Disappointed

I visited the Bijou back in early 2010 and I was very disappointed. The guys were not attractive, it was almost empty, and it was a little expensive. I have heard mixed reviews so I was not sure what to expect. I'm not sure if I will be back.

Awful

Smelled like puke and was empty (surprise). No where near the time or money. Total boner killer.

Great place, no hassle cruisin

I first went to the Bijou two years ago when I came to Chicago for a convention. I knew of the Bijou before I went because I had purchased some of their classic porn films. I had a great time, left with a smile, easy no hassle cruisin, Not a bath house, like blow buddies in San Francisco. Every time I go to Chicago I go to the Bijou. It's kind of cool because it's like going back in time to the 1970s, 1980s.

Ouch, don't dring before going there

I visited this place July of last year. The place does have a rather odd smell. The 1st floor was a theater. People sitting there watching porn. I sat down and within a couple of minutes some older guys were checking me out. I got up and went to explore the other areas. Went upstairs, they had all these different rooms where people connect. The music in this place is really fantastic, the best I have head in years. You can really relax. Anyway, went downstairs again and outside, they have a nice secluded smaoking area. Had a cigarette and went back inside. Will I evcer go back someday, ya. Would I do this again, heel no. don't drink before going there.
