DONTKNOW commented about Bijou Theater on Mar 17, 2008 at 3:29 pm

This theater has been around for quite a long time. In the 1960’s it would not be uncommon to stroll in here and see the likes of Nureyv and others from that era. In the 70’s it became quite raunchy as the clientele changed to a more “macho man” leather crowd. I am going to be honest here, about 97% of the guy’s never wore condoms and barebacking was the norm(with several partners.) The 80’s brought the big Aids scare and it became notorious as one of the places that Jeffrey Dahmer met one of his victims(who worked their.) The 90’s brought back go-go dancers and a mix of artistic shows geared towards the more flamboyant. The late 90’s brought financial trouble for their legendary owner, Steven Toushin. Last time I was in a guy actually died! To see the place with the lights on was scary to say the least.

The Bijou holds a place close in my heart. I was a mere 19 year old lad when I lost my virginity here.
