Since 1985, Little Al has been a presence on Front Street, serving beers and meals as well as a lot of laughs! Al Pizzato was born in 1939 and grew up in Roseland. He shares how in first grade he learned how to make change for a beer and a shot, which cost $.35 at the time.
Little Al's Mokena Inn is one of Mokena's oldest building and Al is currently the 2nd longest owner in its rich and storied history. We welcomed Tony Margis, a friend and a Marine Corp Veteran , as is Al. Tony brought some cool history and surprises for Al and I which we will include on our Facebook page for our listeners to follow along.
Little Al's Bar and Grill is among the last of the "dive bar" or “hole in the wall” bars across the south suburbs and we were happy we got to sit down, in Little Al's with the man himself.
We hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to stop in and say hello to Al and tell him you heard him on Mokena's Front Porch!
