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.

Veni, vidi, vici

Well THAT's for sure! Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink were channeling their inner Julius Caesar this week at The Famous on Brand in Glendale. They came, they saw and they destroyed the comptition with a 94-point performance that bested the second place Blanches by a full 26 points!

If they keep this up, we're gonna take the suggestion made by the Bad News Barristers (who took third place, FYI) and make 'em play with a 25-point handicap like they do in golf!

See ya next week!

As we've said many times, this quizmaster really appreciates a fun and topical, of-the-moment, ripped-from-the-headlines team name. Such names make my heart smile! With that in mind, a BIG shout-out to:

I'll Buy Greenland For $1

Oh no you won't, Quiz in My Pants (that's their usual team name) because Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ain't havin' it! Not from Donald Trump, and not from you!! And, I mean, a dollar!? Even Trump ain't that cheap!

In other news, one of our favorite teams, It's Pronounced "GIF" made a big jump from 9th place just one week ago to 2nd place this week! An impressive improvement! And much like The Little Engine That Could, we think you CAN make it all the way to the top! Perhaps next week? See ya then.
