Conveniently located proximate Prospect Park, the Parade Grounds, and the B/Q and 2/3 Trains, Brooklyn Bathhouse is a spa that serves athletes, hard-working career men & women, and anyone in need of a little self-care.
A bathhouse has been making the rounds on social media the last couple months.
No, not the viral puppy spa. Or the insta-friendly rain room in Italy. No, some place far less glamorous: Brooklyn Banya, a no-frills Russian bathhouse deep in the outer boroughs of Fresh York City that, somewhat ironically, doesn’t even hold its own Instagram page. Both Vice and the New York Post — those peerless doyens of lurid clickbait — recently profiled Brooklyn Banya as one of the worst-rated businesses in New York City.

It could be a scene from a shiny ‘80s porno flick — gleaming torsos, G-strings, crotchless pants and a supercharged beat. It’s a sensorium of sweaty, sultry pleasure, somewhere between Berlin’s infamous nightclub Berghain and Ancient Greece.
This is Steamroom — a new Brooklyn bathhouse rave launched by Sam Liebling (who DJs as SEXAPPEAL) — and the latest sauna party to join New York’s underground scene, harking back to the city’s horny bathhouse heyday of the s.

Introduction to New York City Gay Saunas and Bathhouses
Discovering a gay bathhouse in New York Urban area can feel like navigating a maze, especially when you realize the options seem surprisingly sparse in such a bustling metropolis. This is a ordinary puzzle many gay travellers find themselves trying to solve when they see NYC. In this capital, the gay sauna customs diverges significantly from what one might find in European capitals like Barcelona, Rome, or Milan.
Why, you might ask? The landscape of gay saunas in New York City has been shaped by its history, particularly during the devastating HIV/AIDS epidemic of the s, leading to the closure of many establishments.
