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

Call me an old softie, but I've gotta admit it warmed this quizmaster's heart to see and hear all the words of encouragement offered to Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink (photo #1) this week, at The Famous, as BJWLUD prepared to do battle in the big Tournament of Champions this Saturday.

That's right! One of our favorite groups of regulars is Tournament bound after a spectacular performance in King Trivia League Play. The expressions of support from other teams were nearly unanimous last night, as word spread of the impending tourney action.

Nearly unanimous, but not entirely. Turned out that the stalwart and formidable Barely Barristers (who usually compete as The Bad News Barristers) felt that the best way to send the Jeopardy crew into battle was to provide a little competitive inspiration - and humility - by winning the night!

Jeopardy finished in second and - now properly schooled by the Barristers - ready to ruthlessly destroy other tourney teams and drink the blood of their lessors - metaphorically speaking, of course. Go get 'em, BJWLUD! We look forward to hearing all about it next week.

P.S. Quick shout out to our favorite team name of the night: Chris Martin's Ex Wife's Latest Candle. Funny stuff, that. I smell a clever team name! See ya next week.
