AZ Chute
1440 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ
AZ Chute (The Chute) is a private men's health club and gay bathhouse on Indian School Road a few blocks from the Melrose District, open since 1994. It is an adult, men-only venue: entry is 18 and over with photo ID, and the club works on a membership you join at the door for a single visit or a longer term. Behind tinted windows the layout is a maze of private cabins, specialty rooms and two video lounges around a small gym, two shower areas and the one thermal facility, a wet steam room. There is no dry sauna, pool or jacuzzi, so this is a steam-and-shower venue rather than a full bathhouse circuit. You pay at the desk for a locker or a room on a timed block (reviewers mention a four-hour window and a locker around $28 at the door, with cheaper online pre-purchase), and the club takes card and tap payments. Published hours are 10 am to 11 pm Sunday through Thursday and 10 am to 3 am on Friday and Saturday nights, although some directories still list it as 24 hours; call ahead if you are planning a late night. The crowd skews toward leather, bear and older regulars, and reviews praise the front-desk staff and the cleanliness of the steam room and rooms while noting that weeknight attendance can be thin. For thermal bathers the practical read is simple: it is the closest steam room to central Phoenix that is open past midnight on weekends, and it is explicitly a social club for gay and bisexual men rather than a spa.
