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

"This is a tough hurricane. One of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water."
- President Donald Trump on Hurricane Florence
September, 2018

It is the normal practice of this humble quizmaster to eschew politics in the weekly recap. After all, it would be ethically questionable for any King Trivia Quizmaster to take advantage of their incredible influence by using his or her bully quizzer pulpit for political purposes.

On the other hand, your loyal quizmaster just loves it when a group of quizzers chooses a team name that mocks and otherwise belittles political figures of any persuasion. That's why I was delighted with last night's team, The Wettest Team (From the Standpoint of Water)

Donald Trump's description of water as being wet is one of the greatest, most delightful moments of his Presidency so far, and I salute you, Wettest Team, for soaking him in it!

On a separate note, a special shout out to the lovely ladies of this week's winners, Bad News Barristers (photos 7, 8 &9 above) who pulled off the impressive win despite Michael and Ritchie drinking themselves silly during the quiz.

How silly, you ask? Well, at one point, Ritchie was overheard saying, "well yeah. water is wet! I don't see what's so wrong with saying so!"

See y'all next week.
