Sweat

About this place Sweat

Sweat in Fownes Street Upper is one of Dublin's longest-established gay saunas, situated in the Temple Bar area of Dublin 2 and within easy reach of the George's Street and Capel Street venues. The facility provides the full range of gay sauna amenities — steam room, dry sauna, pool area, darkrooms, private cabins and a rest area — in a centrally located building that makes it convenient to reach from most parts of the city centre. The central location makes it the obvious choice for visitors staying in Dublin 2 or Dublin 1, and the regular clientele includes both Dublin residents and international visitors who have added it to their Dublin itinerary. Sauna culture in Ireland is less developed than in Germany or the Netherlands, which makes Sweat's existence and continued operation a significant resource for Dublin's gay community.
