Shogun (Singapore gay sauna)

Shogun is a gay sauna located on level 2, 51A Pagoda Street, tel. 6221-0367, SMS 9758-7514. This is its third premises in the heart of Chinatown.

Shogun started off as The Box at 182 Telok Ayer Street. The Box was a "cruise club" which meant that patrons could cruise for sex indoors, with their clothes on. However, it proved an unpopular concept leading to its rebranding as Shogun, a gay sauna.

Entry to Shogun is gained by heading up the staircase from Trengganu Street, on the corner opposite Ten Men's Club. The reception desk is located on level 2 up a flight of steps from the street level entrance.

Level 2 has lockers, TV lounge, dark maze, and a very clever glass-enclosed smoking room so that you can still cruise those taking a cigarette break.

Level 3 has a large lounge with futons, dark rooms, cabins, outdoor shower and a BJ bench. It is one of the most popular gay saunas because of the reasonable entry charge of $12 (formerly only $10), welcoming staff and friendly crowd which tends towards the macho, mature, bears and their admirers. it open 24 hours daily and there are theme nights. No membership fee required.
