Harpootlian drops Group Therapy appeal, continues fight against neighboring bar’s liquor license

COLUMBIA — Dick Harpootlian’s latest challenge to Five Points institution Group Therapy has officially ended, but a similar challenge to the neighboring Five Points Saloon is ongoing.

Adams claimed the bars are not following state law requiring the majority of their business be driven by food sales, rather than alcohol. Adams was represented in court by attorney and former state senator Harpootlian. After a seri...
