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 could possibly cause the look of torment and anguish on display in photo #1? That man is a member of one of King Trivia's most consistently successful teams, Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink! They're currently #36 in our tournament rankings, they finish in the top three nearly every week, and they came in first again this week at The Famous  in Glendale! So what's the problem!? (I think he may have swallowed a bug. Ironically, I'm sure his team could correctly identify the bug!)

There's the team, looking a whole lot happier in photo #2. And our second place team, The Barrelers is portrayed in photo #3. Not THAT is a happy looking trivia team, ready to spread love and joy wherever they go. Take a hint, BJWLUD!

Which brings us to THIRD place, and Electric Moustache, who we're proud to present in photos 8 & 9. Photo 8 is fine. But we call your attention to photo #9. What the hell is that!? Some sort of trivia team gang sign? I dunno. But I can tell you, the guy in photo 1 sure didn't like it!!

See ya next week.

With record-breaking, triple-digit heat permeating Southern California in a historic heat wave, it shouldn't have surprised anyone that folks were walking around in nothing more than bathing suits.

But it was a big, BIG surprise when Kaley Cuoco, who stars in The Big Bang Theory, came in for a hot night of cool trivia!*

"Ya know, I play a character that is supposedly in love with a well-educated, super-smart nerdy guy," Kaley explained. "But the irony is, in real life, I really am drawn to smart nerdy guys!"

"Like Quizmasters!?" I asked excitedly.

"No. Not Quizmasters," she replied. "I like guys who don't have all the answers right in front of 'em, but have 'em in their heads. You know, guys like THAT guy!" she said, pointing out the guy in photo #2. (She eventually left with him!)

Aside from her disdain for Quizmasters, Kaley was very nice, and her presence at the quiz was entirely imaginary. See ya next week!

*Fake news.

You want to go where people know
The people are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
- Cheers Theme

Everybody knew everyone else's name this week at The Famous in Glendale, where every team was a ranked, league-enrolled regular...except one.

Who were the new kids? Why that was David and Leigh, who comprised the team of Sweet Leigh, and are pictured in photo #8. David insists that Leigh is sweet. Leigh says, not so much. We don't know who to believe, but we were delighted to make your acquaintance, and hope we see you two again soon.

As for the rest of your loyal regulars, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

See ya next week.
