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

We had a near photo-finish at the end of this week's quiz at The Famous in Glendale. This venue always features some top-drawer competition. But this week's stairstep scores of 67/66/65 at the finish was especially tense and delightful.

When the dust settled, Mitch McGonagall was at the top of the heap, followed oh-so-closely by The Bad News Barristers and Yer a Quizzard Harry.

Our top team for the last two weeks in a row - The Blanches - had a rare off night to finish in the middle of the pack, while frequent winners Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink had trouble shaking off the jet lag from a recent trip to Africa and performed so poorly that they asked this quizmaster to leave them off the scoreboard entirely!

Being the compassionate and accommodating person that I am, I readily agreed to that request and assured them that I would not mention the failed double-or-nothing attempts or their historically low score of 37 points.

"You can count on me, Mike! You too, Doug! You can sleep soundly tonight knowing that your secret is safe with me!" I said.

Yup, that's what I said. See y'all next week.
