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

Your humble quizmaster may have missed his true calling. After last night's exciting and revealing trivia quiz at The Famous in Glendale, I have come to believe that I should have been a sports coach or motivational speaker of some sort of inspirational leader.

What other explanation could there be for the resurgent performance of Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink, who absolutely crushed it last night on their way to the first place win? Yes, after giving the Jeopardy crew what for in last week's recap, the team dug deep, rallied their intellectual forces and performed at the peak of their powers.

Yer a Quizzard, Harry certainly gave 'em a run for their winning gift certificate, finishing just three points behind with an excellent 95, and Team Vitamin D demonstrated the potential benefits of nutritional supplements with a strong third-place finish at 90 points.

We Thought This Was Karaoke wasn't singing such a happy tune after a strong but ultimately disappointing fourth place finish, and we're confident that King Trivia stalwarts Bad News Barristers and The Blanches will return to the winner's circle again very soon!

See! There I go again offering encouragement and inspiration! Let's see if it pays off next week!! (I'm tawkin' to you, Blanches!)
