Steamworks Chicago

Über diesen Ort Steamworks Chicago

Steamworks Chicago is the best-equipped gay sauna in the Midwest and one of the most prominent in North America — part of the international Steamworks chain that also operates in Berlin, Vancouver, and other cities. The Chicago facility is located on Halsted Street in Boystown, placing it in the geographical heart of the city's gay scene and making it easily accessible as part of an evening that might also include Sidetrack, Hydrate, or Roscoe's. The facilities are comprehensive: a heated pool, steam room, Finnish dry sauna, gym, multiple darkroom areas, private cabins available by rental, locker room, and a lounge. The 24-hour operation makes Steamworks the consistent late-night option — the bathhouse that operates when the bars close and that serves the full range of the Chicago gay male community from afternoon cruisers to post-club visitors in the early morning. Entry fees are standard for a North American bathhouse; cabin rental is available at premium over the locker rate. The Halsted Street location, proximity to the Belmont L station, and the quality of the facilities combine to make Steamworks Chicago the default answer for gay male visitors to the city who are looking for a sauna.
