Nothing says male bonding like some bad-boy time on the beach
Spa in Chicago
Cubs-crazed Chicago is tailor-made for a getaway with the guys; but after you’ve had your fill of sports, pizza, and jazz, head out for a relaxing day at the spa. If you secretly love to be pampered, you’re not alone – about a third of U.S. spa-goers are men. Get your back massaged (or waxed) in masculine surroundings – think pool tables, brown leather chairs, and ’40s pin-up-girl posters – at the 316 Club Barber Spa. Don’t worry: If you have to miss the Cubs game because your skin is still exfoliating, you can catch it one of the numerous flat-screen TVs in the lounge and treatment "cabanas."
Book It: The 316 Club Barber Spa attracts guy’s guys with its players-club ambiance (free beer and wine, and a Vegas-style odds board). The "Pit Boss" package includes a massaging shampoo, haircut, hand massage and detail, five-step shave, and shoeshine, all for $95.
