Hawks PDX is a gay bathhouse located in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States.
Description
Though considered a gay bathhouse, Hawks hosts weekly bisexual nights, as well as other themed nights.[1][2] Some of those include bear nights and gender-fluid nights.[3] In 2013, the bathhouse's manager Derek Garduno confirmed that all male-identified people are welcome, saying: "Sometimes a guy — any guy — just needs to get away from his job, get away from the world, and have some fun. A guy needs to play. You can do that here."[4]
Willamette Week's Jack Russell described Hawks as "Grindr IRL", meaning a real life version of Grindr, and "the dive bar bathhouse that feels much more like you're at somebody's house than an upscale gym".[5][6] Andrew Collins of TripSavvy wrote, "This clean and well-maintained sex club has a big following with fans of S&M, group sex, and role-playing. Inside you'll find glory hole areas, three slings, an orgy area, a watersports section, bear and fisting parties, and other intriguing elements."[7]
History
Hawks PDX opened in April 2012.[8] Hawks is one of only two bathhouses in Portland.[6][9]
In May 2017, gay pornography studio Treasure Island Media shot the film This Is You at Hawks.[10] The studio held a DVD release party for the film later that month.[11]
