Black Cloister interior design details

Spoke with owner Tom at the Black Cloister on Thu, Mar 19, 2015. He provided some info about the interior design.

The glassware, at least the Mug Club mugs, were made by a local glass company.

The bar top, shelves, etc were made and/or contracted out by local firm called Broken Color.

The wood edge of the bar top may have come from railroad ties.

Broken Color contracted the mural with Graphite: Design & Build.

In a couple small areas, Broken Color used wood that was salvaged from a Toledo building that was built in the 1860s.

The drink rail that hangs along the wall with the mural is made of 100-year-old Michigan cherry wood.

The tables cost $5 a piece, which may have been the price before refurnishing. The tables came from an old warehouse.
