Bath Club of NY
1196 Gravesend Neck Rd, Brooklyn, NY
Bath Club of NY is a long-running Russian banya in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, best known among regulars for housing the largest men's-only Russian steam room in the tri-state area. The facility runs an authentic banya (kept around 192°F at near-100% humidity), a separate dry sauna, steam rooms, and a clear pool — with men's, women's, and co-ed hours rotating across the week. The crowd is heavily Russian regulars who treat the visit as a ritual rather than a one-off spa drop-in. Venik (oak leaf) treatments are part of the standard offering, performed by long-tenured banshchiks who know what they're doing. The interior is unpretentious — no luxury finishes, no upsells — and the price point reflects that. Best fit for someone seeking the most authentic banya experience outside of going to Russia, who values heat intensity over modern aesthetics. Open every day until 11pm.
