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.

Last.  Night.  Was.  Crazy.  Not only a TON of people came out to play, but a maaaaajor twist of events at the end.  We had a 3-way tie for first at the finish!! And then (just to make things even more interesting), two teams gave the same answer on the tie-breaker round!! Two things in one night that THIS quizmaster has never seen.  Can't wait to see what happens next week...

Another great night of King Trivia in the books!  Even the bar manager hooked us up with some souvenir glasses to hand out to make the night extra special.  The night's drinking round also taught us something:  we don't know the 12 days of Christmas NEARLY as well as we think we do...

Man oh man... How I love King Trivia at The Famous.  Watching people battle it out, while encouraging each other throughout the game is the best.  We had a haiku competition, and I never knew how many poetic geniuses were also heavy drinkers!!!
