Antique Oak Back Bar from The Ugly Broad Tavern – 7-Piece Modular Pub Fixture

Description :
This historic back bar was salvaged from The Ugly Broad Tavern, a beloved neighborhood establishment at 3908 Denison Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. Originally opened in 1974 as “The Pub” by Eugene and Jane Giamarco and Lenny Rosol, the bar was renamed in 1975 by new owner Sherry Perry. This oak back bar stood as a centerpiece to decades of local camaraderie and working-class culture. Built in the early 20th century and adapted for tavern use, the unit features rich oak construction, arched alcoves, broad drawers, and sliding doors. It disassembles into seven parts for easier handling and installation. Retaining its worn-in charm and layered patina, this is a rare opportunity to own a storied piece of Cleveland bar history.
