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.

What a crowd tonight! The first few rounds were a little quiet, but as the evening picked up and our players ordered more drinks, folks started to get more and more excited/disappointed about the answers. I'm always a big fan of teams who feel invested in their gameplay!

Shout out to The Blanches, who had a team member celebrating a birthday this evening. Hope you had a great night filled with fun and friends, and congrats on your first place win!

In second place we had the Bad Explainers. who had a slower start but found their groove and stuck with it. Fantastic job, especially on round five!

Finally, big props to our third place winners, Yer A Quizard Harry. They did exceptionally well in round 3, with a successful double-or-nothing. Looks like you all know your restaurant chains!

Thanks, also, to all the teams for being great sports for our drinking round. I asked our teams to tell me what they would name their shell corporation to hide all their money. Some great answers, but the winner of the evening was "Trump Hotels & Casinos". I also loved "Ribs For Your Pleasure" and "White House Inc".

Special thanks to the folks at the Famous for hosting us and taking great care of us. And thanks to everyone for making me feel at home while your regular quizmaster was out--hope to see you all soon!
