In one of the Tom Green shows he nearly got his ASCII Table kicked all over the floor at some redneck bar. It was called Harpo’s. Does anyone know what state this bar was in?

I’m pretty sure it was in Tennessee. I found this.

Oddly, I could not find a website for this establishment.

Cool. There was also a Harpo’s in Michigan and I didn’t want to go to the wrong one:-)

I think the bar when Tom Green was in Memphis tn in 1999 was Harpos lounge. Then they changed their name to harpos hog pin. Then I think they closed n the late 2010’s.

For the record, the most famous harpos seems to be the one n Columbia Mo. but that was not the one n the Tom Green show in 1999.
