Mary Williams+FollowDowntown Ames loses a jazz-era gemNoir, the downtown Ames bar known for its 1920s speakeasy vibes and live jazz, has closed its doors after nearly five years. This spot wasn’t just about cocktails and bourbon—it was a place where locals gathered for music, conversation, and a touch of old-school glamour. Noir’s closure leaves a noticeable gap in the downtown scene, especially for those who loved its unique atmosphere and weekend performances. What do you think this means for Ames nightlife? Will another venue step up to fill Noir’s shoes, or is this the end of an era for downtown? #Food #AmesIA #NoirBar00Share
