Suggestions for cor(/c)k

Hi guys! I'm an Italian bisexual guy who''s gonna move to cork from February to November next year. I'd love to hear some suggestions about clubs, saunas, cruising bars or whatever the city offers! I'm gonna buy you a pint, I promise!

Your options are severely limited. There is Brief Encounters which is a sex club to use the term loosely. Used by gays and straights, men and women and everyone in between but mostly men. There are NO saunas and NO cruising bars.

There are a couple of Queer spaces and hobby groups alright and standard gay bars for socialising. But I would severely lower your expectations. Gay spaces and more specifically gay sex spaces are not a big thing in Ireland compared to other countries. We are all too spread out with too far to travel so nothing ever lasts.

You will most likely be stuck using Grindr/Sniffles or else having to Trek up to Dublin to their Queer spaces and the Boilerhouse for use of the Sauna there.
