I have never heard of a place that lets you check it out before entering and I have been all over the USA.
I usually check out the parking lot (or the number of cars out front) and wait a few minutes to see who is entering and exiting. It is always hit or miss depending on the time of day, day of week, etc, but that's the chances you take. Some bathhouses have in & out access, but many don't. I think this is the only place like it between outside of LA, the OC, San Diego and PS so check it out and post your review so others know what it's like.

THANK-YOU!! So much for that comment Curbmaster I could not have said it better myself! TBT is DEFINITELY a TREASURE in this area I agree! These guys around here should be going there with bells on! As you suggested the cost is cheap when you compare to driving to L.A. fighting traffic and risk getting shot by a drive by shooter. After driving to L.A. which is SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS...you're soooo stressed out from the drive that you barely have the desire to have sex in a bath-house!!! Granted this place is new..and guys cannot expect it to be full 24/7 but give it time to let the word spread around and it will soon be consistently busy. Guys...shouldn't turn away just because the parking lot isn't full. Maybe theres only 2 or 3 guys..maybe they're hotties OR maybe you go in and 5 minutes later 5 guys pull into the parking lot? If you have the right (mind-set) you WILL have a good time regardless of the outcome! Don't worry about how many guys are in the parking lot..just have an open mind and try it out..and I GAURANTEE if enough guys do this...soon the parking lot will be full of cars. Just think if you had to spend all that gas driving to L.A. or Palm Springs! Think of the money you'll save! You know paying a cheap entrance fee is not always such a good idea. If its too cheap what kind of guys will be attracted to it? As with alot of things such as this..you dont want to be too cheap because guys will think its not good enough, nor do you want to be overly expensive. To me the price is just about right for this type of place. Incidentally!! Those video arcades where you dump in those tokens or quarters..you can easily dump in up to 20 dollars watching those videos! At TBT you can watch the videos for as long as you like AND be naked too!! ;-)

Hey Guys!
I went to TBT to check it out and to be honest I wasn't all that impressed. I got a free tour of the place, (no sling - CB) and there were a few guys there. The place is clean and somewhat compact since there are a lot of rooms crammed into what used to be a medium sized office. Parking lot is small and street parking limited - don't recommend in this area EVER! WHAT GOT ME was the cost of going there: $16 to $20.00 for 12-Hr pass - depending on which day you went there - was a little high. For a year membership it was $40.00 (wait! that's not all) plus a FEE EVERYTIME YOU ENTER ( for example $8 - $16.00 for a locker) that fluctuates depending on the day or any 'special' that is being run. You don't even want to know what the room charges were! Yeah, different rooms with - Yep, you guessed it! More Charges. There was no mention of a room being included with the membership, even though I was told that by one of staff when I called. Where did I get this info - from a person claiming to be the Owner! I'm a handsome guy, and yeah I'm hung well. Thought this might be a cool place to come and play, but I have to be honest here. You would have to be Horned up out of your mind and completely, stupidly desperate to pay that much money for sex. Especially over the long term! Until they lower their prices, I won't go there! I'd rather meet up with guys online or whatever and spend my money on better things. BTW, I've got 9" here; I don't have to charge $$ and don't want to ;-) I saw another thread with a guy posting about how we shouldn't complain about cost. Too bad! I will complain and say that for now that place is not worth it! I work hard for my money &, I want to play, but I'm not dumb enough to check my brains at the door for an overpriced sex club in a very crime-prone area. I've been to hot places in Vegas that charged less and offered a whole lot more. Let TBT get real about prices/ add-on's and then I'll be back One other thing, the owner should have gone for a better location. TBT is right across the street from houses containing families (Yeah, in a residential neighborhood - Not Cool!) with young Children who are playing right in front it. You might respond 'So What, they can't see anything!', but people are not stupid and will know what is going on. Which can cause a whole other set of problems. Add to that it is only three blocks from the S.B. Superior courts...  |

gunnar24u-
Interesting. This is what a Message Board is about. Though not in my nieghorhood, thought TBT as an option when passing by. Will keep my eyes posted here on what others encounter. Rooms at either ROMAN HOLIDAY locations (Van Nuys and the one near Venice Beach) are $22 with no membership fee. |

Took a drive up to SB to check the place out. There is a fine line between that neighborhood and a DMZ! I thought if I was to drop 40 for a room I might as well just hand the doorman my car stereo and slash my top and tires. Boy's there is no place like SanDiego and that is where I am headed. For those not in the know
The Vulcan has an out door spa a sun patio, steam room and sauna Private rooms a bunk room and you can get a room for under 20 bucks. The Vulcan has mix of some hotties Chubs old guys and twinks it depends when you go it is exceptionally clean and everyone is really nice . Club SD in University Heights Prices are a little higher than the Vulcan , but there are TV rooms and alot more hotties but if you are overweight or over 50 you might as well just jack off because the hot young guys are looking for hot young guys Club 2200 Pool, Steamroom, Huge Spa ,Sauna TV Rooms NON TV Rooms prices change depending on the special but still a lot less than TB good mix of guys but no where near as clean as the Vulcan Hope this has been helpful for those comming fron the Inland empire , that if you arrive at 7PM you don't have to leave till 7 AM when you factor that in the drive down the 15 is not so bad Spike |

The "NATIONAL INSURANCE CRIME BUREAU VEHICLE THEFT STUDY" has San Diego as 12th and San Bernardino-Riverside as 15th. Crime could happen anywhere. Could hand over your keys and stereo in San Diego too, huh? lol
Yahoo Maps has it 71 miles from San Bernardino to Van Nuys (with bathhouse, ROMAN HOLIDAY, there in Van Nuys with NORTH HOLLYWOOD SPA near there too. Your options to TBT to the closiest LA locations). That's 142 miles round trip. My vehicle gets 18mpg, that's just about 8 gallons @ $2.80 per gallon would cost me $22.40 for that trip. Once a month for a year would be $268.80. FLEX'S BATHS (Melrose @ the 101 Freeway) membership is $15 for 6-months w/locker that visit = $30 membership per year. If TBT is close to you, that's $10 more a year + an additional locker fee for the 1 extra visit. Then figure out your gasoline for a trip into LA or down to SD. I have an aunt in Lucerne Valley, thought TBT could be an option as a stop on the way home. Have gotten a room at the Howard Johnson's before and gone to the WESTSIDE 15 (room, drinking, and then a breakfast nearby - with a Denney's and something like Suzie Q's right there. There's $75-85 or so). By-the-way, talked to several guys & gals too at WESTSIDE (very friendly group) but didn't score sex. Will keep my eyes peeled here on more reports on TBT. More curious to the crowd/scene inside the club than those wanting something for nothing. Just keeping it as an option, as having choices is a good thing. Might pull off the freeway, if neighborhood appears to be very bad and no parking in their lot, I might continue home. Or a full-lot means the club is busy .... my vehicle is insured for theft and it has an alarm, do have a steering wheel lock I haven't used yet so bring that along. Anyone been lately?? |

Someone mentioned that the TNT Spa for men should have special offers. The new ad in the Desert Daily Guide mentions Buy 1--Get 1 in Free and other specials and says they are now open 24/7...
