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.

Ya gotta hand it to the clever folks of Our Smart Friend Bailed. That team name is an effective way to lower expectations, right? But no! Their smart friend didn't bail! Their smart friend was each of them, and they managed to smart their way into second place this week at The Famous in Glendale.

The smart friends put up a good fight, certainly, but couldn't quite unseat frequent 1st Place finisher (and tough Tournament of Champions participant) Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink, who led all scoring with a robust 85.

Yer a Quizard Harry rounded out our top three, with The Bad News Barristers underperforming (we know what you're capable of!!) this week to take 4th with 60.

Your faithful quizmaster spent the whole evening looking for a leprechaun - it's a long story - but he was a no-show, and can kiss my shillelagh! *grin*

See ya next week!
