Bird Cage Theater

The Bird Cage Theater the stimulation joints in 1800s Tombstone.An unassuming venue on the front, the place likewise served as a betting lobby, a cantina, and a house of ill-repute that drew hearty men from distant locations abroad. Word goes that Bird Cage was named for the pens suspended from its roofs, where women of the night kept their clients engaged 24 hours every day, 365 days a year.

Yet it was not all playing around at this raucous joint. Guests can see with their own eyes the slug gaps that still question the chipping roofs and smelly dividers. An independently directed visit takes you through the first furniture of the old theater, with mannequins adding a spooky nearness to the scene.
