Why it endures in the Age of Grindr.<\/p>\n<p>Writing<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Now, in the age of hook-up apps like Grindr, Tinder, Scruff, and Hornet, the club offers a sense of community rarely experienced on social media, its proponents say. \u201cTrying to hook up on Grindr can be very shady, very bitchy,\u201d says frequent customer William. \u201cWhen you get off Grindr, you can kind of feel horrible, terrible about yourself. What people say on an app is not what they\u2019ll say to your face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crew Club owner David Caldwell Allen says the rise of the internet and on-demand sex has had a counterintuitive effect. \u201cIn the past couple of years, we have seen an uptick in business because, basically, I think men are tired of spending hours online,\u201d he says with a chuckle, adding that clubs who are members of the North American Bathhouse Association have reported the same trend. \u201cSome of the clubs have said 5, 6 percent, others have said 10. We\u2019re probably somewhere in between.\u201d Allen\u2019s establishment has also recently seen more patrons in their twenties and thirties. Younger guests arrive as bars approach closing time, William observes, and regulars show up earlier in the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you\u2019re a customer in the club, I really think we\u2019ve got you,\u201d Allen says, declining to share how many memberships the business tends to see each year. \u201cThe place is clean as a whistle.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To read the rest of the article go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtoncitypaper.com\/news\/article\/20864049\/why-dcs-gay-bathhouse-crew-club-endures-in-the-age-of-grindr\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Why D.C.&#8217;s Gay Bathhouse Crew Club Endures in the Age of Grindr<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Andrew Giambrone, reporter for Washington City Paper, has written a story about D.C.&#8217;s Gay Bathhouse Crew Club.
