Hawks PDX (Closed Permanently)

clear intent

When you go into hawks you can tell from the layout and friendly, sexy staff that you are in a bathhouse and you cannot ignore your reasons. This doesn't pretend to be a spa or hotel; it's a place to fuck with some areas for hot scenes. The rooms are big enough for fucking, not sleeping. This isn't for the feint of heart, and caters very nicely to the fetish and kink guys. The sauna and steam room offer a great way to relax. Some other commenter was bitching because they're too lazy to take a look around: there are public toilet spaces for those into that (smart design on Hawks' part: a lot of guys are), but there are also two other bathrooms right beside the showers with toilets, sinks, and mirrors. I used one to douche before having a fantastic time there during a RubberZone party where I got a free month of porn just for coming. Hawks' really is great, just not for everybody.

Phone booth Sized Rooms. Indifferent Sanitation

The actual bathhouse bears little similarity to the experience described on the web site. Potential visitors need to understand that this is not your typical bathhouse. The "rooms' if you can call them that, are substantially smaller than any other bath house you have ever been in. There is no place to even lay down in most of the private rooms. You rent a "room" and get a space slightly larger than a shower cubicle to stand up in. Next to it is a raised area about 3 1/2 feet by 3 1/2 feet. The spaces are so incredibly cramped it is not physically possible for two human beings to do much in them. There are also no sheets on any of these little mattresses/pads - Since they are made out of textured vinyl, I wonder if it is even possible to effectively sanitize them between patrons.. I was there for what was called a "Sunday Afternoon Barbeque and Tea Dance". This consisted of a plate of discount burger patties, and a 2 pound container of potato salad. There was nothing else going on during this "special event". There are so many significant "Issues' with this property, I cannot recommend it to any potential guest. There is not even a hot tub in this "bath house".

Horribly small, creepy staff, boring.

Club is small, usually dead, and the guy who checked me in was a total creep. Doesn't even have a hot tub, which is probably a first for me in years. You're better off going to Steam. Nicer place, not nearly as dead.

Nice place but not much action and somebody shit in the shower

I was hesitant to visit this place based on the reviews promoting barebacking. I thought I would check it out anyways as it looked pretty nice on the website. The staff was courteous, the place was clean and the steam room and dry sauna were very high tech, new and modern. My night got ruined though because of one bad incident. Somebody took a shit in the shower. The smell was awful. The staff were quick to clean it but acted like it was no big deal. Maybe this is the kind of place where people are into shit play I don't know. After cleaning it still smelled and I asked them if they would clean it again, they did and seemed to do a good job but the sight of shit in the shower just turned me off for the night. Also there just didn't seem to be much action going on. It seemed people had left after the whole shit incident as not long after it seemed pretty empty even on a Saturday night. Anyways, it might just be a one off so I might consider giving them another chance.

Ok but not great

Visited here in May and although we had a fun time with a guy, the facility itself was disappointing. We travel alot and have had alot of great experiences in bath house....Portland was not one of those places!
