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.

It was all about The Blanches at this week's session of King Trivia excitement at The Famous on Brand in Glendale. The tremendous trio of smartypants women in photo #1 - known to their friends as Amy, Mimi and Andrienne - took on a strong field of competitors and emerged victorious with an impressive 81-point win.

When in Ramen did as the Ramens do and scored a second place win with 75 points. And The Bad News Barristers (featuring Richie, carrying Devan on his very strong back!) rounded out the top three with 70 points.

It was a close shave for Let's Get a Brazilian, who finished just one point behind The Barristers and therein came within a hair's breadth of winners-circle glory.

At the other end of the scoring spectrum, we encouraged Anna and Sophia to play together as a team. But noooooo! They insisted on playing as individuals, competing head-to-head in order to "see which one of us is smarter!" said Sophia. Or it might have been Anna. Not sure which.

Their nearly equal final scores suggest that they are pretty evenly matched, so the friendship will likely survive this challenge. Come challenge yourself (and your friends) when we meet once again next Thursday for another session of the best live trivia quiz on the planet! See ya then!

We tip our official quizmaster cap to the Preschool Crew, who had a combined total of just 22 points after the first four rounds of trivia quizziness at The Famous this week in Glendale. That inauspicious start didn't prevent the Preschoolers from doubling successfully in each of the final three rounds to finish in first place!

That 60-point bonanza was enough to edge out trivia quiz stalwarts Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink by just one point! The Jeopardizers nonetheless finished in second, followed by the Electric Moustache who delivered another high voltage performance to finish in third.

Electric Moustache...high voltage..!
Oh, man! I just crack myself up sometimes!
See y'all next week.
