Last Call: 95-Year-Old Bartender Retires


Angelo Cammarata has been serving beer since end of Prohibition

WEST VIEW, Pa.
- Only minutes after Prohibition ended 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.

Ejoy your retirement. Have a beer! I hope I'll be working as long as you have.

I want to work until I die. What else is there to do; sit home and watch soaps? Can't afford to travel around and see this world I worked so long for...
