Brooklyn Bathhouse

Today was my 2nd time visiting BB for the sauna and my 1st time trying their massage services (I got the Athlete's Massage). Due to a website glitch, my appt was double booked, but the General Manager was extremely apologetic about the error and made sure I was taken care of as soon as possible. Everything worked out, and I appreciated that I wasn't sent away; just a little delayed. The massage itself was intense (in a good way... lots of knots lol), calm, and thorough from head to toe. There were check ins on pressure being applied and brief instructions when I was going to be moved for deep stretches, so communication was on point. For the inconvenience, I was offered a huge cup of green tea to enjoy after my session, compliments of BB, which added to the therapeutic experience🙏🏾 It's worth noting that all massage and scrub services come with a Day-Pass, so you can hit the sauna and detox before and/or after your session. I opted to hit the rooms and pools afterward, to further purify myself from all the toxins that were released into body from my muscles lol The women's locker was well kept with a pair of shower stalls, toilets, and a bevy of toiletries like cotton rounds, make-up remover, face toner, lotion, hair ties, disposable razors, and q-tips. You get an assigned locker with a key to secure personal items, and you keep/wear it on a wristband during your visit. The front of house and facility staff from start to finish made me feel comfortable, and provided extra clean towels and another robe when requested (someone accidentally took mine while I was in the steam room - whoops). I did "sweat therapy" for about 3 hours and found the other guests to be really friendly, making sure to scoot over and create space for 1 more if the sauna room/pool I stepped into was crowded (which wasn't too often). BB is still pretty new to the neighborhood (maybe 1 year?), and I'm new to the bathhouse life, but all-in-all, I enjoyed the accommodations and look forward to coming back. It's nice knowing there's a mini oasis nearby to pop into for a couple hours to sweat it out and relax. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try!

Dry sauna and wet sauna were awesome. Heat rises so if anyone is complaining that the temp isn't high enough in those rooms needs to sit on the top row! The steam room was nice but did have a bit of an odor, which is not uncommon in a wet room. I still used it as it wasn't overwhelming at all (tho maybe some incense or something would help for more sensitive patrons). Showers and pools were nice. Massage by Ari was great as well, very attentive. Front staff was friendly. There were some teenagers in the pool area that were excessively loud- I don't mind talking but laughing so loud it echoes in the saunas when you're trying to relax is annoying. I talked to them but wish there quiet area signs and that the staff enforced it. Then again, this is a bathhouse not a spa so maybe the rules are different and I was out of line? Please let me know! Nice little spot in neighborhood overall for a good soak and steam. Will go back. 👍

really nice little spa for a good price! front desk was awesome and super helpful. on the day I was here however it kind of had a “party” atmosphere - loud talking from many guests in the pool area and in saunas. The crowd was very young but I wish the signs that asked guests to keep their voices down were more enforced. The music also doesn’t help; the soundtrack when I was there included Bruno Mars, Adele and other old Top 40. Not exactly “spa music” and definitely contributed to the raucous energy. The pool room is super echo-y so even when a smaller group is talking at a medium level it really fills up the space. Another pro - there are many clocks everywhere! Yay! Con - most of them do not work and don’t move at all. Sad.

I’m so happy this is in the neighborhood! I’m a restaurant manager, long distance runner, and rock climber … so it almost goes without saying that my body is in constant need of recovery & nervous system in need of a reset. On nights that I leave work early, stopping here before home is such a good decision! The staff are friendly and helpful. The locker room is vibrant, clean, and well stocked. The pools are comfortable. The saunas compact and mighty. Super chill downtempo energy (much preferred over some of the more vibey spots) which was perfect for the night. Can I give BB six stars?

We found this spot on a whim and it's great! I went with my husband and loved how empty it was (albeit during the week lol). It is so peaceful, clean, and I love having all the options (dry sauna, steam sauna, wet sauna, cold plunge, reg temp pool, and hot tub!) They also offer robes and sandals which was nice. The decor isn't my cup of tea (in the bathrooms/waiting area) but that's not the reason I go there! Worth checking out and if you can adding it to your wellness routine for the health benefits of it all!
