I had a freaking blast at this banya. If you're not familiar with the culture you're in for a real treat. First of all, it's not cheap. $60 just to get in and that doesn't include food/drinks...which by the way, happen to be pretty good as well. Look, you don't come here for a culinary experience, but if hunger strikes, it's nice to know you're in good hands. There's a main pool and three different saunas/steam rooms, and plenty of seating around the pool. However, come early because it fills up. I have to say, the service was great. Knowing how my fellow Russians can be, I wasn't expecting much. When we got there the woman asked if any of us have been before and gave us a whole rundown and how-to. I'm also surprised at how clean it was. They have locker rooms, fresh towels you can exchange whenever you want, and showers everywhere. The women's locker room even had blow dryers. Look, at the price tag of $60, you get a whole day of relaxation. It's worth it. As far as the food is concerned, their sukhariki are great. We had silotka, shashlik, vareniki, salad, and plenty of tea. Everything was good and they even serve complementary strawberry cucumber mint water and it's so good!

I am not the one to frequent the Russian banya. this place is located on the neck road in Brooklyn . I was there with my friend, let me tell you I was very very surprised by the level of courtesy at this place. starting from front desk girl Anya, to a big security guard, to all the way that I met and all the other stuff that works here. everyone is extremely pleasant, and they try to accommodate your needs. facility is pretty clean, sauna is nice ,a Russian dry room is nice, restaurant service is excellent. and the quality of food is pretty good. I highly recommend this place to my Russian and American friends.

My Russian client took me to this place for dinner. It's not just a spa but also restaurant and recommend by Russian people. The place is very casual and easy. Menu has two languages, Russian and English. It makes this place look more authentic. This is a first time I try Russian food and I enjoy the food a lot. This is the food I order..... - Siberian Pelmeni: It's a dumpling in Russian version. I thought dumpling is an Asian type of food but I think this dish got flowing around because if you look at the would geography, Russian is actually locate in Asia, next to Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan so I assume that some kind of food are carrying by people who move of migrate in the past. - Salad "Chu Chuk": mostly tomato with onion and jalapeno. My waitress suggested it when I told her I love spicy. - "Nova" Lax: It is smoke salmon. - Skirt Steak Shish: looks so delicious (My client had it) - Beef Ribs: so juicy and very big potion can share with 2 people. - Dessert: Apple Shtroodel: Sweet and nice and I always have a room for that. - Drink: Krusovice beer and Red wine. I was thinking about order some vodka but I just don't want to look like a drinker in front of my client, LOL. Food is good, Service is friendly, Tip18% are included even we were 3 people. Normally I like to give 20% but because of they already charged so I only gave them what they put on the bill.

very family oriented place with lots of friends

I visited this place a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. the facility is very nice, the Saunas are wonderful. very friendly atmosphere and lots of people.

Came here Sunday at 3pm. Russian speaking people make up the crowd. Your demographics include predominantly thirty to sixty year olds; we were the only people in our twenties. Weekends are obviously the busy time when everyone wants to relax, so be prepared for sitting very close to strangers in sauna rooms. If you want to avoid the crowds in this tight space, come in the evening, after 6pm. That's when the space clears out and you can snag some seats by the pool and enjoy your visit without overcrowding. Weeknights are also the best, as not a lot of people frequent the baths afterwork. $50 per person entrance, no kids under 10 allowed. You leave your valuables at the front desk in a ziplock bag and get a key and a lock for a locker. Separate changing rooms, one for women another for men. The changing rooms are clean and in good condition. Only three showers, so you might have to wait for others to finish their business if you're leaving right around 4pm, when a lot of people decide to leave. Complementary rubber slippers are available for those who forgot theirs at home. Complementary towels are available in abundance, so no need to bring your own. After changing, go to the main area that includes a pool and plastic tables and chairs around it for you to sit. Not enough seating for everyone, so if you come during peak time like weekend day, you won't have anywhere to rest in between sauna and swimming. There are three steam rooms available and a cool pool to dive into afterwards, to cool down. There's seating around the pool. Very limited though (around 40 people total), as already mentioned. Two Russian style steam rooms (with brick mortars that warm up the room) and one Finland style (with clear, white steam). You can purchase veniki if you forgot your own. A refreshing feeling to dive into the pool right after you detox in the steam rooms. Extensive menu of food and drinks available at additional charge. Typical Eastern European dishes like kebabs, chops, meats, sandwiches, salads, mashed and fried potatoes. You can spend the whole day, eating, drinking, swimming and being merry. Overall, a good experience if you're looking to relax, detox, and destress. Time flies by when you're steaming yourself, so allow at least around 4 hours for a thoroughly reviving time.

good place to meet with friends and relax, the cuisine is excellent, a lot of different dishes, the bar makes great juices and teas, I really liked it, I hope to come back and enjoy the service! The staff is polite, always ready to meet you! I advise everyone!

Man, nothing like having some soviet food during a day at a russian bathhouse. They got a good selection of dishes, and the saunas themselves are nice and strong so you don't get cold. This place is worth a trip to Brooklyn if you're coming from the city like me, and they got enough things to do that you could spend a whole day in here. read more

This is our local "home" banya. I wish it is less crowded on weekends but understand business shall have a lot of customers not being washed out. Though personally I do not like noisy kids; I'm not a big fun of kids at all. It is what it is. Actually it rather good: they are growing in good Russian tradition. read more

Like a sports bar with a pool, saunas, and steam room! The menu is diverse and the food is delicious; the grilled vegetables were a hit with my companions and I, and I have ordered them every trip! Russian beers are fabulous and very inexpensive especially considering you are in NYC, at a spa, with sports on, and comfortable socializing in your swim suit! There are glass enclosed dining and smoking areas lining the entrance; teasing you on your way in! I love this place, it is decorated in (Russian) Hockey, everyone is really friendly, and I always have a great time here! read more

Many of us fail to realize that we come to the USA for a better life which means better opportunity. A place that welcomes everyone, every culture, and every religion which makes us great and the best country on this planet. My colleagues and I are two professionals who live in Downtown Brooklyn who went at the Russian Bath on Christmas because of the rating. The only problem that we have they did not mention for Russians only. As soon as we entered the place, we felt the tension- a few good Russians came to apologize to us and the two young receptionists asked us not to leave. As soon as we entered the steamed room, everyone left at the same time.They disregarded the fact that they were not in Russia but the USA- land that accepts everyone and gives us the opportunity to be ourselves. We have met a few good Russian people who told us to ignore those who feel uncomfortable to have us around. The management promotes this racist sentiment by not having a sign states any form of discrimination is prohibited here when they know what is going on the premises. I want all the good people who go to the Russian Baths to stand up against racism. By not fighting against racism, you are actually sending wrong messages to the management. It is not ok to discriminate against anyone. read more

I had one beer for $10, one cocktail for $16, and fries for $7. Somehow the total came out to $42, which simply doesn't add up. The bartender wasn't helpful at all and never provided a receipt. When I asked about the total, he said there was an automatic 18% service charge. Honestly, it felt like a joke. He even said the fee was "for staying in to drink" -- which makes no sense. Where else would you drink if you're at a bar? If this is how they operate, I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I wish there were half stars, as this one is a solid 3.5 which is pretty good in my book. Pros: 1. Clean. This is a must for me as the Sandoony I reviewed last year was not so and it was a huge turn-off. From the main area to the dressing area, to the saunas/steam rooms, the pool, the restaurant, everything is clean. 2. They were nice enough not to charge for my 4 year old. Cons: 1. Gets crowded on Sat early in the evening-we arrived at 5, there were 9 of us, and we were barely able to get two small tables by the pool. 2. Waiters serving the pool area are running around like chickens without heads due to serving so many patrons, and often, you have to remind them twice/thrice about a simple order such as a bottle of sparkling water. 3. No Jacuzzi. I did not mind, but my kids were complaining. Overall, a good experience-the saunas and the steam room are great, and I had a nice, relaxing time. Since I am on my quest to find the best banya in Brooklyn, I will explore the Mermaid Spa and the one on Avenue C/Coney Island and report then. read more

Everything about our most recent visit, after our lady-waiter took our order, she completely ignored us. The drinks we ordered never came, no one checked up on us the whole time, and we even had to ask a staff member to get our waiter's attention so we can ask about our drinks. (Which evidently didn't help as our drinks never came.) This place wasn't busy at all; well you know its Spring and Tuesday. I would say the pool area was less than 1/3 full. We were saying to ourselves, "it's just once a year, it's tradition," but the ridiculousness of the situation really sank in -- we were paying for overpriced food and getting nonexistent service. If this place didn't have sentimental value there's no way we would come here. Our waiter did magically reappear though, just as we finished our meal. Except this very bad situation with a bar and waiters pool was clean enough to swim and if u want jacuzzi not a problem u can try with no fear to be hot stimmed. read more
