The Australian 'Men's Shed' is tagged as

     amenity=community_centre
     community_centre:for=man
     brand=Men's Shed

See 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-October/013054.html

Not quite the same thing, intended for retired men as a social contact 
with manual skills activities. See https://mensshed.org/what-is-a-mens-shed/

They do occupy either the whole building (typically) or at least part of 
it.
