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

Keep It On The DL (actually The Bad News Barristers, playing incognito) won the night this week at The Famous on Brand in Glendale. They triumphed over tough competitors Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink and Gentle Sweaters, a trio that placed very high in our Final Season 8 Rankings.

Final reminder: The Tournament of Champions is NEXT WEEK! Tickets are still on sale, but there aren't many left! You don't want to miss this opportunity to battle for your share of the big $10,000 prize pot!

Two teams in attendance at The Famous delighted your humble quizmaster with their fun and unexpected team names. MacHale & Tiga (Have Had a Few Drinks!) offered the most honest name of the night, if you substitute "several" for "a few!"

Did I say "several?" Let me put it another way. How can I put this nicely? Oh! I know! They were PLOUGHED!! (Check out photo #9 for visual verification.) I mean, they were delightful and not at all obnoxious. But definitely ploughed. UBER customers, without a doubt.

And finally, the name I Need Amanda Hugnkiss may look innocuous enough at first glance, but say it quickly and the true meaning becomes clear.

And we certainly hope you found one! See y'all next week!!
