With the exception of the Historic Baths in Istanbul (which aren't really gay anyway) I find male saunas a touch drab. Not the 945. Set in a colonial style town-house, a touch of jazz coupled with sweet smelling lemons in the salsa decorated spaces is to be found. The shady outdoor poolside terrace is where you can escape the oven temperatures of the city. It's a bliss. If you're a Spanish speaker then the locals are more than willing to have a chat and a beer, below the stars. The house actively promotes safe sex.

An iconic building in downtown.
Paulista Grill is heaven for those who like BBQ and hell for those with high cholesterol.
It is part of a Brazilian chain. They offer ample premises and private rooms and, of course, buffet style BBQ.
The buffet has different kinds of salads, rice, pasta and cuts of meats. Also includes dessert!
Less than £5 or USD$10 per person.
San Martin and Mariscal Lopez
