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.

I'm reading a book on the history of glue...
AND I JUST CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!!

Oh man! I just crack myself up sometimes!

Oh what a fantastic, celebrative, orgiastic trivia night this week at The Famous in Glendale! Okay, maybe "orgiastic" is overstating it a bit, but with 16 teams of enthusiastic, competitive and knowledgeable quizzers, we had ourselves a grand ol' time!!

Congratulations to our top three finishers:
1st: 2nd Nook on The Left (71 points)
2nd: Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink (70 points)
3rd: The Shitty Beatles (63 points)

Note the ever-so-slim ONE POINT DIFFERENCE between The Nookers  and Jeopardy! ONE POINT! That's what we mean by competition! (And we love it so!)

Special shout out to Carol, Kathleen and Elysa, the three moms (and a daughter) who comprised the formidable and delightful team of Mom's Always Right. We certainly won't argue with the premise of your team name. After all, Mom IS pretty much always right! But when three moms don't agree on what their answers should be, Moms end up with 47 points! Jus' sayin'!

It's always a good time at The Famous! Good people. Good food and drink. Great fun! See ya next week.
