About this place Steamworks Baths Berkeley

Steamworks Berkeley is a men-only gay bathhouse on Fourth Street in West Berkeley, part of the Steamworks group that also runs baths in Chicago, Seattle and Vancouver. Entry is for men 18 and over, and you pay for either a locker or a private room. Inside are the usual bathhouse basics: steam, showers, lounge space and rooms for meeting other men. It is open around the clock, so the crowd shifts a lot by hour. Late nights and weekends are busiest, and weekday afternoons are quieter. Bring photo ID. Condoms and lube are generally available at the desk. Check the website for current room rates and any member deals before you go.

I loved going here for years but last Saturday I went to the Bear event and rented a room. On the way home I noticed bug bites all over my legs. I was eaten alive at steamworks and usually trust them to keep the place clean. I wasted my money buying a 6 month membership and really regret going there.

Honestly overall pretty happy with the place. Theres 4 bathrooms but only 3 cleaning stations. They can get backed up and you might need to wait. Not sure why the 4th isn’t fixed but it hasn’t worked in a long long time. With the prices we pay, it should be fixed.
