The Adonis Theater Eighth Avenue New York City 1975 – 1994

Written by on · 1 Comment

The Adonis theatre at 839 Eighth Avenue in the district it  started life in September 1921 as the Tivoli Theater.

In 1975 it became one on ‘s most popular adult all male porn film theaters, the Adonis Theater, which operated successfully until it was sold in 1994, and was demolished in 1995.

My partner was in the Adonis in 1990 and remembers a lot going on inside in different sections of the theater. He also mentioned about some of the interiors, bathrooms and the balcony of the old theater that were shown in the movie trailer.

Note: This movie is an Adult film, but the trailer is R rated and was filmed in in 1978.

    I remember The Adonis. The inside must have been truly majestic at one time. Was a true hedonist delight

    Funniest thing is it was so busy on a Sunday afternoon you had to be careful not to sit under the edge of the balcony because cum would literally be raining down over its edge at time.

    LOL
