IMPRESSIVE!
Clean, modern, well-managed, civilized, sex friendly place. All types of guys with healthy sexual appetites ready to play. Very few with attitude. Most importantly, I didn't see too many tweaking out of their minds - a serious turn off to me. Every gay man who loves sex and is in Chicago should check this place out. But, please, leave your moral judgments and attitudes out the door and have a blast! I'm just an average guy and I was drained many times until I couldn't do Any more. What a nice experience!
Steamworks is the best bathhouse chain in USA
This is my second favorite bathhouse in the US, right behind the Steamworks in Berkeley. This place is located right in the heart of the gay area of Chicago (Boy's Town) so right after the bars close it can get packed, 3 floors plus play area and suck pit that's on video on a closed channel on the room tv's! Best streamroom I've ever seen and a chest high jacuzzi with perfect nooks to play in :).
o wow!

I WILL SAY ILL GO AGAIN BECAUSE IM THINKING IT WAS JUST THE GUYS AND NOT ME. WHO KNOWS
An objective viewpoint
Just visited Steamworks in Chicago on Friday, June 18 and Sat June 20, 2010. Spent 8 hours there each night. The place is located on a vibrant, narrow, two way street in an historic commercial and residential area. The area appeared well kept, mostly white and upscale. Steamworks itself was mostly inconspicuous on the exterior. Inside, there are 3 floors. The first floor has an irregularly designed wet area, including a steam maze. Most of the activity occurs on the second and third floors, where there are many private rooms, multiple glory hole areas and an over abundance of mirrors everywhere, which lend the place a "fun house" feel. There were plenty of men there. About 1/3 were minorities - black, hispanic and Asian. Almost everyone had an average build and almost everyone seemed to be into oral exclusively. Thus, being an eager, buff bottom, I didn't make much headway. Not that I'm that selective, but I couldn't get anyone to fuck me in the glory booths all through Saturday night. There are new condoms in the booths, and in many places scattered throughout the place, but this didn't seem to increase anyone's interest in fucking. Overall, the place is clean, dimly lit and a maze of narrow hallways and glory hole areas. Throbbing, generic music can be heard nonstop. If you have an average build and are into oral, this is probably a great place for you. I was hoping to see more clean cut, worked, professional types, but I didn't.
