They’re going to have a lot of really clean glasses at their house.
Alternate title: Gimme three fingers of Ensure. Neat.
Last call: PA bartender since Prohibition retiring
WEST VIEW, Pa. – Only minutes after Prohibition died in 1933, Angelo Cammarata, 19, served a 10-cent bottle of Fort Pitt beer to a customer in his father’s neighborhood grocery.
Ever since, except for a 30-month hitch during World War II, the son of Italian immigrants has been tending bar and serving drinks. Guinness World Records dubbed him the longest-serving bartender a decade ago, and he’s earned induction into Jim Beam’s Bartender Hall of Fame and numerous other honors.
Now 95, he’s calling it quits.
I’d like to buy that guy a drink. Just think of all the stories he must have.
