Though also owned by Wesley and Jane Morey, the Hi-Land Inn, located at 938 South Clinton Avenue, didn’t boast the same impressive record of performances as its more successful counterpart in Irondequoit. Regardless, it still managed to host legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt and a number of touring musicians, backed by its oft-vaunted house band composed of Johnny Dunlap, Ray Dunlap, Chuck Cameron, Eddie Silagyi, and Bobby Woods. As the Ridge Crest Inn continued to secure top billing with its pantheon of names, the less popular Hi-Land Inn shifted back into a restaurant. Unlike many of its lost jazz club counterparts, the former structure of the Hi-Land Inn still remains, though now in the form of the Angry Goat Pub.
