Bogue's is a diner-style restaurant located at 3028 Clairmont Avenue in Lakeview. Andy Straynor and Charlie Lawrence opened the restaurant in 1938 and grew it into a formidable businessman's destination.
In 1946 the restaurant moved to its current location and was called Bogue's Highland Restaurant. A 1948 advertisement [1] featured portraits of "Mr & Mrs Bogue" and promised that Mrs Bogue personally supervised the preparation of all the desserts on premises.
