Utopia Asia has a very informative section on Tokyo along with addresses of bars, saunas etc. In addition to Arty Farty and GB (very crowded and smoky at week-ends), there are Fuji and Kinsmen both very close to GB and welcome gaijin.
For saunas, try the new 24 in Shinjuku. Utopia has a link to the 24 website. There are three 24 saunas (the other 2 are in Ueno and Asakusa) and this is the latest. Unfortunately there is no map, but there is for the one in Ueno which I have always found excellent - lots of different ages, some happy to meet gaijin, great rainforest steam room etc.
There is also a small one called Casablanca near Akasaka-mitsuke which welcomes gaijin and attracts some youngish businessmen. And if you like things fairly basic, there's a hattenba called Treffpunkt in roughly the same area - this is sometimes active at lunchtimes. On entering saunas, you have to take off your shoes and put them in a locker (10 Yen) before you go to the window to pay and get your towel and bathrobe.
The problem always is trying to find them because Japanese street addresses are just a series of numbers - like 5-12-14 something. With a detailed map that includes the area and block numbers, you are half way to getting close. Get help from the hotel receptionist. Whatever you do, DON'T expect taxi drivers to find the addresses. You will end up going round in circles and paying a fortune. Using the JR and subway system and then walking is best.
Lastly, don't expect all the handsome Japanese guys to fall for you. Lots of Japanese only like being with other Japanese, so be prepared to be rebuffed. And some who want to be with a gaijin may be a bit shy at first. Persevere - and keep a smile on your face!
