Harry Hope's existed off of Cary-Algonquin Road on the property where the Fox Bluff Conservation Area is now located. 

It was a very happy place to be, especially on weekends.  Many longtime Cary residents have fond memories of going to Harry Hope's to see wonderful, live entertainment.  The photo is a playbill from a period of time from August 15 through October 5 (year unknown). 

There are some great acts on the playbill, including Corky Siegel and Jim Post.

Look closely at the poster...the telephone number for Harry Hope's is listed as 312-639-2636.  Now that was quite a few years ago.
