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

Happy Birthday Megan!

That's Megan, right there in the middle of photo #1. She turned 28 this week and celebrated with her teammates on Yer A Quizard, Harry by making everyone else feel Dumb(ledore) when they blew away the competition and won the night with a formidable score of 83!

And it was formidable competition, to be sure! Electric Moustache finished in second - just six points behind - with 77, and perennial powerhouse Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink finished in third with 75 points, and felt the sting of regret that occurs when you opt out of an opportunity to double and discover later on that those missed points would have tied you for first place.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt! But not as much as the harsh regret of finishing the quiz just one point shy of the winner's circle. How much does that hurt? Just ask the fine folks of 2nd Nook On The Left, who took fourth spot on the tally with a 74 - just a point behind the Jeopardy people!

What a night! What a fight! What a treat to host this odd collection of nerdy quiz whackadoos! Let's do it all again next week! See ya then!
