The Watergarden (Closed Permanently)

(39 Ratings)
San Jose's men's bathhouse
In the leafy, old-timey Rose Garden neighborhood but close to I-880 (exit The Alameda). The neighborhood is charming, and the Watergarden has real charms, too: A huge steam room with lots of dark corners is very popular, and the outdoor pool, jacuzzi and patio, all surrounded with well kept landscaping, is a wonderful oasis. Membership required.

More of a spa than a bathouse

It seems almost politically incorrect to say anything negative about the Watergarden, but I will. Yes, it is beautifully clean and well maintained. My issue is, it isn't the best place for sex. Unlike Steamworks or Blowbuddies with lots of play areas, most of the areas at Watergarden are lounges, and not conducive to sex. And even trying to play in the play areas, like the porn TV room, is hard when you have 5 men standing at the door talking about their prostates for hours on end.

Good for older guys

I was impressed that, being in my 70s, I still felt relaxed and comfortable. It is easy to move around in the attractive environs and feel like you belong. People were smiling, and even though I am shy, I met a few great guys. I am anxious to go back and meet some new friends.

Great place to relax

You can hang out for some "fun" in the steam room or Big Screen TV room, or sit by a fireplace (on cold days) in a what looks like a upscale hotel lobby. They have a pool table if you are into that. And of course the cute little rooms to play in. If you like public play that is there too. Pool and Hot Tub area very nice. You find mostly respectful people there. I would say there is someone for everyone there. Older, Younger, any race, any fetish.
