Amazing facility. Great food, staff, wet and dry sauna however the cold plunge is never cold. For the last three Sundays the cold plunge was 70 degrees, 68 degrees and 62 degrees. That is not a cold plunge.Water off the tap from the City is colder. Please fix this like your other location Red Square. Other then that there is ample free parking and the staff is always very nice and accommodating. Still a 5 star review!

This place is truly a hidden gem! Simple design but wonderful. Nothing beats a cold plunge after time in one of the two saunas. Give it a shot and you wont regret it! Also, the food is great!

This place is AWESOME! The staff is friendly and very professional and the food is DELICIOUS! However, I do wish they would consider doing monthly memberships for the ones who like to go every week. But all-in-all, 5/5 for me!!!

Absolutely loved this place. Would go back. Theyre community oriented, have a great sense of humor, the saunas are hot and the plunge pools are cold. They have everything you need for a traditional experience or something more low-key

Been going to the Chicago Sweatlodge for over a year and it has not disappointed! 2 saunas, one dry and one wet. A cold plunge pool that helps restore your body after sweating. And the food is nothing short of amazing. Staff and crew is helpful and accommodating, love this place!

Wow! This place is incredible. They have a wet sauna and a dry sauna that are very hot. There is a cold pool to use afterward. Nice lounge area to watch TV. The food is very good. It was $38 to enter but well worth it.

Went for the first time today. I have to say, I had a great time. Staff is friendly and food is top notch. The saunas and cold plunge leave you feeling great! You can even drink there. I will definitely be back! Oh, and free wifi even let me get a little work done in between.

Please don’t come here. It’s not warm, comfortable, or welcoming. The food is not good at all and all of the staff are mean.This is sarcasm of course. It’s the best. I just don’t want the secret to be let out. This place is great.Old world style sauna. The people here are awesome. The staff rules. They will do whatever it takes to help you have a great experience.

If youre looking for a great day out in the heart of the city, youve got to check out Chicago Sweet Lodge. Its this amazing spot where you can really relax and forget about your worries.The dry room is super warm and makes you feel refreshed from head to toe. They also have this special treatment called platza that blends old-school and new-school spa methods. Its really cool and leaves you feeling like a new person. They even give you a top-notch scrub that makes your skin feel awesome.Now, the food at their restaurant is just as great. Every dish is super tasty and you can tell they know what theyre doing. Youve got to try the Bath House Salad—the dressing is legendary and has been a favorite since 1928.So, if you want a day full of relaxation and great food, Chicago Sweet Lodge is the place to go. Its not just a spot to visit; its a whole experience that you wont want to miss.

Title: Refreshing Experience at Sauna SweetlodgeI recently visited Sauna Sweetlodge and found it to be a clean and welcoming environment. While the food was average and not quite as impressive as it was five years ago, the overall experience was positive. Its important to note that guests should bring their own towels, as the ones provided -not “appropriate towel”. Despite this minor inconvenience, Sauna Sweetlodge stands out as a superior choice for those seeking a good heat experience in a calm atmosphere, especially when compared to other establishments in the same price range.

Review №22

This sauna is not in perfect condition, locker room is on the far side- people walking across all area with outside shoes and bring more dirt. Outside area is a great option to relax after sauna but it is smoking area so no joy to stay there. Average is not good sauna (I compared with huge amount of places I was before in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, PA etc.) but 5 starts to those guys because it is hard and low, close to not profitable business.

First very clean and also well operation business. The only draw back Is a number of men looking for male dates. I have nothing wrong If a man like a other man. But a friend who Is 22 years old and who works as a trash man pick up dumpsters 50-60 hours a week and goes In for a steam. And has 6-10 older guys hitting on him. For a phone number Is sad.

Review №25

Guys, this place is friggin awesome, check it out.Ultimate old school, apparently very traditional Russian/ Ukrainian, chill, relaxing place. Men only, but its not a gay bath house ; go elsewhere if youre looking for that.No frills, but clean and the staff are cool dudes. The perfect place to forget about daily stress, enjoy bonding with buddies, have some beer and food and chill.Other than the dining area where you need to cover up with a towel, the rest you can be completely naked or not, depending on your comfort, its about half and half. No judgment as far as I could tell.I was in town for a meeting and went solo for a couple of nights and felt like a local by the time I left. I love this Russian/ Ukrainian tradition. Wish we had this down south.

I have been living In the area for over a year now and I always walk past this spot with the dog. Decided to finally check it out and I was not disappointed what so ever. The customer service was excellent. The atmosphere was chill and calm and cool. You need a place to decompress and just let some stress out and also at an affordable price, come here. I will be back.Update: I have been coming here on a weekly basis now. Thanks. For all you men out there, this place will decompress you. Give it a shot. It’s amazingUpdate 2: if you plan to come here and hit on ppl, lemme tell you, you’re gonna get what you deserve right back if you keep playing around. We don’t play those games here. Have some respect for others. Just a fair warning.

My first time going to sauna/ bath house.. The place is very chill, relaxing. I feel great! The heat gets some getting used to but I will definately be back. I did not do the cold water plunge after the steam sauna but I did do the cold water bucket next to it. Whoah!!! I would have given 5 stars but my salad took almost an hour to be made. 4 1/2 stars if I could rate. Maybe the kitchen did not open at the time I ordered or there was a miscomunication. Hopefully it is an isolated incident. The salad was awesome. Poker chips, cards, chess and checker boards are available. I finally learned how to play chess and it was here where I received my lesson and played my first game. No better place to learn. Beer and drinks are readily available, Televisions for sports are everywhere!

Its such a great place. The food is very good (recommend the pelmeni), the kitchen staff are great, and there is a feeling of brotherhood for the regulars no matter what their backgrounds. I went weekly from 2009 until 2016 and still feel the place is special even though my visits are much less frequent now. Red Square Spa in Wicker Park is also very good.

This is a place to mellow down and just relax. The combination of the heat and cold water makes it delightful to me and help me fall as sleep once Im done with the therapy. I usually go with a few friends and we enjoy drinks and food as well. Did I mention that the food is delicious? You would not regret dinning in. The chicken soup is my favorite. I highly recommend it to any man in search of a relaxing time after a long week at work. Youll be glad you did I promise.

Although my previous visit was not too thrilling, I have changed my opinion after my last visit.Place was very clean, well managed and welcoming. Both Sauna rooms have been updated, and ovens have been fixed. It produced enough heat for sauna loversI went there in the middle of week at night and there was not too may people.Food menu was outstanding as always, although a bit pricey. But you would see the same anywhere when you go out. So, no surprises there.Staff was attentive and kept place in good shape through out my visit.I wish there was a bit more parking space because when busy, one might need to find space on the street, but again nothing new for Chicagoans.

Hot sauna, steam sauna and a cold pool. A pretty good place to spend a day watching TV, eating food, drinking beer and sweating. I like King Spa better for all the different options but you cant beat this closer to where I live. I could spend 24 hours in King Spa. I could probably spend about 6 at the sweat lodge.

We discovered this place a few years ago and have been going ever since. Its a great place to relax and unwind after a long day at work or any chilly day for that matter. Super clean facility with genuinely friendly customers always willing to strike up a conversation. Staff is very helpful. Unlike the Korean Spas, the Russian Banya is a very chatty, social affair. Great with friends. Do try the food; the restaurant is superb. We especially like the buffalo chicken fingers and anything with grilled chicken (salads, kabobs (Shashlik), a decent selection of American and Russian foods, beer and vodka. Good soups too. I wish they would add a selection of wines and sparkling to the menu. Overall, a great experience.

A unique experience, youll either love the Russian & Turkish Baths and become one of the regulars from all walks of life who share the bond of going there, or youll never want to come back. This place offers two different saunas as well as an ice cold pool, restaurant, lounge area with chairs and recliners. Great place for a platza massage and deep relaxation.

Review №49

Fantastic experience. I went on a very cold night and left literally warmed to my core. I drove home on my scooter and felt like it was a nice spring evening. Everyone is very considerate. You can be as nude as you want, or you can wear the little kilt they give you. (You HAVE to wear the kilt in the dining area but the sauna sections and elsewhere are as you please.) The ONLY downside (if any) is there is no hot tub. Two saunas, a cold pool to jump in between saunas, a pair of cold water showers and then normal showers. Also a chill sitting area to hang out in, as well as an outdoor patio that I imagine is great when its not January. And for $35 well worth the price!

$35 to get in. Men only. 2 large saunas : wet and dry, small ice water pool, large relax area with 6 recliners. Massage on demand (paid separately). Surprisingly good restaurant (eastern European and American food): fish soup is amazing, salads and meats are great. Good bear selection including Ukrainian and Russian beers. Overall great place and atmosphere. Can get overcrowded.

Just the best choice quality and a pricewise. It was my best experience in a Russian public bath house. The place does not have anything in common with drinking vodka and having a party, it is about having a healthy procedures and relaxation. I was there in the morning just after they were opened and with a few customers saunas were already hot. Undoubtedly highly recommended to visit while you are in Chicago.

As a native Russian I can tell you that everything there feels as close to the Motherland as it can get. The food tastes authentic and is absolutely delicious.

It’s a good spot, the trick is to know when it’s not packed. Otherwise, the dry sauna is a pique heat, while the wet is perfect.I should say the cold water shower is the coldest I’ve experienced in the area and I cannot recommend it enough.The food is alright but the chebureki could be less greasy, but hey, that’s the nature of that food.

I have been going here since 2009 and it is always an amazing experience. It is a place where I can basically take a vacation day a couple of miles from my house! My only issue is my last visit this past tuesday, instead of having Jazz music like they usually do, they were playing some pop music that really killed the vibe of the place. I hope this was just a one time thing and that the station was set wrong.

Ideally sauna should be done as a spiritual practice, if not than at least as a professional sport.For me sauna is more than sport, and Sweat lodge is the best sauna in Chicago area, it has the coldest plunge and the most balanced temperature/humidity ratio in sauna room. Mike, the manager, goes above and beyond to make it a great experience each time. We come here year round weekly since 2017.

As a Russian who grew up enjoying the Banya or the Russian sauna I can vouch that this place is great. I have been coming here since they have opened.

The Sweatlodge is a fantastic place to get together with friends, or just to treat yourself. I make a point to go here whenever Im back in Chicago.Wet and Dry sauna options. Wet sauna is my favorite and has several faucets for filling the cold water buckets to pour over yourself (best feeling ever). Full size private locker, showers, food and a large beer selection. TVs for the sports crowd, socializing area. The food is excellent!!! Play some chess while you wait for it or have a smoke out back in the enclosed patio. There is also a private massage room for an additional cost.

Wow, wasnt expecting this kind of intense Eastern European experience! I was thinking it was going to be just a couple of saunas (which I guess it is). But theres something unique about this experience that completely removes you from the city and stresses of life. Its quite refreshing and rejuvenating.Im so glad we tried the food! I wasnt expecting anything all that great from an old world sweatlodge, but their chicken kebabs and chicken soup were incredible! Definitely an old world recipe that stand the test of time.

Review №77

Authentic dry and wet saunas - hotter than anything at the gym. Great food, unlimited icewater, and a sitting room so you can relax and watch TV to cool off. Theres a cold dip pool- always have a quick dip to cool off after the sauna! What more can you say?Theyll even provide soap if you want a real bath, and three kinds of massage. Theres deep tissue massage (walk-in or appointment). In the Russian sauna a professional will beat you down with a banya broom (its a real thing), and in the Turkish bath they have a seaweed broom (which is more for gentle cleaning).Great facilities are cleaned regularly. Kitchen is amazing. They have a sense of humor too. Theres a sign up front that says the only sexual activity youre going to get inside is someone shoving a boot up your behind as they kick you out. This is a place to unwind and recharge, so please dont bring your loud friends and make a big scene unless its because of how good the food is.

The place is very clean, lots of Russian being spoken and you can feel a little bit like an interloper, however I always feel refreshed and relaxed leaving this place.

This was a GREAT place to get a massage. But Bill is no longer there, and they dont have a regular massage therapist? How in the hell can that possibly be??? From 5 stars to 2.......

Very sad place, the place is a razvalina, they put some bars to hold the wall together, not safe for sure, anybody inspect this place for safety? Food very bad, as a russian i think the food is coming from expired cans, mainly fish

Easy to miss this place but its legit. Dry sauna, steam sauna, and cold pool are the main attractions. Food is great here too.

Как для Америки, то неплохо. Но самое прекрасное это рыбный суп, только ради этого стоит зайти сюда.(Translated by Google)As for America, this is not bad. But the best thing is the fish soup, it’s worth coming here just for that.
