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.

We were impressed by the back-to-back-double fueled, come-from behind victory orchestrated by The Interns this week at The Famous on Brand in Glendale. Nice going, Interns! That leap from the middle of the pack right into the winner's circle is an inspiration for trivia teams everywhere.

Two of our favorite frequent players, Yer A Quizzard Harry and The Barrelers rounded out our top three finishers, with two other teams ending up falling short by just one single point!!

That's right! Bad News Barristers and Drunk on CNN proved to be formidable competitors that are an inspiration to us all! Better luck next week, trivia warriors!!

It was a tremendous night of trivia competition this week at The Famous on Brand in Glendale. I mean, look at those final scores! Just one successful (or not) double would have been enough to steal the win for any team!! Wowzah!

Speaking of unsuccessful doubles, a rare failed double attempt in the final round by Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink opened the (Dumble)door for Yer a Quizard Harry to take the win!

(See what I did there? The failed double opened the DUMBLEdoor for the Quizards! Get it?! Quizards! Dumbledoor!! Oh, man! I just crack myself up sometimes!!

See y'all next week!
