    AMFs
    Angeline N.

    I came here as a part of my friend's birthday bar crawl and the vibes were immaculate! There are big booth for larger groups, smaller tables, and an outside patio. It was pretty crowded when we went but the bartenders were attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. The bartender who helped us was really friendly and talkative and we had a great time chatting with him! The bar is cash only but they do have an ATM in case you forget. Everything is reasonably priced and nice and strong. I tried an AMF because my friend ordered me one and it was exactly what I expected from an AMF--strong, sweet, and gnarly enough to mess me up. I had a great time and would love to come back!

    I'm in love with the Christmas decor

    I've been wanting to come to this place for years. But somehow I just never got around to it. I finally made it out this past Saturday. This place has everything I love in a bar ! Cozy booths, touch tunes "jukebox", friendly staff and great drinks. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Twinkly colorful lights everywhere. Whoever is in charge of decorations to do fantastic job! Note: This bar is CASH ONLY. If you don't have cash, don't worry. There is an ATM . But I advise to come with cash so that you don't have to pay the extra atm fee . You're also allowed to bring in outside food which I think is very convenient. The parking lot is small. We parked across the street at The habit and just walked over. No biggie.

    Open early! Grab a quick drink before going through IKEA . We got 6 drinks for $53 (before tipping) which was a crazy deal! Ambiance is really cool too so we killed time the right way.

    Fantastic celebration goin' on tonight: it's the keyboardist Herman Jackson's birthday. What a turnout of patrons, friends and fellow musicians. Tonight's vocals and instrumentation was at another level. You could feel the electricity vibing in the air: mesmerizing, soul stirring, introspective, jubilant. Herman and his band were a tremendous musical vortex tonight: jazz classics, bossa nova, R&B. Dayuuum it was sho' am good tonight.

    ate a habit burger here on tuesday jazz nights. vibe was immaculate i think i start to understand jazz now. beer menu but you can ask for any cocktail, my lemon drop was 12 dollars. wahoo

    They should call this place The Aqua Room. It's a cool ivy covered building with actual parking and some neat vintage furniture inside. But that is where it ends. The cocktails they advertise on the sign are lackluster. The music is trite. The patrons are D-list all the way. I'm not sure what ownership is aiming for, but it's either got to be a dive or a snazzy cocktail joint with actual great cocktails and a waitstaff that actually takes showers. Like it is today - it's a relic on life support. Aqua is a shade of blue, I know. But aqua seats and pleather is a little much. Makes me want to puke up my poorly made cocktail.

    This is a little secret place in Burbank called The Blue Room. Little cozy bar. You can bring in food and no drinks. The service is fabulous. John was fabulous and willing to share the story of The Blue Room. Jazz every Tuesday. This is a fun place. You must give this place a try if you visit Burbank.

    Is there dancing?

    It's a pretty small bar so there's not much room to dance. I supposed you could dance at your table with your group but there's not much dancing.

    Yelp says this place has live music. True? if so, what kind? Who’s the booker?

    I don't know about the other days but Tuesday night a little bit after nine or 930 is when you wanna be there. They have amazing musicians that are in the local industry and I'm sure you've heard them on many major albums and soundtracks.

    Is this club 18 and over?

    This is not a club, it's a bar. 21+

    Do you really open at 10am? Is day-drinking an okay thing here? Wheeeee!

    Highly recommend! Classic Glendale establishment!…read more The Famous has been under new ownership, a lovely woman, who has great new ideas for the bar. Lots of themed nights and engaging activities to really bring the community together. I love the creative and fun cocktails. Lots of asian themes but also traditional tiki drinks. Unfortunately parking may be a bit tough (you'll need to walk) - either street parking (paid in front), free street parking in the residential, or parking at the mall

    (Drank 03/28/26 SA @ 6:00pm): How famous was this bar in Glendale?…read more After a late-afternoon film at the nearby AMC The Americana At Brand 18, my friend and I walked around a bit and eventually found ourselves at The Famous Bar. With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening. Would this bar famously make an impression on me to remember to return in the future!? PURCHASE(S) Fremont Brewing Dark Star Double Oatmeal Imperial Stout Beer 8.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): Dark brown color, coffee oatmeal roasty aroma, medium body, chocolate coffee oatmeal roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee oatmeal roasty toasty aftertaste. This was a really tasty brew and my favorite of the two! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ad_C9YTJYF9lVr2FOEQLkg 12" Margherita Pizza ($20.00 HH; Reg. $26.00): A simple pizza with a somewhat thin crust that was kind of cardboardy, the flavor was rather pedestrian with chewy mozzarella although the basil was fragrant and fresh. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=kdkvUttCLmMOAGQ1nyp5tg Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Danish Red Amber Lager Beer 5.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH; Reg. $8.00): Dark amber red color, malty allspice aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=QQjsTWce5Lstcxj5PowrYw Steak Fries ($7.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): This was an impulse buy as something to pair with my second beer. A decent portion-sized snack, each spud stick was hot, steaming, and thick and came with a side of ketchup. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=GVoy0nzxFUL6rHWaxNdG7Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a sole young woman behind the bar who handed us a menu and directed us to sit anywhere. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place. Otherwise, there was limited parking along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and other surrounding side streets, the nearby Glendale Galleria II parking structure, The Americana parking structure that offered validation, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

It was easy to feel comfortable and even easier to want to come back. They have a really solid beer selection, but the real winner is their cider--it's 8% alcohol, which is insane for a cider, but hey, I'm not complaining. They had the hockey game on, which I definitely appreciated, and they also have a pool table where you can write your name down to play. Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out and maybe even making some new friends while you're there. (If you go in, tell the bartenders, I said hi)

The cake was first brought out with a candle, then taken to the back, sliced, and returned piled on top of each other, placed on the table with tongs for us to serve ourselves. For a paid birthday event, this felt careless and unprofessional. There was a clear lack of food and service. The salads and meat were cleared by 10:30 PM, leaving our table bare, and the beef BBQ was so dry I could barely bite into it. We were told to expect a DJ and live music, but there was no DJ. The live music did not even start until 8:30 PM. Between the few live songs, elevator-style background music was played, which you couldn't dance to. Most of the time you were just sitting and waiting for the next song. In total, there were only a handful of songs the entire night, from about 8:30 PM until 11:30 PM. Then all music was completely shut down by 12:00 AM while there were still guests in attendance. This felt extremely unprofessional and cut our celebration short. The alcohol service was handled very poorly as well. I personally supplied the alcohol to the restaurant, yet only two bottles were placed on our table initially. The rest was kept to the side, and throughout the night the men at our table were asking for alcohol and felt they were expected to tip servers just to have their shots refilled. (Over $250 in tips server collected from my guests) This was uncomfortable and completely inappropriate. For the price I paid, the lack of food, lack of service, and especially the poor handling of music and alcohol made this a very poor experience. I even asked the venue employee would music be back on and they said oh yes long as there are guests music doesn't stop! But it clearly did. I would not recommend this venue for an important celebration. Party ended at 12am on a Friday night.
