Best TimePerfect for late afternoons or evenings (5:00 PM to 8:00 PM) after a long day of sightseeing, skiing, or hiking.

Getting ThereSituated at 3004 Downing St on the edge of the Five Points neighborhood. Take the Light Rail L Line to the 30th & Downing Station, followed by a mere 1-minute walk north. For drivers, the spa offers a dedicated free private parking lot located directly behind the building.
Travel Tips
- This highly unique spa has limited private rooms and absolutely rejects walk-ins; reservations must be fully paid online weeks in advance. Guests must arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled slot for onboarding; any personal delays will directly cut into your private Beer Bath or infrared sauna room time without compensation or refunds.
- Despite the name, the bath consists of a thermal blend of direct brewing ingredients like hops, barley, and raw herbal minerals infused into hot water, rather than actual carbonated commercial beer. Individuals with large open wounds or severe yeast/plant allergies are barred from bathing; exit the tub immediately if dizziness occurs.
- The facility operates an automated self-serve tap wall via RFID wristbands. While the lobby is open to all, you must be 21+ with a valid physical photo ID/passport to unlock any alcoholic beverage taps. To guarantee cardiovascular safety inside the hot saunas, the electronic system heavily caps the maximum pour ounces per wristband.
Reviews
Positive
- Perfectly blends craft beer culture with modern spa treatment; sipping local brews while soaking in an herbal beer bath is a unique experience.
- Private treatment rooms offer high privacy, pristine facilities, and highly relaxing infrared saunas and zero-gravity massage chairs.
- The self-serve taproom wall uses high-tech wristbands for billing, allowing you to try different craft beer flavors anytime.
- The staff is highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about beer culture, custom-matching spa packages to guest preferences.
Heads up
- Highly expensive as a luxury indulgence; definitely not worth it if you are just looking to have a regular drink.
- Due to a limited number of rooms, weekend and holiday slots are extremely tight, often requiring bookings weeks in advance.
- Each package has strict time limits, making the experience feel a bit rushed just as you begin to fully relax.
- A subtle scent of beer and herbs lingers on the skin post-spa, which some visitors might find unappealing.
