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.

QUIZ RECAP

Imagine, if you will, that you have the same dinner every Thursday night. Pasta carbonara. A thick, creamy sauce that has bits of bacon and other goodness mixed in. You have your noodles cooked just the way you like them. And a nice bottle of vino to cap it off.

Every Thursday, you eat it on the same patio, at the same table, with the same utensils. It's delicious and predictable. You love Thursdays.

And then one day, you're eating your usual meal and you look up and realize 'I'm not in the same place. Who are all these people around me?' It feels so familiar, but so very different.

That's what it's like being a guest trivia host. You know how to run a trivia show, but with a whole different surrounding, it can be a bit intimidating.

I want to thank the wonderful people of the Famous Bar for making me feel at home on a Thursday night. No, it wasn't my usual, but it was a delicious - I mean wonderful - time hosting King Trivia.

You'll be back to your usual next week, and I'll be back to mine, but never forget June 1!
