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

Lodestar was our lodestar this week at The Famous in Glendale. Though they vigorously deny writing the anonymous New York Times op-ed declaring Donald Trump a whackadoo looney-bird, they did acknowledge sending a letter to the editor of the Trivia Tattler opining that this humble quizmaster should be taken for a mental health evaluation.

That's Lodestar there, in photos 1 and 2. Good job, guys and gals. You earned your first place finish with an impressive 76 points.

The fine folks who comprise Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink don't bother writing letters, anonymous or otherwise. The just call me a bozo right to my face! But despite that regrettable disrespect, they still finished in 2nd with a 72.

That brings us to our 3rd place finishers: The Bad News Barristers. They too question their quizmaster's mental stability, but in their case it's the pot calling the kettle a pot, or something like that. Third place!? YES!!

See ya next week.
