Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Minimal to virtually none (under 5 minutes). Guests are checked in individually at the discrete reception bell.
Best night
Fridays and Saturdays draw the largest weekend crowds. Wednesdays are highly popular for the designated mid-week theme.
Locals vs visitors
Strictly cis and trans queer men (18+). The demographic is unpretentious and highly diverse, blending local Scottish regulars with international tourists visiting the capital.
Dress code in practice
Towels are standard. However, Wednesdays are "Naked Day" where towels must stay in lockers and full nudity is mandatory in the wet/play zones.
Staff inclusion
Front desk staff are frequently reviewed as friendly, approachable, and happy to orient first-time visitors. The venue hosts a dedicated NHS ROAM Outreach team every Tuesday (4:30 PM – 7:30 PM) providing free, confidential on-site sexual health testing and support to patrons.
