Boswell alley was a great neighborhood restaurant and bar located in historic Northside, Ohio at 1686 Blue Rock St. Boswell Alley was operated by Mike and Jan Beck from 1986 when it was originally called “Mr. G’s” until they sold it in 2006. Unfortunately, the new owners did not run the restaurant at the same standards and went out of business in 2011.
The historic 1686 Blue Rock Street address was also the home of the Professional Bartending School which occupied the 2nd and 3rd floors from 1986 to 2010. The Professional Bartending School moved to its new address in Northside at 4141 Hamilton Avenue.
