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.

It was another big night for Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink this week at The Famous in Glendale. Yeah, they won. They won big! They're a formidable team, no doubt about it. (That's them in photo #5 above. You'd think that those big brains would require HUGE heads to hold all that grey matter. But no, they have perfectly normal heads, that contain LOTS of Random Access Memory!)

The real battle last night was between Bad News Barristers (2nd place; 69 points) and The Barrelers (68 points). One point! That was the crucial difference last night. One stinkin' point!!

You might ask how The Barrelers felt about falling short by just one slim point. Well, a picture is worth 1,000 words, and Katie sticking out her yucky old tongue in photo #7 above pretty much tells the whole story!!

Ya don't see any tongue-sticking action from Electric Moustache (photos 2, 3 & 4 above) after they finished out of the top three at #4. That's because they comported themselves with dignity and good sportsmanship. Ya gotta admire that!

Come join the party! We'll be back next week! See ya then!!
