Best Gay Saunas in Madison

Madison has no gay sauna or bathhouse, and we'd rather say so than list one we can't verify. Places like Saunaday are co-ed wellness saunas, not gay venues.

The nearest gay bathhouse is in Chicago, about 2.5 hours by car or bus. In Madison itself, the social scene runs through three gay bars: Woof's and the Shamrock by the Capitol Square, and FIVE Nightclub on the south side. Crucible on Commercial Avenue runs fetish nights. See our Madison bars page for details.
