How did they get away with re-opening?
Is it just because they don’t serve alcohol?!!

jm198 · 20-09-2020 8:51am

It’s closed until the 10th of October due to the level 3 restrictions in Dublin

I imagine they opened on the same basis as health and fitness places.

1 to 1 training sessions only, No classes?

Gael23 · 21-09-2020 1:33pm

It’s a breeding ground for germs at the best of times.
Wouldn’t even think of going near the place at the moment

Beechwoodspark · 16-10-2020 3:15pm

I see reference to this place on the covid thread

Given the circumstances Is this place still open does anyone know?

Seems a bit mad that pubs can’t open yet a public sauna is?

How are they justifying it

Ten of Swords · 16-10-2020 4:29pm

Its closed, note on their website says they will remain closed until Level 3 restrictions are lifted

Several cases of drug-resistant dysentery were previously associated with this spot.

Given where we're currently at, such a place should be shut down indefinitely.

If and when the pandemic passes, it should be allowed reopen, once it adheres to stringent controls to prevent patrons walking out of there with ailments one might associate more with a grim Dickensian flophouse.

Lets also strictly regulate - >
nightclubs for glandular fever / influenza
Colleges for mumps
Swimming pools for viral meningitis
Sports for broken bones
Hospitals for HAIs...

You are making an assumption that the above link refers to the boilerhouse?

Dickie10 · 25-05-2021 11:04pm

any sign of the boilerhouse opening? will it open with gyms?

Their website is a good place to start:

https://www.the-boilerhouse.com/

It says the 7th of June, Monday-Wednesday 13:00-21:00, and Thursday - Sunday: 13:00 - 23:00

So, not full hours, no steam rooms or jacuzzi.

It looks like they will have a contact tracing requirement, and masks required etc... The announcement is way down at the bottom of the page.

knope_42 · 15-08-2021 8:28pm

Has anyone been recently? Is it really quiet? Just wondering if its a waste of time and money right now. I usually went after a night out on a Friday or Saturday and it was very busy with plenty of people under 50. Was thinking of going some evening mid week. Whats the crowd like then and is there many?

cgcsb · 16-08-2021 12:24am

Friend of mine went and said it was quiet. They are now asking people to show their vaccine certificate.

It's closing at midnight these days. Before most of the action there was between 00:00 and 06:00

I'd say you're probably better off waiting until the closing time restrictions are lifted which we don't know yet. They said at the end of August they'll announce a roadmap towards removing the remaining restrictions, hopefully the time limits will be first to go.

Liberty_Bear · 30-06-2022 12:45am

Went in tonight for a bit of R&R (yeah right!)

Was a nice crowd, not packed. Loved listening to one guy explaining to two lads about teh etiquette and how to approach people as they had never been

Got what I wanted myself so happy out

L.Jenkins · 24-07-2022 12:05pm

Think this thread needs to be put to bed and a new one started :P

Dickie10 · 05-08-2022 10:40pm

nice to know the run of things though, havent been for a while

AllForIt · 16-08-2022 10:06pm

Is the boilerhouse still open for business. You'd think they'd shut given the Monekpox virus.

What? Why? Might aswel shut because of meteor strikes

mr.anonymous · 17-08-2022 5:19pm

They don't have to close by public health advice, but are they doing anything given that their regulars are the most at risk group for monkeypox?

cgcsb · 17-08-2022 6:13pm

Russia is the largest country and therfore the most likely to suffer meteor strikes, therfore they should close Russia. That's how logical this thinking is

You might want to have a read of this thread: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058258244/monkeypox-virus-and-being-careful#latest

I actually didn't know it can spread by skin contact so I guess just brushing by someone with their top off could get you infected. And I'm sure there's a far higher probability of that happening than being struck by a meteor.

glideaway · 02-04-2023 9:27pm

Looking at going either Monday Tuesday or Wednesday this week as I'm in the city. What evening would be busiest.. say after 6? And is there any student night

Facthunt · 27-10-2023 10:57pm

Is there still demand for saunas in Ireland? I thought these type of premises were closing?

Qrt · 27-10-2023 10:59pm

Nah, people will always want to be a bit slutty. Grindr etc is just mental torture in comparison.

I think when I was in Uni nearly 20 years ago there was “Inn on the Liffey” and another sauna in Cork but these are gone?

Do many turn up at the Boilerhouse? What does it even cost? Guess it’s a guaranteed success option then?

Qrt · 27-10-2023 11:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121292752#Comment_121292752

Liffey one is gone afaik, Covid killed it off. Cork one too probably. Boilerhouse is very expensive but that’s inflation, I think it could be €25? I’d be paying cash anyway, don’t think I’d like an underwriting knowing where I get me hole!

Gael23 · 27-10-2023 11:27pm

It’s €25 now.

I always find it’s really old men in there most of the time

Facthunt · 27-10-2023 11:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121292803#Comment_121292803

Inn on the Liffey was never much good tbh!

€25 is about the standard price. London/Edinburgh/Paris/Amsterdam/ Berlin/Milan all similar prices. Not bad for probably a 90% chance of a happy ending 😂😂😂

It can be …. But depends I guess!

cgcsb · 28-10-2023 8:29am

Boiler House is the last one in Dublin. There's the Steam works in Belfast which AFAIK is still open. There was a Greek style one in Cork that's gone and there was one in Limerick which I assume is gone. Grindr is a form of torture, hours of chat and then 'ok I'll come over but have to be quick' - don't bother. Or there's 'I'll be there in half an hour' then in half an hour 'I'm sick can't come' all this shite is bypassed by the sauna and its handy after the night out. Its clearly not as big a thing as it used to be. Some clubs now have sex on site spaces like Sweatbox, NSFW, Oink etc. And Basic Instincts has a dungeon that's pretty high quality.

Amsterdam and Germany are the places to check out! They are an eye opener for us innocent Irish folk 😂😂😂

Facthunt · 28-10-2023 11:31am

Don’t be little the sauna until you have tried them!

As mentioned previously… Grindr and the likes aren’t as rosy as they look!!!!!!

London not bad either but a lot have closed!

I think a lot more realise that these are a better option than using apps!

Do you go often? I think there are better setups on the continent personally!

But it’s certainly not the worst! As the original originator of the post … Hope you enjoyed the BH and any other ones you visited since!

bazbai4 · 02-11-2023 1:33pm

I’ve been there a few times during the year now. I found it an older crowd too (I’m a college student) but had sex each time and can’t complain. Would go there more only for the cost!

Agreed with others on Grindr, I’ve also had experience of chatting and then before the hookup the profile is deleted, it’s soul destroying in a way. Now I’ve had good hookups from it too but I’m just wary of it now a lot of the time.
