Stallions
Opened in 1986 by Ollie Rosenberg, Stallions embraced the same philosophy as The Archives. It was bar that became more inclusive of all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
“It wasn’t until Stallions opened and they adopted kind of the same philosophy that it became more universal. And they actually even started having drag shows.” – Larry Wilson Oral History
Eventually the 3rd floor of Stallions opened, which attracted more of the LGBTQ+ community. Stallions is still open at 706 N. 3rd Street in Harrisburg today.
