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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 jm198


    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?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,086 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,279 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    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

    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...

    Live a little

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,862 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    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.

    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?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,266 ✭✭✭cgcsb


    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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 823 ✭✭✭Liberty_Bear


    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

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



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,862 ✭✭✭Dickie10


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



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,268 ✭✭✭AllForIt


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



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,266 ✭✭✭cgcsb


    What? Why? Might aswel shut because of meteor strikes



  • Registered Users Posts: 481 ✭✭mr.anonymous


    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?

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,266 ✭✭✭cgcsb


    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
