Really loved the place didn’t disappoint at all. Wish could have stayed till closing to truly enjoy all the hot men cause i went to early.

Owner/manager patronized the niche crowd there for Bear Day with baby talk. Made a point to remind them to wear their masks (comparing them to superheroes LOL). The regular gym/muscle guys were all walking around without them on. Theyre doing just enough public health to keep from shutting down again so I would think they would appreciate any money, even if its coming from fat guys.

As I told the staff thank you for providing an environment where where it felt safe to enjoy myself to the Max. This is the 1st time Ive been to the Steamworks and actually and enjoyed myself more than words can explain!!

I have a question? Are you accepting all races? I’m asian. I hope there’s no hate here. Thank you.

Great place! The best!! Not sure what they’re waiting on to reopen. This is a democrat state, so they’re obviously government ran. Guess just waiting till the “MAN” says it’s ok.

Always a delight. Clean, courteous staff, great special events. Cant wait for them to reopen.

Great people who work here! Welcome back!

Amazing place Chicago the best 👌🏿

I have some good fun here

Good RiddensI went to Steamworks 2xEach time the staff was Rude and Disrespectful.

Love this place, just curious when y’all are going to be reopening?

Not African-American friendlyWas asked “randomly” for vaccination card…

What is not open in steamworks as of today?

Try adding on your website no bag so people are informed verses showing up and being told no….

My favorite place on earth, and I’ve been to Disney world

Can I bring my gf here???

I wish a lot of companies show the compassion for their customers like you do

Went yesterday afternoon and had a great time! It was busy with all sorts of men there looking to play. I had fun with several of them. The facilities are very nice! Much nicer than other bathhouses I’ve been to. When I return to Chicago I’ll definitely come back to Steamworks. I also worked out in the weight room before playing, and the equipment is top notch and well maintained. I wish there were more of these bathhouses around the country.

I love going here always a good time. What happen to the web site? When you think you might be able to open back up?

Dear Steamworks, havent been here yet but looking forward to trying you guys out. B4 you write a nice comment back to a negative review you should look at the persons history. I did and saw 18 one Star reviews on a certain reviewer. I wouldve just told the guy that his negative review means NOTHING because he is a negative PERSON. I digress. BTW people, it never the bar or bathhouse fault you cant get a date. Happy hunting!!!

Great place to unwine, relax & enjoy the men

Great location and very clean. I’ve been to bathhouses in Germany and in Holland and to Spa Excess in Toronto. The only thing missing here is a Bar and drink charged to your locker number. I think instead of a DJ Booth a bar would be more profitable. Other than that hot guys go here and I would come again.

The facility itself is nice, and experiences are either boring or really amazing--depends on the night. However, two workers (that I have encountered over the past year) at check in, one of which seems to be the boss, are incredibly rude. If you do anything even remotely small that they dont like, theyll lash out. It happened to me once and Ive seen it happen to other guys in line. A friendly welcome is not always offered. They definitely need nicer management.

We cant wait to experience this nice and entertaining place . Please open soon.

I literally hope y’all open by the 10th of July . I really enjoyed this place went a year ago and now I’m bringing my friends to Chicago in 2 weeks! 5 stars across the board very clean and NICE staff.

I’ve heard great things from this place, me and a friend still wishing to go. I’m wondering are you guys open yet? Me and him are wondering???

Being a first time customer I didn’t know what to expect. However, admits all the negative reviews I had read prior to my visit I was pleasantly surprised.Jonathan was extremely professional and made sure that I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. I was impressed by his customer service skills. As well as his presentation. Thanks again Jonathan.

Nice place. Loved the wet area. I am very shy, but guys treated me nice. The workers were friendly and told me not to worry about anything. All shapes, races, and sizes go. Very clean

Are woman allowed here ?

Ive been to the Seattle location and worked in the Vancouver one briefly. This one is by far the best of the three had an awesome time here and wish Id had more time to explore. The built in hot tub was awesome with all the little alcoves to sit in and relax ... Excellent. Very clean and staff do a great job of maintaining the washrooms and wet areas.

As a first timer today. I found staff to be pretty welcoming. Also, the experience is great. Pretty safe if you ask me.

So Ive been coming since August 2019 & love this place ever since thenAll staff are really nice & friendlyPlace is also always clean & havent 1 issueNormally go every 1 to 3 weeks maybe twice an week if up to it but its little far coming from Northwest Suburbs takes an hour by train/bus

This is a well run, respectable place (in relation to what guys go there to do). Clean, friendly, professional. I loved the hot tub. I highly recommend walking around and seeing the place before making eye contact. Wet and dry saunas too. Its worth stopping even if you just want to relax.Aside from that the clientele was all ages shapes and sizes. Definitely should be able to find something you like to play with there and I was there on a Monday morning and Wednesday evening. Generally not prime time cruising, but the place had good numbers in attendance. Guess it helps to be in a big city like Chicago.Thanks for a wonderful visit! Will definitely be back when visiting the area.

One of my many favorite places in Chicago. I used to frequent it when I lived in Boystown. B4 the baby strollers n str8s came back. Then it was andersonville . But always returned to steamWorks. Look forward to revisiting this summer

I love this place!

Ive been going to this place back when it was called, The Unicorn, so Im unbiased in my former love for the place. Well on Sunday that love ended after their employee Alfonzo was rude and aggressive with me. I checked out by him and walked out the first set of doors then I saw a poster by the exit door showing the performers that were going to be there for Market Days and snapped a pic. Alfonzo bangs on the glass and yells delete that pic, I said or what? He replies, Or youll be 86d from the club for good. I say thats fine, then he calls me a Fat B*tch and walks back to the front. I stand there in shock for a moment that an employee would curse at me and call me names over taking a picture of a damn poster. I left feedback on their website and no response, Im not interested in going back. As I can see this place is run by rude people based on the bad reviews. It was a fun place, but treating customers like this is unacceptable.

0 stars if I could. I explicitly heard them comment to each other about the items in my book bag and ridiculed me. They were extremely rude and impatient with me. Customer service never ceases to amaze me with this place. It’s so awful! Makes you not even want to go in anymore. Such a shame because it really is a fun place to go to. Management..... fix your employees.

Rude staff, mean, insolent. Refused entrance and accused of being drunk. Hadnt had any alcohol in over 24 hours. Apparently fire marshal had just raided the place for being over capacity. They had to kick everyone out and let everyone in over again. By the time I got there I guess they had run fresh out of common decency and civility. Bad business practices and poor capacity management are no excuse to be so rude and mean. All the other 1 star review nailed it. Poor management failing at customer service miserably. Your time and money are better spent elsewhere, where your business might be appreciated and respected. I may be a professional hustler, but at least I know what professional courtesy and good manners are.

Unbelievable. They do not admit people for no reason. Staff rude especially tonight at 7 pm the receptionist was horrible. He was like a policeman . Not even in prison would they treat you that way. Is this the way to treat overseas visitors? I m shocked. I sent an email. I m waiting for a reply from the ownership.

I went for the first time,really was surprised on how clean it was. Had no problem getting attention, just kept the door open while laying on my stomach. Stayed there for 4-5 hours,great experience, will do it again and spread the news,great job guys ,thank-you:)

My first time at Steamworks was Tuesday night. I had avoided it for too many years. I finally go and I am so glad. I will be returning. I need to experience a weekend . I told the clerk I was a newbie and he was a very nice helpful guy. He gave me a welcome kit, and took care of me. The music was pretty incredible, the place was clean, the men diverse. Without giving details, I got what I came for and more.

Very nice place clean and friendly patrons were also very friendly no pressure

Terrible service. I was denied entry because of my prescription bottle of Descovy for PrEP. Apparently it is their policy discourage proper adherence to antiretrovirals.I used to love this place. Now, seeing their apparent disdain of healthcare that prevents the spread of HIV, I won’t be returning.

Always great clean fun .

When are you opening? When you look up you up on google It says you’re open. Though the website is down

CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RESPECT PEOPLE.I visited steam works last night. While standing in line I seen the staff literally being rude to people waiting to get in. I brought a friend with me and was paying for his way to get in. I paid for myself first and then said that I was paying for my friend. The representative flipped out - literally queened out and made me go inside and made me give my credit card to my friend and wait. He was a total “ ASS”

I always have a great time here when I visit Boystown/Belmont. Allegedly. :)Friendly staff and relatively clean facilities.Very easy to find, too!Reasonable locker rates.

Went for my first visit and it was great. The staff was professional but friendly. The Facility was well maintained and the cleaning staff was about consistently ensuring things were clean. The thing I found amazing about this place was the full gym that would be any gym bunnies wet dreams. Literally probably never gets used and it is a beautiful gym. I was there for a few hours, saw some fun things. Would definitely go back.

I wish they would open like steamworks in Seattle :(

I always wanted to attend a Bears event! It was incredible! The Bears that I got to play with had very nice sized cocks! I wish I could travel every fourth week to Steam Works!

So I went to check in and they told me to come back (along with 2 other people) because they thought our eyes were red as n we had been drinking! I had two glasses of wine for dinner. Amazing

Brilliant. I hope it never closes. That being said Im glad Ive lived to tell the stories from there. Others have not been so lucky.

I’m glad I wasn’t allowed in, I’m never spending another dollar in this place. Apparently you can have any drinks at All. I have been in there wasted at times and I was allowed in. The guy asked me, have you been drinking?! Duh! I’m in boys town where people drink and have a good time.

I had avoided this place for years because of all the negative stigma associated to a bathhouse. After going my first time I really liked the place. The atmosphere was not at all what I expected. Theres so many things to do from simply relaxing, to working out, or just simple fun. Theres so many different type of men that go aswell. Men that would appeal to all, we all have different taste. Very clean place. Men are normally respectful when you say no. Staff is very nice. Make sure to stop by and check this place out!!!

The place is clean and fun. Steam room and jacuzzi are just great. And so were the men.

Nice friendly staff. The place is clean and the staff do random walks to ensure safety. It a good place to get off and go with no drama.

Huge bath house in boystown. It is huge with over four floors with private rooms, dark rooms, mazes and a large jacuzzi and steam room. It’s pretty reasonably priced to get it. Weekends are busy. Went over market days which was packed with a lot of hot guys. Then went on a Sunday on a quiets weekend and it was pretty quiet. The place is kept pretty clean and there are vending machines woth drinks and lube.

The staff here are rude as hell. They cant maintain a pleasant attitude for a whole 40 seconds to check you in. The place pretty clean and fun once you get past the trolls at behind the front desk. Upon checking out they just slide your stuff at you full speed so flies to the ground, the guy was gone in a split second not even noticing. If you decide to go here, dont let them kill your mood, they are just miserable people.

Never met a place with such rude staff both times I went too. Almost turned around and left before getting checked in. They’re super slow as well. 2 stars just for the environment (after the staff desk). Good luck y’all!

It’s a great clean place that’s to have fun and relieve some stress lol. However, the staff is so unfriendly !!! In addition, I called to see when does my membership expire so I won’t have to travel and waste my gas and was told they can’t tell me that over the phone, definitely not accommodating.

I need this place open please

My first time visiting SteamWorks was in 2006 for Market Days, now that I live closer I go more often.The staff is friendly professional and whether you are there for a few hours or a whole day, its a great place to play.The grotto style hot tub is better than any of the other bathhouses I have been too. The guys that cum here are nice and respectful. I highly recommend checking this place out if youre in the Chicago Boystown Area. Will be going back again this year for Market Days.

Got a nice tug job here for an extra $6. They have a punch card like Subway. 5 tug jobs and then you get a Rusty Trombone.

Omg amazing experience I really did enjoy my time there met some nice guys and I do plan on coming back :)

Was told when I visited back in 2003 that it was the cleanest one in town. Never made it to the others but have been to a few around the country and I can definitely say that it was the cleanest and most populated that I have been to since.

Ive been frequent visitor of this place, the place is clean and neat as always. Tonight it happens that this personal was more than rud. This guy names Charles and the other guy in this shift didnt let me in arguing that I was intoxicated when Im coming from work to have some relaxed time.. It really bothers me bc this is the first time I see this two guys..

Off all the bath houses far and wide, Steamworks Chicago reigns the best. The place is massive and diverse enough to make anyone feel welcome and leave satisfied.

Got told by local not to talk or laugh in line, thought it was a joke, turned out in being told to go out and come back after an hour cos we where talking and laughing n line, maybe the staff thought we where drunk. Not the warmest welcome if Im honest.

The staff was very demeaning and rude. No customer service. They confused me and did not tell me the process as a beginner. They made of me in every aspect. Plus some people are doing drugs there. Not cool.

My first expirience was excellent i went yesterday for the first time i was skeptical at first since i live an hour away it was a marvelous expirience with the workers especially with ruben he was a cool guy i didnt like the fact that there werent many of my type of guys but for sure i will be going next weekend friday or saturday

September 18th, I went to the sauna. I am a tourist, my English is not very good, I wanted to change my towel. the employee a black man refused by talking to me from afar and very quickly. I point out that this same person was very uncomfortable at the entrance. for me this person is not at all in his place of welcome. positive point, the security with the monitoring of the bags, clean sauna,

I went my first time and i think they dont want intoxicated in here. I was not allowed in after a few drinks? I was trying to go in on a Wednesday night on thanksgiving. I wonder what happens on a Saturday night?

I travel a lot for work and this is the best bathouse in the country.

The spa is nice but the patrons attitude stinks. I never do well at Steamworks in Chicago or Vancouver. In Berkley I do very well. Go figure... Also be careful as I fell while wearing Sandles on the second floor near the Maze. Floor is dangerously slippery. A lawsuit waiting to happen.. :(

Love this, although I was wondering why does this not have a hygiene area? (Its basically a room with sanitizer, rubber & hose to douche) every single sauna in Europe has it. I swear American saunas need to catch up.

Clean facility, well laid out, thoughtful touches (mouthwash fountain, for example), and epic jacuzzi. And theres a live dj, just because.

Best experience on weekends. Plenty of options and 3 floors of fun.

I should give 0 stars, bad stuff. I believe that lafye or whatever that night shift manager name is. I believeHe is racist Im very unhappy the way he treats the guests in this place, this place should no have a racist person in charge of this place I hope they fire him soon 😡

Great Facility, super clean, modern and well kept. Lots of different areas to have fun, and relax.

I love this place

I had a wonderful time, I never knew life could be so pleasurable, sweet DJ. clean environment, huge hot tube with privacy sections, 3 super floors to explore, condoms are totally free, and mirrors on the ceiling in each privacy room, amazingly discrete.

This is a very nice bath house very clean nice music friendly atmosphere its a very good bath house I give it 4 stars I hope it stays that way

Here during IML, tons of hot guys from Bears to Twinks everything in between. The Porn stars where a bonus but the selection of hot guys was the main draw.

Have been many times to sw in Toronto and was always welcomed came to the one in Chicago for the first time front desk was rude to me and even denied me access for no reason. Have been to many saunas around the world will never go back here

Very open big place to meet other people. Its nice to just relax and have fun here.

How do I know when to enter a private room for fun? What indications allows me to know what he may want?

I did not have a good time. The staff was very rude to me. This asian guy kept asking if I was ok he seemed to think I was drunk. ( I dont drink) I had just driven 7 hrs to get there. I was tired. He then searched my bags and confinscated my advil cold and sinus which was still in the packaging they considered that drugs . I asked to speak to the manager and was given a busi ess card. The whole thing was extremely embarassing. I emailed steamworks and to this date, never received a response. I will never go back !

Clean place friendly staff cute guys

They turned away a friend because he has a speech impediment. Said he was drink. The shift manager said he believed us that our friend had a speech impediment, but he wasnt going to overturn a judgement call made by one of his guys.

Had a great time going to go back...

Love it all was have fun when I go

I wanna go heard so much about this place. . I live in Dallas tx i go to Club Dallas.. ill be visiting the Chicago area in jan hopefully i can stop by and check out the spa.. happy holidays

Omg that hot omg that hot tub! Public fun aside, the steam room, jacuzzi, and dry sauna is amazing. I suffer from joint pain constantly and i just left, with no pain at all! Everything after that is just gravy! Btw try not to get turned arounda few places can be a little maze like!

It a place to have good time y hate that tha manager get in your room and goes to your stuff steel your money a get caugth red handed and he denied i reported to other worker day came and remove me from there. It a great place but money your it not save.

Very bad service! I have already told the tourists that they need to buy a membership card for six months before they can enter, and the id of the tourists is required to be in English.

I LOVE Steamworks, and the staff is usually really respectful and efficient. However, the last few times Ive been, my check-in has been quite invasive and the clerk that has inspected my bag has been quite disrespectful(leaving pill bottles uncapped, demanding to see my cigarettes if theres a lighter in my bag, ravaging through my belongings without putting them back, etc...) I totally understand the need for bag checks and safety is priority #1. BUT There should be at least some shred of care when rifling through a customers belongings. I have felt like a drug smuggler when bringing Advil and Truvada(my perscription) in a pill carrier. Otherwise- Steamies is a clean, fun, sexy place that is #1 on my list to bring visiting gays. Please just find a happy medium between police raid and apathetic glance when it comes to searching my bag. Besides that: Keep up the great facilities!

Perfect perfect Perfect!

After planning my trip here over IML I have to say the staff was overworked on Friday and Saturday night. Sunday I decided to go after the black and blue ball and apparently if you have had any alcohol at all you have leave and come back two hours later. The security guard talked to me and said I was polite and cooperative and brought me back in and then the jerk behind the front desk said 24hours. Worst part is I had one double long island and felt a small buzz but was completely sober. Please standardize an alcohol screen, I would have passed it. Do not buy the black card. It provides no discount to general admission.

Clean with lots of black guys i love it here

Its steamworks. The spa is magical, honestly sometimes I go just for the spa.
