103-Year-Old World War II Veteran Has Been Serving Drinks From His Maryland Basement Bar Since 1963

Irvin Koch, a 103-year-old World War II veteran, has been serving drinks from an unassuming, cash-only bar in the basement of his Pasadena, Maryland, home since 1963. Koch and his brother bought the house with a grandfathered legal bar in the basement.

For more than six decades, 103-year-old Irvin Koch has been pouring drinks for customers out of the basement of his home in Maryland.
