Great place

I've seen most all of them and this one is one of the best. Plenty of fun, while still clean.

Fond memories

One of the best bath houses I've been to. Rivals some of the spots in Brazil (except there are no Brazilians!) Clean, spacious, many different activities. Love the supersized hot pool (too big to call a hot tub!) I will visit again the next time I'm in Chicago.

Best Bathhouse

I have been to bathhouses in other cities and I've got to say this is one of the best ones I have ever been to. This place is big and has plenty of room to move around. I definitely will be back to this place the next time that I visit Chicago

Big, clean, comfortable.

This place is pretty big compared to others. There are three maze sections of varying size with a ton of glory holes - way too many in my opinion. The hot tub and steam room had a really cool layout with a bunch of nooks and spots to hang out in. Hot tub was pretty dark though and with chest high water so you wouldn't know what you're getting into. Dry sauna wasn't even on when i was there, and hot tub / wet sauna were completely empty of people. The gym on the third floor is a legit gym with no posted rules of attire - anyone could go in. All the spaces where clean and staff kept it that way through the night. Staff was friendly and non-invasive. The guys were a relatively large mix - with a definite majority on over weight middle aged men. That's pretty much the case at every bath house I've been to, but these guys weren't groping or following me around which was cool. Also the younger guys weren't all tweaked out like some places. All in all this is probably my favorite bath house I've been to on travels - clean, comfortable, big, and fun Only down side was that I had to leave early, 2am for a flight in the morning.
