Over 1000 years of the Russian banya experience has finally been brought to New Jersey!
Our fully custom made stone and brick oven would have had the czars coming here. 180 - 200 degrees of sheer exhilaration and the LIGHTEST steam west of moscow. It is the real deal and so is the 45F cold plunge!
After your banya experience in our three steam rooms, we have a full byob restaurant to round out your experience. "No better place to spend a day and watch a game", according to Steam Times!
