Bridgeport has been trying to change downtown around for the better. It was my 1st time @ the Bijou theater. It had comfortable seats & bigger than most theaters. I came for the Shipwreck Saloon Experience. It was ok. You get 4 cocktails & actors tell pirate stories.The bathrooms were really clean in this theater. I would def come back if there's another event I would attend. I didn't get any food so I really don't know how the theaters service is. Maybe next time.

This is a beautiful clean venue in Bridgeport. Although I've lived in town for almost two decades I only been here a couple of times, because I haven't had many opportunities. Either they don't hold enough events of my interest or they don't get promoted as they should. Came here with my sister for a themed drink event called Shipwreck Saloon. We had a good time.

I recently attended an event at the Bijou in Bridgeport. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this venue was. I cannot speak to what it was prior to the new owner, Louie Zayas, taking charge (purchased early in 2023) but I read that a lot of work was done to restore the interior of the building. His hard work shines throughout! With both theater seating, and cabaret table seating (as well as a couple VIP booths), there is not a bad seat in the house! This isn't a BYO food or drink house, but do they sell snacks, and have a well stocked cash bar. There is a parking garage (that only accepts credit card payment) literally right across the street so no worries there. In looking at the Bijou website, I see all kinds of entertainment happening there! I look forward to going back!

Went to the Edgar Allan Poe event. So much fun in such a charming theater. The theater is small and intimate

This place was a pleasant surprise. Very nice setup, good sight lines and awesome acoustics. The owner- Gary - was great to deal with, reasonable ticket prices and they do not gouge you on fees
The place is immaculate, restroom was spotless.
Saw Acoustic Alchemy- great show ... I'll be backHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ann C.Trumbull, CT28176404Dec 29, 2018

They have a full bar:) you can buy slices of pizza, Candy, popcorn, soda, chips, water! Super great location for birthdays celebrations, corporate gigs, or just a get together with friends! Highly recommend The Bijou!

Nice historic venue in downtown Bridgeport. Cozy and intimate setting ... cabaret style with traditional seating area and some small table seating as well. There really isn't a bad seat in the house! A variety of events hosted here ... concerts, plays, musicals, ... reasonably priced seats. I highly recommend attending one of the events!
There is also a bar to quench your thirst and a small concession stand with popcorn and candy.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Paul D.Queens, NY5043446974Jan 16, 2018
Nice little theater with row seating in the middle and table seating on the sides. Not a bad seat in the house.
The theatre was great. The show I saw there, on the other hand, was horrible.
"Nothing Up My Sleeves" was a one man magic show with no entertainment value at all. The patter was horrendous. The presentation was horrendous. The whole production was laughable. Just wanted to sleep.
The magician should work more with children and animals, as the only entertaining moment was the little girl Abagail picked from the audience to assist with a card trick.
The audience howled with laughter when she went to pick up a piece of the torn envelope from across the stage.
There is no way MSG has to worry about getting sold out. For that matter, there is now way the Theater at MSG has to worry either. It won't happenHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Amy V.East Haven, CT1414133Nov 22, 2019
How do you sell tickets for a roast where the host (Niko) is funny but the actual "roast" is horrible??!! That should have cost $10/ ticket, maybe. What a complete waste! Where did you get those people??

1st time here last night! Beautiful little venue! I love the fact that it is so historic. Little snack bar right inside the door across from the box office. Mixed drinks, beer & wine also served. Not a bad seat in the place! Tables & chairs on the side were great especially if you have snacks or a drink! Will definitely go back I'd theres ever a show I like there!!
