About Chicago Sweatlodge
The Chicago Sweatlodge offers a traditional sauna experience in a clean and welcoming environment. The sauna is hot, and the cold plunge is icy, providing a refreshing contrast. This community-oriented spot is a great place to relax and unwind, with amenities like a food bar and massage services. Guests can feel comfortable being themselves in this judgment-free zone. Open on Saturdays starting at 7 AM, it's a perfect way to start the weekend. However, recent reviews suggest some areas for improvement. Maintenance of the facilities, such as the shower water pressure and temperature controls, needs attention. The back patio has become an issue, with concerns about smoking and the overall cleanliness. The staff's presence in maintaining the cleanliness of the floor has also been noted as lacking. Despite these concerns, the facility is still praised for its simple design, wonderful saunas, and great food. The staff is also commended for their friendliness and accommodating nature. The cold plunge temperature is an ongoing issue, and the owners are encouraged to address it, as it is an integral part of the sauna experience.
Nice place to come by chill & relax
First time doing something like this. Glad I went with friends because I would have been a bit lost, but the sauna/cold plunge was awesome and the Ukrainian salad I had afterwards was peak. Will definitely go again next time I’m in Chicago.
When you really want to experience a true Russian and Turkish style bania this is the best place around. Fantastic heat, cold plunge pool and amazing food from the kitchen
