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.

Ya gotta hand it to the guys from Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink. I mean, we knew they were good, but we didn't knw they were this good. Seven rounds of perfection, doubling each and every step along the way, to rack up a perfect 110 points! I mean, SHEESH!

We shouldn't really be surprised. A frequent participant in our Tournament of Champions, they finished in the top ten at the 9th TOC earlier this year, and they've already begun their march to TOC 10! What a performance, fellas! Well done.

We were also pretty impressed with The Blanches, who were undaunted by BJWLUD's performance and registered a solid 80 points of their own to take second! Well done, ladies!

A pair of solid teams tied for third place, with Supper Puppies taking the win over Let's Get Quizzical with a tiebreaker success, and just in case you're wondering (as I did) if the Supper Puppies actually meant SUPER, and inadvertently added an extra "P," uhm...I asked, and no. Not an accident. Puppies - it's what's for dinner!

See ya next week.
