The Bird Cage Theatre (The Official Site)

The Bird Cage Theatre (The Official Site) Step inside Tombstone’s legendary 1881 Bird Cage Theatre—once a theater, saloon and gambling hall. It is truely the last of a bygone era of western history.

The Bird Cage Theatre was a combination of a Saloon, Gambling Hall, House of ill repute, and Theatre. The New York Times wrote that the Bird Cage was the wildest wickedest night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast. There were 16 Gun and Knife fights that left over 140 bullet holes through out the building. The Bird Cage hosted the wests longest poker game lasting 8 years 5 months and 3 days. The Bird Cage is ground zero for paranormal activity. It is one of the most haunted bulidings in the west. We have had many paranormal investigations that come to investigate the hauntings of this building.

Behind one plain wooden door in Tombstone, the 1881 card tables never moved, and legend says a poker game in the basement ran for eight straight years.

Imagine 1882. Tombstone was not just a mining camp in the middle of nowhere. It had fine restaurants with amazing food, outstanding selections of drinks and w**e. It had a theatre, saloons, clubs, houses of easy morals, church service and a thriving community. Take a walk along the boardwalks late at night when the town sleeps and folks are back home or in the hotel. Sit on a bench and listen with your heart and Tombstone will whisper a tale of yesteryear.
