via Stay22About this place Schwabinger Men Sauna
In Schwabing, Munich's northern reaches, this gay sauna feels like a local spot, not a tourist trap. It's easy to get to by subway, but far enough from the city center to feel like a real escape. Expect a crowd that skews older.
The place has all the usuals: a Finnish sauna, a steam room, and a bio sauna. There's a solarium too, if you want to pretend it's summer. Beyond the heat, you'll find a bar for a quiet drink, a lounge where people actually talk, and a dark room for whatever happens in there. If you’re feeling ambitious, there’s a gym. They also do massages, and the Wi-Fi is free everywhere.
Munich's gay saunas are where locals go to unwind, a quieter alternative to the bars and clubs. This one, with its focus on a mature crowd, is generally pretty chill. It’s the kind of spot you’d find in any German city that takes its leisure seriously. Check their website for hours and what else they might be up to.

The new owner is very nice. Everything is in excellent condition. I'd gladly come back.
It was my first time there and I must say it was really lovely, starting with the entrance. Very friendly people, a cozy family atmosphere. I would love to come back again.
The MenSauna can also be a party venue. It was a truly wonderful evening. An unexpectedly great location, very clean, and perfectly managed by the team behind the bar (and pretty much everywhere else). The prices are more than reasonable. And the crowd was fantastic! Great guests, incredibly sexy, yet totally relaxed. I'll definitely be back.
Super
Simply put, this is a fantastic sauna. The new owner has breathed new life into it. For years, nothing had changed. Now things are really moving forward. The price is right, too. Other saunas have time limits, but not here. He has great ideas and puts them into practice. Unfortunately, many people can't wait until everything is finished. Good things take time. I myself have been a regular customer for a long time, even under the previous owner. And I'll definitely continue to be one.
It's difficult. Practically speaking, my visit was a complete flop, but theoretically, I don't want to completely trash the sauna. The decor is a matter of taste, and it's not to my liking, plus it's extremely dark everywhere. Okay, Frank had the same issue. The hygiene room, announced for September, still wasn't there at the end of September. Okay, I happened to be there on Bräurosl Sunday, and the weather was fantastic (probably the last nice summer day). I wasn't expecting many visitors, but there were exactly three of us, including myself. The owner can't be blamed for that. But if it's quiet and you decide you want to at least have a relaxing sauna experience, that should be possible. The infrared cabin wasn't working, so that was out of the question. The light therapy sauna was on, but there wasn't much light therapy left. It was always the same colors, and two of the light strings were broken. I'm familiar with light therapy saunas that have alternating lights. Okay, the dry sauna and the steam room were usable, and there was running water. You can settle for very little, after all. The restaurant area wasn't very inviting, so I skipped it. In one of the rooms, they were even showing an adult film for heterosexual viewers. It wasn't so bad, since it later became the drying room, occupied by a rather unsightly clothes rack. I'm not a fan of adult films (my problem), but if there's nothing else going on, you watch. Unfortunately, the films were extremely boring, regardless of the screen, and featured very young actors, making me wonder if I was even committing a crime by watching them. A little variety to cater to different tastes would be nice. The final straw, however, was the question after I'd been in the sauna for an hour and a half: "How much longer would you like to stay?" What they really meant was: "Please go, we want to close, there's hardly anyone here." It would have been fairer to tell me that at the entrance: "Sorry, there are very few visitors, we want to close early." Then I could have decided whether to go to the Eiche, which only costs €3 more but has a restroom and, even if it probably wasn't as busy that day, at least there would be more than two people there, or whether to stay put. Whether I'll go there again is rather doubtful. What a shame.
It was a really pleasant first time there. The welcome was very friendly. I'd be happy to come back.
