About Outside Sauna

Outside Sauna in Belfast is a cool spot for gay and bisexual guys to hang out, right in the middle of the city's LGBT area. It's the only gay sauna in Northern Ireland and it's got a really laid-back vibe. The place is open all day and night on weekends, and stays open late on Thursdays too, so it's easy to fit into any schedule. When you go there, you'll find a chill lounge area where you can just relax and meet people. They've got private cabins too, if you're looking for some quiet time. Plus, they take care of your stuff with secure lockers. They also throw some fun themed events every now and then, which shakes things up a bit. Basically, it's a great place to just be yourself, unwind, and maybe make some new friends. It's right in the heart of Belfast's gay scene, so it's super easy to get to and a popular spot for both locals and visitors.

I went with a mate a week past and it was dead until around 1am wen the pubs closed. I had lots of fun from that til around 3am. Plenty of condoms and lube and I found it an interesting and very horny experience. I would of liked a new towel to shower following it tho and the soap dispenser in the loo was empty. I hid my poppers in the smoking area and they got stolen. It was overall a good experience

I went to Belfast for a day from Dublin last Saturday. I was there about 5 years ago, and I am shocked that nothing has improved. It still won’t accept cards, only cash. The whole place badly needs an update and a deep clean. The cubicles are dirty and need a fresh coat of paint. In the toilets, there is an awful smell. There are a lot of moulds on the ceilings, and some are damaged. I can't believe they have let standards drop so low. In Dublin’s Sauna “The Boilerhouse,” the standards are very high—very clean, friendly staff, and some areas have already been renovated, which is really good. I would never go back again unless it has been fully renovated.

Website takes you to something based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Was put off trying these place as has no legitimate website or way of viewing it. Locals in gay bars warned me off of the basis of poor customer experience. If the website allowed you to view and interact with the business that might make it more approachable but without a legitimate site it’s very off putting and backs up word of mouth suggestions.

It needs some servere TLC. It the steam room wasn't working when we visited. The dry sauna is large and clean, the jacuzzi is large. The play area is quite large with plenty of rooms and areas to visit. But the layout is odd. It's all over the place, the showers and some of the places need some money spending on them. In all honesty it's one of the worst saunas I've been to for a long time.

The experience wasn't great. The place needs updating and cleaning. There is a few things out of order. The guy behind the counter was funny and put us at ease. There wasn't many guys there. Perhaps 5 or so. Make some improvments, clean the facilities more, give flip flops. And put on more theme nights to attract more lads.
