About The Famous Bar

The Famous craft cocktail lounge is located in Glendale's historic Huntley-Evans building, directly across the street from the Americana at Brand. It follows an eclectic and rich pedigree of establishments that have called this building home in the last century, most notably the early Glendale landmark, The Famous Department Store. The Famous, true to its heritage, embraces the classic art of fine craft cocktail creation, invented in the United States in 1856, using bitters, juices, syrups, and infusions, prepared in-house using fresh ingredients from local markets and growers. Cocktails served at The Famous are identical to those served nearly 100 years ago when the building was constructed.

QUIZ RECAP

It's a GREAT time to be alive! If there's one thing that can be said about King Trivia quiz-lovers (and we all know there are many things that could be said about us) it's that we are culturally aware! We are hip; with it; tuned in; ahead of the curve. In fact, I heard members of third-place finisher Electric Moustache say exactly that last night. (They were a little full of themselves after finishing in the top three, so a little self-aggrandizement seemed acceptable.)

Nothing gets past them - or us - am I right!? Of course I am! And who among us isn't delighted with the cultural trend that is destined to be the next big thing. I speak, of course, of Mantyhose! For far too long, men have been denied the pleasures, and leg-accenting features, of a good pair of pantyhose. But not anymore!!

If this trend catches fire like I expect it to, our second place team, Gentle Sweaters, may have to update their team name by switching to a different garment. "Gentle Hosers" perhaps? No, wait. Never mind. That really doesn't work at all.

But mantyhose are undeniably awesome, and those hose pair up nicely with the equally awesome new Romphims, which are, obviously, rompers...for him - which means US, guys!! Why has it taken so long for these fashion choices to become available to fashion forward men?

I can't answer that, but I do know that if you're gonna live your life as a fashion-forward style-ista, like our first-place winners That's Jude Law Dancing Down The Street do, you'll want your Romphims to be entirely made of lace in a pastel color! Damn right!

Okay, seriously. I don't know if anyone is going to embrace these new sartorial options. But we celebrate free expression in any form, and in a world as disrupted and disturbed as ours seems to be just now, we welcome any and all amusing and stimulating statements of independence and individuality.

More significantly, in celebrating both diversity and free expression, we wish everyone a very happy and celebrative LA Pride Weekend. Seriously - the world has gotten darker. Embrace the light. Cry Freedom!
See ya next week.
