Entry No. 94 — the Chicago file — filed under: soak

Piva Beer Spa

Chicago's only beer spa: private wooden tubs filled with warm water infused with hops, dark beer extract and brewer's yeast that you soak in like a stein, followed by a Himalayan halotherapy salt room and steam sauna.

The move: Book a private beer-tub soak for two, then drift into the salt room afterward — an appointment-only hour that starts as a joke and ends genuinely relaxing.
