CHICAGO BATH HOUSE

“Great banya with good old Soviet and modern food.”

Great banya with good old Soviet and modern food. Love pelemeni, chebureki, pickles and a whole chicken dish is to die for. Good selection at the bar, they even have my favorite Baltica beer. Friendly staff, great massages for post workout and overall good crowd there, so I always make sure to visit whenever I am in Chicago.

Best sauna place in the city, don’t expect luxurious amenities, but everything works and the saunas are great, cold plunge pool amazing, but the food is amazing. Just a great place to spend a fee hours weekly.

“My go-to comfort spot in Chicago.”

My go-to comfort spot in Chicago! An amazing, super-hot sauna, you won’t find anything like it at your typical gym or any fancy spa. Delicious food, friendly staff, and not a single issue in all the times I’ve been there over the past three years. Definitely 5 out of 5.

“A great place to relax on your day off in the sauna.”

A great place to relax on your day off in the sauna. I used the services of a massage therapist, having previously signed up through the front desk. As well as the cuisine of this place is a delight, lamb chompes with mashed potatoes, salo, borsh, shawarma makes me remember this place with special warmth. I'm glad to be back here.

“This bathhouse is wonderful in every way.”

This bathhouse is wonderful in every way. exactly what is needed. There is everything you might need in a bathhouse, including a sauna with wet steam and a steam room with dry steam. There is also a pool with hot water and, of course, a pool with ice water, in the literal sense of the word, the water is so ice cold that I will compare this water with the water in an ice hole, it’s very cool. There is also a section with a massage table. There are also sun loungers where you can take a nap. I was in this bathhouse during the day at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and at that time there were practically no people. I recommend everyone to go to this bathhouse, I stayed in

“During my many adventures, few places have captured my heart and senses quite like the Chicago Bath House.”

During my many adventures, few places have captured my heart and senses quite like the Chicago Bath House. Tucked away in the bustling heart of the city, this haven of relaxation and luxury felt like stepping into another world, where every worry melted away. The intensity of warmth from their dry room enveloped me, rejuvenating every inch of my being, while the steam room provided a gentle and therapeutic embrace, reminiscent of timeless, traditional saunas I'd read about. Among the myriad of treatments available, the 'platza' stood out for me. This unique leaf ritual, blending age-old traditions with modern spa techniques, was nothing short of invigorating. Following this, a thorough scrub and facial left my skin glowing and my spirit uplifted. But the experience didn't end there. The in-house restaurant at the Chicago Bath House is a culinary gem. Every bite was a testament to craftsmanship and a deep passion for flavors, making it an equally memorable part of my visit. For anyone seeking an immersive day where spa luxury meets culinary delight, I cannot recommend the Chicago Bath House enough. It's not just a place but an emotion, a journey, and a definite five-star experience.

“Most relaxing, great value of services for price.”

Most relaxing, great value of services for price. Got the scrub + did the unisex sauna followed by a large meal! I suggest trying the beets, as well as the pierogies (savory + sweet). The full body scrub was excellent, the providers were very friendly and accommodating, you will leave super full + moisturized/exfoliated.

“Great spot, really solid.”

Great spot, really solid. The spa service is impossible to beat. The amenities are fantastic (saunas, cold plunge, warm pool with jets, amazing staff, and a restaurant set up like train cars). I cannot recommend this place enough.

“I love this place.”

I love this place. It’s literally brings me home 💕 The prices are good for all the services and restaurant menu, also drinks 👍🏼 Almost all my friends enjoyed it there. The treatment, the heat, food and service. We go there almost every week and can’t get enough of it 😄 Of course there is never limit to be better and better. So what I think could make this place even more lovely is maybe to be more flexible with closing hours. Because when you get relaxed it is harder to keep track of time. So maybe having “last call” kinda thing would make it work better with customers. Also being able to do treatment in the shared room because lately we’ve been told that it’s not possible. Otherwise put a sign that you can not do treatment in the shared area sauna. Also could be amazing to have more varieties of herbal teas and also more varieties for dried fish. And would be great if place can bring back old footage of Russian train stations in the TVs in the restaurant. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you, Sincerely yours grateful customer.
