✨This booth holds a special place in my heart. Shortly after I purchased the building, I began carefully disassembling the bar and DJ booth on the second floor. Several people told me it would be easier to just rip them out, damaging the wood. But I had a plan, and I needed that wood because I couldn't afford to buy more.

As the bar came apart, I carefully laid out the wood in piles by size and shape. I drafted a final image in photoshop of a shadowbox seating area. I was thinking of churches, grand central station, and libraries, all places where I had spent time in reflection...

Without a formally drawn plan, I went to work.. constructing what I knew in my mind to be the finished work. Allocating the wood to different parts of the plan so I wouldn't run out and could use it all up.

Half way through the project I found out I was pregnant. So, the final two months of working on it, there was a tiny baby in my belly listening to the saw, the hammer, the drill, and the sewing machine. I couldn't ask someone else to finish for me. There was no formal plan to follow.

Several people thought I was wasting time without a plan, or "doing it wrong." But I got it done in the end.

The poky branches are from a tumbleweed that blew up behind the bar some months after I was handed the keys. It was perfect. I saved it and told the contractors not to touch it, which they confusingly obliged. The other dried plants I picked the month before we opened in the dead of February. Walking through Palmer Park in the snow with a big belly forging dead flowers.

I knew what I was doing the whole time. And it turned out beautifully. I love seeing guests enjoying themselves in this area. It's a special space in the bar.

🍎 Honeycrisp Apple infused Bourbon made in house with Michigan black cherry syrup and Harney and Son's black iced tea... this is the Mabon Cocktail.

✨ We look forward to it all year. It's only on the menu through the fall and winter when the ingredients are in season. We made it the first year we were open and it has returned every single fall.

🌙 Come taste Michigan fall in a glass. ❤️

✨ Spells & Cocktails ✨

Witchcraft and craft cocktails have a lot more in common than you might think! 🥂

Herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, and spices have been used for centuries in medicine, magick, and spirits. We love exploring how the same ingredient can bring something wonderful to a cocktail’s flavor while carrying a completely different meaning in spellwork.

It’s a little bit of botany, a little bit of alchemy, and a whole lot of delicious witchcraft. 🖤

And while we’re witches all year round, October is a pretty wonderful time to celebrate with the real thing. 🕯️

Come have a drink and make some magick with us!

✨Cheers✨

📕 Did you know we have a witchcraft library in the bar? Yes, and you can check out books while you visit anytime on Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday.

Most of them are from my personal collection (Zoey.) There's books on spell work, different forms of ritual practice, and lots on protection and divination.

Next time you're here, as the bartender if you can check out a book. We love sharing wisdom and ideas.

✨Cheers✨

🕯️✨ You are your own tarot reader at The Black Salt. From the day we opened, we put together a wonderful collection of tarot decks that are available for rent any day you visit the bar.

Whether you have never read tarot before in your life, or read on a daily basis, we have a deck for you. From oracle decks with beautiful symbolism to a wide array of traditional tarot decks, we even have a deck that has the meanings like cheat codes on the actual card. It's really not that hard, you just have to be open and ask the cards your questions, then pull. ❤️

🗝️ We believe in your abilities. Grab a drink, crack open a box of cards, and see what your own intuition has to say.

✨Cheers✨

✨Cheers✨

🍂 Idle Hour 🍂

A cocktail inspired by slowing down to appreciate the fleeting beauty of autumn. As the days grow shorter, we’re reminded that rest and enjoyment are just as important as work and preparation. The ability to indulge in them is in our hands.

🍁 The Cocktail 🍁

🥃 Old Forester Bourbon
Strength, warmth, and prosperity.

🥃 Planteray Dark Rum and El Dorado 12 Year Rum
Abundance, pleasure, and good fortune.

🌿 Meletti
Herbal bitterness for balance and reflection.

🌰 Frangelico
Hazelnut for wisdom and protection.

🎃 House Pumpkin Syrup
Harvest abundance, nourishment, and gratitude.

🍁 Maple Leaf
Seasonal change and the beauty of letting go.

✨ The Spell ✨
When we began discussing fall spells, one of the first ideas our team suggested was a spell to combat distractions. We decided that scent is a powerful tool for grounding and remaining present. The resulting spell uses a cedar stick, rooster feather and larvikite to create a talisman for anchoring your attention in the present.

🎃Every season, we enjoy the challenge of slipping pumpkin into a cocktail on the menu, and this one does not disappoint! Come in and leave distractions behind. You deserve to enjoy this fall.

✨Cheers✨

🔥Our bathroom chandeliers had a little update this week. They were in need of some new bulbs and what's better than a little flicker? 🕯️

✨We have two bathrooms, and each one has a chandelier from the old bar, Mephisto's. They strangely fit the vibe perfectly.

🪞 Every time I tweak and update something in the bar, it seems to lead to another project. I see new gaudy Victorian mirrors in the future. And with the dim candle light, we will need picture lights over the mirrors to be able to check our makeup. 💄

❤️ All good things in due time.

🕯️✨ In the meantime, come check out the new flames!

✨Cheers✨
