Dillon's Russian Steam Bath

Typical queue

Admission is cash only, costs USD40 for two hours, and includes no online reservation. Monday 14:00-21:00 is women-only; Tuesday-Friday 11:00-21:00, Saturday 11:00-20:00 and Sunday 07:00-13:00 are men-only. Arrive with cash before the final hour rather than risking a shortened session.

Best night

Monday is the only weekly women-only session. Men have the widest choice Tuesday-Saturday, while Sunday is an early morning 07:00-13:00 tradition. Choose by the published gender session first, then by whether you want platza or massage time.

Locals vs visitors

This is a traditional Russian shvitz, not a gay sex venue. Women use Monday's dedicated session; men use the remaining published sessions, with long-time locals and sauna visitors focused on heat, massage and communal bathing.

Dress code in practice

Bathing norms replace street clothing inside. Bring cash and ask about current towel or rental needs; the upper steam benches approach 180°F, so hydrate, pace heat exposure and disclose relevant health concerns before massage or platza.

Staff inclusion

Dillon's is woman-owned by Lisa Rizzo and has maintained a women-only Monday for more than twenty years, with explicit gender-separated operating sessions. That is concrete operational inclusion for women, but it is a binary schedule and the site does not explain access for trans or nonbinary guests; call before visiti
