Gem Theatre, Saloon and theatre in Deadwood, US.
The Gem Theatre featured a front section with a bar and stage area, while private rooms for encounters occupied the back section.
Al Swearengen established the Gem Theatre on April 7, 1877, at the intersection of Wall and Main streets in the mining settlement.
The establishment presented stage performances, comedians, singers, dancers, and organized prize fights for the entertainment of local miners.
The venue generated approximately 5,000 dollars per night through various services, including drinks, dances, gambling, and private entertainment.
Three separate fires affected the Gem Theatre, with the final destruction in 1899 leading to its permanent closure and Swearengen's departure.
