From locals to out-of-towners looking for adventure, great food, cold drinks and new friends, this is the spot!
“There’s No Place Like This Place Anywhere Near This Place So This Must Be The Place”. Al’s place was constructed in 1915 by Lee Bing and three partners who ran a Chinese restaurant here in Locke, California. In 1934 Al Adami and an associate came up the river from Ryde to become the fir

st non-Chinese business in town. From the beginning, Al’s goal was to create an establishment with no pretense which he named named Al the WOP’s. Al’s goal was to create an establishment for the working man, a place to “Come in, relax and leave your worries outside.” From this many traditions were born. The first was the cutting off of businessmen’s ties and leaving them at the front door. This tradition was followed by tacking dollars to the ceiling as homage to the people of Locke. This money was used to host an annual liver feed for the local people who had supported him. Many traditions are still alive and well at Al’s today as Al the WOP’s has operated as a restaurant and bar more or less continuously since Al first opened its doors to the public. The dollars are still on the ceiling and you are expected to take your tie off before you come in. In its almost 100 year history Al the WOPs has become a destination for bikers, boaters and tourists from around the world. We pride ourselves on holding on to the values that Al established. It’s a place to leave your worries at the door, enjoy good drink and food, and experience the community of the California Delta with your friends.

Your meeting can be an email... This burger could be your lunch. One of those things is still an option. Head on out to Al The Wops for a Mushroom Swiss Burger and Garlic Fries.

You could go back to work. Or you could just play hooky and stay here for the entire afternoon. Choose wisely!

Sure, it’s hot out. Tragic. Good thing lunch at Al’s comes with the free will to order a few cold drinks, choosing your favorite a seat at the bar, and biting into something better than whatever you were pretending to eat at home.

Here you have it… another version of amber waves of grain.

Whiskey. 🥃

Golden amber, smooth, and distilled from those famous grains into something that pairs mighty well with our pasta special, burgers on Al’s bread (of course), a chicken sandwich, or fish and chips. At some point today, you’re going to want a great lunch, and maybe a whiskey. When that time comes, we’re here for you!

It’s officially summer, which means the sun is still out, nobody knows what day it is, and cooking dinner at home sounds like a personal attack. Good news: it’s Taco Monday at Al The Wops!

Pull up to Locke this evening, grab a cold beer, order the tacos, and pretend this was your plan all along.
