Such a cool place to enjoy a few drinks and play darts. Staff is always friendly and attentive. They’ve got gaming too, a really nice gaming room. Being from Chicago, it was crazy to see High Noons for just $4 haha! They even have Guinness on tap, what more could a guy ask for. Always stop in when in town
