Best sauna place in the city, don’t expect luxurious amenities, but everything works and the saunas are great, cold plunge pool amazing, but the food is amazing. Just a great place to spend a fee hours weekly.
Great banya with good old Soviet and modern food. Love pelemeni, chebureki, pickles and a whole chicken dish is to die for. Good selection at the bar, they even have my favorite Baltica beer. Friendly staff, great massages for post workout and overall good crowd there, so I always make sure to visit whenever I am in Chicago.
A local friend recommended this spot to me, I called for an appointment one day in advance and booked a facial and massage for the time of my choosing. Both services were EXCELLENT, the facial was so professional and a true skincare facial with extractions, infrared, etc. (not just one where they later on a million creams). Massage was amazing and attentive. I didn't sauna but everything looked clean and cozy, this will definitely become my spot for affordable treatments when I'm in Chicago!
Would not recommend this place specifically for massages. My partner and I got a couples massage and the woman who did mine was really terrible. I asked her twice for more pressure, and she was very inconsistent with it. Both masseuse’s were using LOTION instead of massage oil and they paused the massage literally every 30 seconds to grab more lotion. I’ve never experienced that before and it was incredibly frustrating. I had asked for the masseuse to work out the knots in my upper back and she chose to use only her fingers to move the knots around, not her elbow or any part of her forearm. It was a very useless massage that we got to pay $225 for.
Best spa I’ve found and have been going for years! Very fair pricing, clean facilities, unique European vibe, friendly staff, good food and drinks that can be delivered to the sauna itself! Well worth a day trip here.
Very disappointing experience at red square Bath in Chicago. The atmosphere was dominated by loud russian music that felt completely inappropriate given the current global climate. When we politely asked for adjustments, we were ignored. The bartender (beard and glasses) chose to dismiss our request and walk away to wash dishes rather than engage professionally. Customer service was extremely poor, the attitude was dismissive, and the overall cleanliness raised concerns. The space did not feel well maintained, and basic hospitality standards seemed to be lacking. Chicago deserves better than businesses that show disregard for guests and operate with such low professionalism. Very outdated soviet approach
I came with my mom, grandma, and sister on a Friday morning so there were only like 2 other people there. They provide towels and robes as well as slippers. We only went in for the hot tub and sauna so it was only $45. The receptionist was very friendly as well.
