About Me

I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT!
The A&O was built in 1924 by two German brothers named August and Otto, hence the A&O. It started out as a candy store selling treats to the neighborhood children. During the 1920's the Eighteenth Amendment and the Prohibition Laws made manufacturing, selling, importing and exporting anything with an alcohol content of over 0.5 percent illegal. The A&O was rumored to be a speakeasy during this time. In 1981 Syd and Pam Mathias bought the A&O from it's second owner. They continue to own and operate the A&O to this day. The A&O is the third oldest tavern in Fort Wayne to still operate on it's original liquor license. There is a lot of history here and more waiting to be made. A lot of our regular customers remember sitting outside on the curb as children eating candy while their parents went in to have a beer. Those children have now grown up and have children of their own who are old enough to start coming in.
