 Man's Country was a popular bathhouse chain that had branches in New York City and Chicago. The New York branch first opened in the early seventies in Brooklyn Heights. This branch was taken over by the Club Baths chain in late 1973. Man's Country opened another New York location in 1974 in lower Manhattan. This branch closed during the 1980s.  The Chicago branch was opened in 1973. It was located in  a 1907 former lodge hall that was renovated in 1972 by owners Chuck Renslow and Dom Orejudos. The Chicago location is still open today.
