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 a wild and crazy night of trivia fun at The Famous in Glendale this week! The Blanches (photo #1 above) finished in first place for the second week in a row with a one point edge over Bad News Barristers (photo #2).

"You SUCK! Ya got lucky and you suck!" yelled one of the Barristers to the trio of Blanches after learning that they'd fallen one point short of trivia glory. To their credit, the Blanches just sat there stoically and ignored the Barrister outburst.

Some minutes later, in what may have been an unrelated incident, a very wet (beer soaked) paper towel hit the offending Barrister in the back of the head. This quizmaster did not see who launched the moist beer bomb, but it did not appear to come from the area where the Blanches were sitting.

No, indeed! Rather, the angle-of-attack suggested that the attack came from the vicinity of our third place team, Yer A Quizzard Harry. Indeed, one of the Quizzards had a very satisfied look on her face, and one of the Blanches came over a minute later and high-fived her! *

Yes, we do have a great time at the weekly trivia quiz at The Famous. You should join us. We guarantee a good time!

*some events described above may be entirely fictional. In fact, they almost certainly are.
