Great Polish Food

Great Polish food with an extensive beer and vodka menu. Gay owned and operated this place is great for a quick polish dishes like Pierogi (dumping) or Kaczka (Roast duck). A good mix in crowd and isn't too far from Newtown and darling harbour.

Just the best

When my partner and I are in Melbourne we always make time to stop in to WOW. This is by far one of the best Sauna's in town with great facilities and a huge pool and wet area. The only disadvantage is its location. It a 20-30min drive from the city but it does have lots of street parking at the front. It has a mixed bag off clients and has a good layout. Its kept clean and the staff have been friendly and helpful.

Not good.

My partner and I visited the place in 2015 after renovations were done. There are so many issues with this place its difficult to find any positives. The layout is all over the place and doesn't make sense. The rooms are small and I found it difficult to use as I'm over 6ft. (my foot kept hitting the door). I believe the renovation were designed to bring in some of bodyline's clients as they are close to each other. It hasn't worked though, as when we visited it was full with the same type of clients from pre-renovation, old regulars that believe they own the place. (attitude and all). I didnt find the staff that helpful either. We stood in the bar area for a while to see what was on offer and were ignored by staff. We staying for less than an hour and haven't been back since. I feel sorry for the new owners as they have spent a lot of money on the renovation but it just doesn't work.

Great for some hard play

HQ is great for some hard play. It's the local leather, wet room and "hardplay" club. Three levels of dungeons, cages, dark rooms makes for some great fun. Peak periods are between Friday and Sunday but check the website as they have the party types listed for all to see. The only disadvantage I have found is the lack of shower facilities. During peak periods it gets really smelly with all the sweaty men. Great if you're into that scene but a show would be good... You can pay for a shower and towel at the counter if you like but I find it inconvenient. They also don't have lockers with your clothes put in bags and held in a locker room during some of the themed nites. HQ also allows you to walk around fully clothed but not during some of the parties. Its great for a quickie as there isn't much effort required when you arrive. Parking isn't great due to its location just off oxford st, but there is a lot of metered parking and as long as you're prepared to walk a few blocks you should find parking. In short this is a great place to visit if you're into "that" sort of scene.

Could be better, much better.

Bodyline has long been a visiting spot for Twinks in Sydney. Located close to ARC and Taylor Square this place rocks late Fridays/early morning Saturdays. It does offer a great $6.00 entry between 12pm & 12-15pm during weekdays which is cool for a cheap quickie and you can get 2hr parking parking before 3pm just out the front. Weekends are really good with all the younger guys coming out of around 1am from ARC and other local nite clubs for a bit of fun. When the Steam room is packed it gets really hot... :-) Now for the Cons. The facilities are shocking! Doors falling off rooms, locks no longer working and a steam room that keeps breaking down and in need of urgent repair. The owner does seem to care about spending anything on the place and though the lounge area has been renovated, nothing much has been done to the cruising areas in years. There is a chill-out area on the top floor with an open sun deck (nudity not permitted). It though also hasn't been renovated for a good 10 years and offers little. In short Bodyline is worth checking out during peak periods but its by far not the best sauna in town. If your interested in young thinks then this is the best, but be prepared to come with an equally chiselled body as they can be very fussy.

Best Sauna in Town

My Partner and I visit this Sauna regularly and by far this is the best in Sydney. Gay owned and operated this is not only one of the friendliest Sauna's around it is the largest. Located close to Haymarket, 357 has a strong Asian presence but it has diversified recently with the closure of Ken's in 2013. You now get a good mix of Asian, Twinks, Cubs and Older guys. The best time to visit is Friday before 7PM, Saturday & Sunday. between 3pm-7pm. Sunday, by far is the busiest with a foam party held from 4pm. If you're visiting during Mardi Gras be sure to get in before 2pm as the queue to get is gets really really long as the place max's out with over 400 guests. The place is kept clean and well maintained. (Doors that lock and aren't falling off their hinges). They did some renovations recently in the wet area. It also offers unlimited towels for a max of 20 Hours unlike other Sydney Sauna's. They also have a 24hour STI terminal linked to Sydney Sexual health clinic providing anonymous STI testing. ACON (Aids Council of NSW) also have representatives onsite during peak periods offering advise (when approached) on STI's and how to play safe. There is actually 3 levels of play with the top floor a chill out area and a cafe called Boys on top. This is licensed cafe with a great selection of rolls and cakes. Coffee is limited to instant and POD type. They have Internet access and a small theatre showing popular movies. The downside is when its quiet its REALLY quiet. Unlike Bodyline this place doesn't "rock" late at nite/early AM on Friday~Sunday nites. Also parking can get expensive during the day. Do your research if driving in or take public transport. 357 is a must to check out during any Sydney visit. Happy Cruising! :-)
