Club 541, Palm Springs

About Club 541

Club 541 is Palm Springs' dedicated gay men's sex club, and it's clear about what it is not: there's no pool, sauna, or steam room, so don't come expecting a traditional bathhouse. What it has is a sling room, a dark room, cruising corridors, private rooms, an outdoor patio with misting fans and a firepit, and Tom of Finland artwork throughout. It's run by the same team behind The Slammer in Los Angeles, and the vibe is hyper-masculine and purpose-built. The programming is regular enough to plan around: CUMUnion on the first Friday of the month, FurHaus bear nights on the third Thursday, and Wednesday afternoon sessions. It's 18-and-up, no drugs or alcohol, and payment is cards or mobile pay only, no cash. Reviewers consistently flag the cleanliness and the professional door, which is part of why it's become a fixture of the southside play scene.
