Three Sisters Tavern
Three Sisters Tavern, sometimes abridged as Three Sisters and nicknamed "Six Tits", was a gay bar and strip club in Portland, Oregon, United States. The bar was founded in 1964 and began catering to Portland's gay community in 1997 following the deaths of the original owners. The business evolved into a strip club featuring an all-male revue. Also frequented by women, sometimes for bachelorette parties, Three Sisters was considered a hub of Portland's nightlife before closing in 2004.
==Description and history==
Three Sisters Tavern opened in 1964 as a family business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.katu.com/obits/112378374.html )〕 John P. Katchis and his wife Georgia owned and operated the business until his death four months later (1964) and her death in 1997.〔 The couple were survived by their three daughters, one of whom, Sotiria "Sandra" Katsavopoulos, along with her husband Athanasios "Saki" Katsavopoulos, acquired ownership and began catering to Portland's gay community, eventually turning Three Sisters into a gay bar and strip club.〔〔 It was located at 1125 Southwest Stark Street and featured an all-male nude revue, a dance floor, and shows. ''The Portland Mercury'' described the bar as an "institution of stiff drinks and stiffer male dancers", where "hot men perform theatrical and acrobatic stripteases on stage, then get naked and wag their penises in your face". Dancers often were costumed as angels, businessmen, construction workers, cowboys, police officers, or United Parcel Service (UPS) delivery men.〔 After Three Sisters closed in 2004, some of the featured dancers began performing at other Portland venues, including Jefferson Theatre.〔
Three Sisters catered both to gay men and to women,〔 who sometimes attended as part of bachelorette parties. ''The Oregonian'' described the "bachelorette bunnies" who used to frequent this bar as well as two others: Silverado and the Viewpoint. The paper's Lee Williams wrote, "Hippoty-hoppity they go – these fuzzy, suburban-soft little critters jump all over Stark Street and the Viewpoint running wild to celebrate one last night of 'Sex in the City' singledom. They crowd downtown's male strip-club stages holding dollar bills up to get a glimpse of a few last carrots before hopping down that wedding-trail home. They are particularly agile small mammals, able to hold a drink and a friend's hair while she's throwing up." Rufus Wainwright recalled accompanying Thomas Lauderdale, the musician known for his work with the Portland-based band Pink Martini, to the club.
