let's see where they will relocate to. They were a rather successful not too crowded and not too dead gay sauna pre-COVID....

 

I miss that vibe.

 

Other competitors such as the one that starts with a "K" is too crowded for my liking.

That's becos the "K" has lot of FREE entries to make it crowded. But that place is getting more dirty.

I guess the crowd is always more important.

 

While I will miss the current Hook location I look forward to it's reopening with a better crowd.

been to hook club only once but I went to cruise before.. I think both hook and cruise were from the same management.. 

when I use to patron cruise.. I felt that the staff there were a bit stuck up.. no smiles not that welcoming at all..  and when I tried hook club.. it was the same cold welcoming treatment.. 

bye hook

I went to Hook today only to find out that it has closed down. I feel really sad, hoping it's just relocation, not closure. Thank you so much, Hook/Cruise, for sticking to your principles and providing a place exclusively for young people all these years.

The relocation still havent announce yet,i suspect is closure permanently.

Looking forward to the day when a new sauna will match the standards of the old Towel Club and Absolute.

I doubt a new sauna will open in singapore.

From the marketing perspective, the new sauna will need to meet these parameters:

  • market segmentation - this has failed in Hook with the younger crowd
  • pricing - there is a certain price which is acceptable by the local crowd.  If all saunas were to come together and fix a minimum price, likely there can be higher prices which can translate to better facilities (like those in Aussie)
  • business model - if the new sauna can also co-exist as a hotel (previous Babylon).

Fact is, Singapore is a small country with expensive rentals (and overheads), and people are unwilling to pay a more expensive fee for sauna entrance, the sauna landscape will likely remain the same.

Not possible in SG,  BK is a well known and well established gay destination but for SG,  STB want to promote it as a family destination suitable for children. Just focus on local patrons is difficult to survive and it get bored when u see the same faces every visit.

Towel Club is the best.

Absolute standards is about 80% of Towel Club.

But sadly, after Absolute closed, no other sauna has been able to match their standards.

Wonder why.

It is the vibes and the event that organised.
