357 Sauna Sydney City Steam
Proudly Gay owned & operated Sauna for gay men in the Sydney C*D. We were willing to go to court to get approval and so we did and here we are. PROUDLY GAY!
Where do we start! 357 as it seems to be called by most of us, opened its doors on Boxing Day 2001 after two years of searching for a building and consistently being knocked back by Council or homophobic landlords or neighbours or millions of other reasons. So when you enter our premises you can feel comfortable knowing we are a fully licensed and legal s*x on premises venue. You can feel safe with us!
357 is owned by two gay guys, Luke and Ty, who have known each other for twenty years. Not, like most other venues which are owned by straight people interested only in the gay dollar! We are proudly Gay owned, managed and run! We built 357 as we could see a huge void in the market. Why didn't Sydney have a Sauna in the Central City Area! Did we have to go to Oxford St when all other major cities had them in town.So we were born. The owners passion has extended into every facet of 357 making it cruisy, s*xy, relaxing and safe. And very very clean! And very very welcoming. YOU WILL RECEIVE NO ATTITUDE FROM 357. If you are aged 18 or 80, smooth or hairy, 300kg or 50 kg, Black , White, Asian, Caucasian - whatever... you are welcome, and we believe there is someone for everyone! You will be someone's type at 357! We truly believe this! You will never see advertising for 357 with hot body's, arses, pecs etc. Its not what we stand for. Yes you will see very hot body's at 357, but as Australia's busiest venue we welcome you no matter what you look like! So put on a towel and cm join us!

Episode 7 is out now!
Over the 20+ years that 357 Sauna operated, the world of s*xual health changed dramatically.
In this episode, Ty and Luke talk about the evolution of HIV treatment, the arrival of PrEP, the importance of regular STI testing, and why the number of condoms handed out at 357 dropped from more than 300,000 a year to around 20,000.
It's an honest conversation about men's s*xual health, told through the experiences of people who watched those changes happen firsthand.
We also finish with two unforgettable stories from the 357 log books, including the tale of a serial locker thief who finally got caught in a very memorable way.

For over 20 years, Ty and Luke couldn't tell this story.
In Episode 6 of 357 S*x in the City, they reveal how major banks refused to support 357, despite it being a successful, legal business with a proven track record. It's a story about stigma, resilience and the fight to keep the doors open.
They also share one of the hardest chapters in 357's history, reflecting on the people who lost their lives at the venue and the lasting impact it had on everyone involved.
It's a more serious episode than usual, but one we're proud to share.
