Description In the 1880s it was not only a theater, but also served as a saloon, gambling hall and brothel. It was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - even on holidays. The New York Times called it, "the wildest, roughest, honky tonk between Basin Street | Technical Details and the Barbary Coast." The longest card game
here was said to have lasted 24 hours a day for eight years, five months, and three days. The famous "bird cages" where ladies of the night sold pleasures to cowboys and miners - are still intact.
