I tried it out the other night, my first time at any sauna at all actually. Had a great time!

Super friendly staff, I liked that they had a smoking area, nice big open showers. Probably around 10-15 guys there. I was definitely the youngest. Could certainly be a bit darker I think, that blackout night at 357 sounds great! Will have to try it out.
Friday is also Bears night. Lots of bear groups in the city gather at pubs on Fridays and then head to 357 later that night.

I'm telling you, Blackout Friday at 357 is worth it! Even if you're not into bears, there's something for everyone. It just so happens to be even more active than usual on Friday nights. It's really fun. Please check it out and report back to us!

Went to Sydney Sauna for the first time on a Friday evening. Not many guys. Maybe 10? A bit quiet. I did play with 3 of them, and turned down another 3. So, it was a smaller crowd but still plenty of action. Young muscly white guys. I was the only Asian there that night. Everyone was on the main floor with the wet area. Went downstairs to check out the themed rooms, empty.

My 357 review: Amazing. From my experiences traveling, it's one of the best bathhouses in the world comparatively. It's run very professionally, cleaned regularly, and it's extremely active. I'd say the crowd is 40% Asian, the rest is white, mixed or other, almost never see black... in fact, in all my times going, I don't think I've ever seen a black person at 357 oddly. But then again I don't see black people often in Sydney Proper, either.

I love the themed floor (3rd floor). There's an area called the Black Room which isn't really a room but rather a large open area that's pitch black. It has a raised platform in the center where cumdumps can lay on and get gang fucked. There isn't always a cumdump working the center. Oftentimes it's just a bunch of guys standing in a circle with no one in the center. Tons of action happens in the black room. It's so dark that you get a very anon vibe. The only time you can see someone is right as they enter the room, when they are still partially illuminated by the outside lights. After that, take a few steps in and it's basically just a cluster of hands and mouths and cock. I like the black room because there is no cat-and-mouse game-playing here. There's no chasing, choosing, subtlety. It's just a big dark playroom full of naked guys doing whatever with whomever. I like the simplicity and straightforwardness.

On Fridays, they turn off all the lights on the 3rd floor...highly, highly, highly recommend experiencing this. So. Much. Fun. They have an official towel-free theme night, too (Wednesdays and Saturdays), but on Friday everybody is running around naked on the darkened 3rd floor. And if you aren't naked, well, your towel will magically vanish and you'll end up naked eventually. On blackout Fridays, I recommend just taking your towel off from the start and leaving it in a corner at the entrance of the 3rd floor, so you at least have a towel to return to instead of doing the walk of shame back downstairs naked to get a new towel.

Interestingly, the 2nd floor is what surprised me the most. 2nd floor is just hallways of private rooms and a porn theater. This is where guys usually wander around to find someone to hook up with, and then they hop into one of the private rooms (which are all free, btw, amazing...most establishments make you pay for this benefit). Pretty ordinary bathhouse cruising space.
Here is where it gets interesting: at 357, this floor feels like a literal meat market. Normally you'd think everybody would be shuffling around looking in unison. Not here. At 357, it's mostly just white guys who are passively standing in place, being evaluated and judged, and it was the Asian patrons who were aggressively walking around picking and choosing. It was an interesting social dynamic.

The other noticeable thing about 357 is the ambience. It's not blasting with techno music like at a gay club, like other bathhouses do. It's...actually quite relaxing! On the 1st floor wet area, there is no music. Just the sound of water from the showers and whirlpool and guys chatting. When you enter the sauna and steamroom, there is very soothing spa music gently playing. It can be legit relaxing in those rooms...if it weren't for all the guys sucking and fucking and moaning around you.

Highly recommend 357. Go alone even. Be free to explore or just watch. I've gone many nights where I just watched and did not participate. If you just want to watch, you have to be comfortable with saying No a lot to guys approaching you. Everyone is super respectful, but remember that at a bathouse, everyone assumes you are a Yes until you say No. Also, take advantage of the free pass-outs. Take a break, go outside and grab a bite, then return for more fun.
I am a South Indian black and I have been there few times and I have also seen other ethnicities too.
