Steamworks Baths Berkeley

Nice spot with a fun atmosphere and fairly priced. The crowd is mixed, and many people seem to enjoy the vibe. Personally, I value strong privacy practices when choosing venues. I prefer transparency around how IDs are handled, who has access to personal information, and how long data is retained. That’s something I consider when deciding where to go.

Excellent atmosphere, excellent attention (all the guys) a good plan to spend a pleasant and relaxing time, has a heated pool, hot and cold water shower, several bathrooms, dry sauna and wet sauna, an excellent smell of eucalyptus, if you come to San Francisco do not miss it. $10 for a month’s membership $24 membership for 6 months. VIP from $120 Lockers $24 Secure parking in the surroundings and the lockers are also safe but if you prefer they have safes at reception at no extra cost. ✨✨✨✨✨

Its nice to go to à place and feel comfortable enjoying others,getting into a hottub and meeting new friends. Lots of rooms and lockers available. Staff has been wonderful this year. I enjoy this place more than other bathhouses i have visited. Nice dark play room.

2/21/26- Bear Night 5⭐ Lots of hairy men and some admirers. Bears, cubs, muscle bears, and daddy bears. Since its a Bear theme, there isn't much of that, "Your not my type" attitude from others. So it is a lot of fun if you are part of the bear community. Most of the action is in the back of the club. 5⭐ Facility is always clean and you can see employees cleaning and checking areas that might need to be cleaned. Showers, steamroom, several bathrooms, and large hot tub/spa. Several sizes of private rooms and plenty of lockers. Condoms provided for free, but you now have to bring your own lube. There is a vending machine with lube, head cleaner, steamwork labeled jocks, rings, and hose for douching. 3⭐ Several vending machines with drinks, snacks, and sandwiches. Unfortunately on this night, the front drink machine was nearly empty. 1⭐ On bear nights, it's listed that there would be food. I only saw 2 boxes of pizza and a 1 drink dispenser. Both were gone/empty after about an hour. 5⭐ Location can be reached buy public transportation. BART and AC Transit and a short walk from and to the bus stop. 3⭐ Parking lot has limited spaces otherwise its street parking. Street parking can be difficult due to several bars, restaurants, other business, andresidential buildings. 3⭐ Checking in is easy. But depending on event, time of day, and day of the week there can be lines out the door.

I'm 41yo and just went here; my 1st bathouse (ever), a couple weeks ago. My friend/buddy/lover took me. We got all private room and enjoyed ourselves. A romantic in a bathouse?! It wasn't my style I really, but I can't say it's my once & only try. Under different circumstances, I may try again! 😈

I been coming here for the last 10+ years and never have disappointed me. It’s my sanctuary in where I can get away from the craziness of the world. Great place to be especially on a Friday night 😉

I was looking forward to coming here but it was a disappointing experience. The guy who checked me in wasn’t very helpful and the other clientele there were rude and stuck up. Im older and heavier and while there I was the target of rude comments about my body. Nobody is perfect. I feel sorry for the people who made such comments for it’s a glaring sign of their insecurity. Enjoy your freedom to express your gay American selves. In some parts of the world this is a dream, and in those parts of the world one is simply told no thanks if theres no attraction. I hadn’t even opened my moth or had a chance to ogle.
