History

The High Noon Saloon opened on May 5, 2004 in Madison Wisconsin. It was founded by Cathy Dethmers to replace O'Cayz Corral, which was destroyed in a 2001 fire.[2]

The building previously housed the "Buy & Sell" shop, a Madison resale shop with an unusually large neon colored fish on its roof. Numerous national and local bands practiced and recorded in the basement of the Buy & Sell shop who would eventually play upstairs in the High Noon Saloon. Turbonegro recorded two songs of their Ass Cobra album with Sean Bovine at Green Room studios in the south-east corner of the basement.[3] No Name printing would churn out their flyers in the basement, also home to Rhetoric Records. Brainerd recorded their first album, "There's No Eye In Pussy," in the two central studios, directly under the dance floor for the High Noon. Ivan Klipstein also recorded his third album "Lifestyle!" there. Brickshithouse, Trin-Tran, as well as X-OR and countless others recorded and practiced there. The basement is currently home to "The Brink," which features jazz music and wedding reception catering, and the first floor is also home to "The Brass Ring" pool hall and eatery.

Prior to being the "Buy & Sell Shop," the building was an automobile repair garage.

Cathy Dethmers retired as club owner and sold High Noon to Madison-based promoter, FPC Live, in 2017[4].

gollark: You can just say "I'll search (for) that", no need to bring particular companies into this.
gollark: The other one I don't block ads on because they're just static image adverts in the sidebar of a blog, so I'm mostly okay with them and my adblocker doesn't get them automatically.
