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

Overheard at The Famous in Glendale during this week's haunting trivia quiz: "Ya know...putting a few ounces of brown gravy in a whoopie cushion adds a delightful new level of humor to a timelessly classic prank!" *

As the photos above clearly illustrate, the spooks and ghouls and an array of costumed contestants gathered at The Famous this week for a haunting round of King Trivia chills and thrills.

Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink's Matty led his team to victory with an awesome Billy Porter costume (photo #1), despite teammates Doug, Mike and Stephanie opting out of the costume drama!

I Spooped My Pants finished a strong second, and offered advice on fun ways to execute delightful practical jokes (see quote above). And The Blanches rounded out out top three with a strong late-game surge.

We can't finish this recap without a nod of deep appreciation to The Joker and The Riddler (photo #5) who impressed us deeply with their commitment to costumed excellence. Well done, friends!

See ya next week!

*note: King Trivia quizmasters and support staff do not advocate putting brown gravy into whoopie cushions! I mean, come on!! That's just icky! (pretty funny idea, though!)
