Side Yard Social

Coming soon: Side Yard Social is expected to open in early 2027. The details below come from its website and may change before opening.

Side Yard Social calls itself Bloomington’s first outdoor sauna club, with a sauna, a cold plunge and a social setting at 402 W. 6th St. Plans include two traditional Finnish saunas, a cold plunge and open-air space to cool off, plus showers, lockers, changing rooms and a lounge inside.

Visits are 60-minute sessions with no instructor, and you move between heat and cold at your own pace. Swimsuits or athletic wear are required. Side Yard Social plans to sell monthly memberships, single-session passes and pass packs, and it is taking sign-ups for founding memberships now, with no charge until it opens. See its website for current pricing.
