"When High Noon opened downtown in 2015, it became known as a reliable late-night watering hole for margaritas, palomas, and other tequila- and mezcal-based cocktails. Diners dug into crowd-favorite Southwestern dishes like nachos and smothered tater tots in the casual lounge-like space, which had vintage-y roadside vibes, complete with walls plastered with posters from old Westerns. Half a decade after closing, the restaurant is making its comeback — with a glow-up. In a whopping 4,951-square-foot space inside the luxury Sawbuck apartment building in Goose Hollow, the new and improved High Noon, set to open in the winter of 2022, will sport an herb-packed living wall and floor-to-ceiling windows, encompassed by a neutral palette inspired by the desert. Upstairs, a spiral staircase leads to an intimate mezzanine bar made from cross-laminated timber, a nod to a saloon. To complement its shiny new digs, the new High Noon plans to offer exclusive amenities to tenants, like tasting events and first dibs on reservations." - Janey Wong
