History
The inn opened circa 1989. The original owners were Joe (now deceased) and Pat Travis.
In 1991 Joe and Pat wanted something unique for the Bar and Grill because they felt that "Joe and Pat's" was not exciting (according to patron Bruce Hooker). They held a contest won by Bruce Hooker with "A'le'Inn" (a play on "alien").
The current owners of the Little A'Le'Inn are Pat and her daughter Connie.
