fenghou Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's becos the "K" has lot of FREE entries to make it crowded. But that place is getting more dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg01greg Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 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 FunLoving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucasTLy Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 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. persianblue and p-2122 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tomato Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 2 hours ago, Guest Guest doubt said: 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.

Guest Guest Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People stopped going to Hook because there is hardly any action in the maze and most customers just stand there for display only. After a few visits, people gave up and went to KB instead.

Value for money. no other sauna can match till today, in my opinion. It was one of the pioneers in the early 2000s, it was closed around 2005. 😭 Edited May 9 by Malabird FunLoving, mate69 and p-2122 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There're usually 3 types: 1. Stationary Statues 2. Zooming Zombies 3. Snagging Snackers Category 3 have a Grab and Go mentality and usually get what they want. Category 1 and 2 are like asteroids and planets that every once in a long while experience some impact and fireworks with each other. Category 3 are interstellar spaceships that conduct successful launches that either board each other, land on planets or mine the asteroids. It's a beautiful universe.

Nostalgia can be therapeutic. Towel Club may have, thrown in their towel, so to speak. Hook hasn't been let off the hook either. Thankfully, Keybox so far hasn't been boxed up or boxed in yet. I remember all these places fondly, except the sharp pointy flooring at the Hook/Cruiseclub shower area (I do like other areas in Hook). Hopefully we gay folks will always think out of the box and come up with new innovative places we can hangout so that we are less hung up, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for...oh well. matric and Malabird 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
