About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa provides an authentic Russian bathhouse experience centered on intense heat therapy. Spa-goers consistently highlight the very hot traditional saunas, with the best and largest one located in the men's locker room. The steam room is also a popular feature, where guests can request eucalyptus oil for an enhanced experience. For contrast therapy, the facility offers an ice-cold water shower activated by a pull cord. The spa does not have a cold plunge pool. Guests, including athletes who visit for recovery, note that these thermal facilities are well-maintained, clean, and provide everything needed for a complete session.
Atmosphere
The venue offers a rustic and authentic Russian bathhouse style, with a friendly atmosphere that long-term guests describe as feeling like home. The environment is relaxing, with an outdoor lounge area available for guests to use. It can get crowded during the winter months, but the summer season offers a more chilled-out experience with fewer visitors.
Pricing
The entrance price is $70 per person. Some guests note this as a recent increase. The sentiment among regulars is that the experience justifies the cost for a full day of relaxation.
Staff

Additional Amenities
Beyond the thermal facilities, the spa offers platza treatments and massages. A significant highlight for guests is the on-site restaurant serving delicious Russian food, which many claim might be the best in Brooklyn. Dishes like the chicken pojariskie receive specific recommendations.
