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

That good-lookin' quartet of people pictured in photo #4 represents the brain trust calling itself Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink, one of our most consistent and accomplished teams.

Despite their insistence on heavy drinking that was so out of control that Alex Trebeck himself had them removed from the Jeopardy TV studios, BJWLUD won the night this week at The Famous on Brand in Glendale.

They've been there before. Matt, Stephanie, Mike and Doug (and also Rory, who wasn't there last night - come back soon, Rory!) sat atop the leaderboard again (and for the umpteenth time) when the quizzing was done. It's no surprise that they're currently very high up in the Season 9 League Standings. They've been there before, and will no doubt find themselves in the heat of the competition when the Tournament of Champions takes place at the end of the year.

Ironically, Jeopardy may not have let 'em drink, but they also won the drinking round this week, so we can expect them to keep on quizzing, with King Trivia, right!?

See ya next week.
