In Oakland Park, one woman is proving that age is just a number and a very flexible one at that.
Local 10 recently highlighted Margie Sadowski as their Fresh Face of the Week, and at 92 years old, she’s still clocking in for her bartending shifts with zero plans to retire anytime soon.

“In my head, I’m not 92. I’m 82,” Sadowski joked. Her motto is simple. Think young, feel young. And here’s the wild part. She doesn’t even drink. She says she never liked alcohol and doesn’t even enjoy the smell.
Despite that, Sadowski opens the bar, pours drinks, keeps things running smoothly, and works four days a week at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles in Oakland Park. She first got into bartending at 24 after boldly offering to train for the job when the bar owner couldn’t find reliable help.
Sadowski briefly retired once, but quickly realized sitting at home was not for her. When her daughter needed help staffing the bar, Margie stepped right back in. Along with bartending, she also serves as the group’s secretary and the unofficial therapist behind the bar.
She admits today’s drink orders confuse her sometimes, but the people don’t. That’s what keeps her coming back.
As for retirement, she says she’ll think about it around 100. And honestly, with that energy, we believe her.
