Mgmt. needes to listen

While I have positive things to say about Club Columbus, I join a chorus of complaints about the music. Too loud and not appropirate for the age crowd that frequents the club. The facility is clean, the pool is great and I have always found action and left satisfied. Please listen to your customers. 60's, 70's and 80's music, and turn it DOWN..

It all depends.

The club manager and people who work there have an attitude. It's clear they want your money but after that...you wont get much. They have this big cafe they put in...but it's never open. The music is BOOM BOOM BOOM. It isn't enjoyable. Why? The crowd is mostly 35 and over. We like the 70s...80s music. Throw some CW music in! The rooms are very clean, they gym is great. No complaints there. The clientel are mostly older which I like. I prefer blue collar MEN...not twinkie boys. They need to focus on serving all of the clients. Not just the twinkie bois. There prices are a bit too high. The biggest complaint? The don't exactly tell you the truth. They have maybe 5 cars in the parking lot and start the "waiting list" for the rooms. It's clear most of the rooms are empty. Can we say GREED?

Yes and No...Verdict still out

I live three hours from The Club and usually hit the place about once a month. Lets start with the good. The pool is awesome. Summer at the Club is great, lounging at the pool naked as a jay bird and in a non competitive environment. Sun all day. No pressure pleasure. Just great. The Staff is excellent. Not a one of them has attitude All are pleasant. The towells are nice and always clean. The rooms are clean and changed up quickly. Ive never waited or wanted for anything. And its clean!! Winter months, its way to cold to be wandering around there in a towel. The music is clearly geared to the wrong market. The music is Gay Dance Music. The clientele is DL daddies and on Parade. Rare does someone see anyone there under the age of 30. Or at least not on the nights I have visited. I have been there both weekday and weekend nights. Not much of an under 30 crowd. Change the music guys, please!! We 40 somethings are paying the water bill. Perhaps an indictment of the whole bathhouse thing or maybe of the staff is the refusal to deal with the 'bad element' namely drunks and druggies who enter. Quite a few dudes who have been out drinking and drugging make their way in there to sleep it off. I was there last night, a dude high as a kite was flying all around the halls and eventually ended up in my room till i tossed him. Staff not only didn't put him out, but one staff member kept going in the room and staying in there for 5-10 minutes alone. I guess the help he was offering should be commended. LOL Come on staff...boot the drunks and don't go in their rooms! Overall, I think the place is nice, worth the time and reasonable. Its clean, friendly and lives up to its function as a social watering hole for gay men, albeit middle age men. The summer daytime pool hours are fantastic. Enjoy the upcoming summer sun! Make the Club a stop on your Columbus visit.

Money Wasted

I drove 3.5 hours from Kentucky to check out this spot for my birthday. I was thinking that maybe it would be a lil decent at very least on a Saturday night. I had previously been to the one in Indianapolis, and even tho it wasn't great it was do-able. When I tell you that this will be my last visit th at is what I mean. I initially wanted to go to flex but for some reason they were closed so I came over here and was very upset. Like one of the other commenters had said its nothing but a bunch of young guys chasing behind old ass white men. I have nothing against old men or white men, just not my thing. I came to find another black dude around my age to freak with and that was none the happening because every black man in there only wanted white men. And by heavens dont look at a black dude and be black yourself, they get offended and if you get too close they move. I was like this is not hot. I could have saved my damn $25 and my $70 for gas and stayed in kentucky.
