Steamworks Ottawa

عن هذا المكان Steamworks Ottawa

Steamworks Ottawa is the capital city's primary gay bathhouse and part of the international Steamworks chain that also operates in Toronto, Chicago, Berlin, and Vancouver. The Bank Street location — directly in the heart of Ottawa's gay village — makes it the most conveniently situated bathhouse relative to the bar strip of any Steamworks facility; you can walk from Wilde's or the Lookout Bar to the bathhouse in minutes, and back again. The facility is equipped to the Steamworks standard: steam rooms, dry sauna, private cabins available by rental, darkroom areas, a gym, locker room, and the 24-hour operation that defines the chain's model. In a city the size of Ottawa, a well-equipped bathhouse on the main gay strip is a significant community asset — the alternative for gay male visitors is a drive to Montreal or Toronto. The Bank Street location has made Steamworks Ottawa a genuine neighbourhood institution, open to the full range of the Ottawa gay male community from late-afternoon regulars to post-bar visitors arriving after last call. Entry pricing follows the standard Steamworks scale; cabin rental is available at premium over the locker rate. For gay male visitors to Ottawa, particularly those attending Capital Pride, Steamworks on Bank Street is the default answer.
