I was invited to perform with Ms JULIE ZHU’s Jazz group. The place was an AMAZING example of FINE Management felt in every inch of the space! Wednesday Night Jazz Features MAGNIFICENT Musians!

We were visiting from out of state and were looking for a bar to grab a drink. Stumbled upon this hidden gem and could not have picked a better place to relax. The vibe is impeccable and the music is perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking to sit for a few hours. The mango sticky rice cocktail is by far the best drink I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back here next time we are in town.

This place was DISGUSTING. I came here last Saturday and the saw at least 2 live and one dead cockroach on the bar. When I brought it up to the bar staff they acted like I was crazy. The music was so loud you can’t hear yourself think. The decor is TACKY and CHEAP. I saw several people stand up and walk out after waiting for their orders over 45 minutes. There was screaming and shouting coming from the kitchen. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. As a woman I did not feel comfortable in this bar as the staff was very threatening and hostile. What a nightmare.

The Famous: A Hidden Gem with Great Service and Affordable Drinks

After recently changing ownership, The Famous in Glendale, California has emerged as a delightful new spot worth checking out. From the moment you step inside, the friendly service makes you feel right at home.

The drinks menu offers a nice variety of classic cocktails and signature creations, all at very reasonable prices. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the drink prices were, especially for the quality. The “Dream” cocktail, in particular, was a standout – a perfectly balanced mix of spirits and fruit flavors that went down easy.

The overall atmosphere has a cool, casual vibe that makes it a great place to unwind with friends or enjoy a low-key date night. The decor has a modern, minimalist style that gives the space an open, airy feel.

While the food menu is limited, what they do offer appears to be well-executed. From the little I sampled, the kitchen is turning out some tasty bites to complement the drinks.

If you’re in the Glendale area and looking for a new spot with friendly service, affordable drinks, and a comfortable setting, I’d highly recommend giving The Famous a try. It has the makings of a hidden gem that’s sure to attract a loyal local following.

We had the best time here with a group of six! Loved the vibe—the wine and cocktails was ON point, the food was great, and the music volume was perfect, making it easy to chat and enjoy each other’s company. Highly recommend!

I last came here during their anniversary night when drinks were supposed to be buy one, get one half off, but I was still charged full price for each. The server only gave me the total without an itemized receipt, which felt intentional.

I’ve been here four times and the vibe is really inconsistent. Two visits were great, low lighting, soft music, a chill atmosphere where you can relax. The other two times, the music was blasting pop so loud you couldn’t even have a conversation.

Between the billing issue and the hit-or-miss atmosphere, I don’t think I’ll be coming back. It’s too bad, because when it’s good, it’s a great spot.

I went on Thursday, 12/04 to karaoke night and the person in charge didn’t let us sing totally ignore us. I don’t know if it was on purpose but did not care. The bartender was great. That’s the only reason why I’m going back.

The best cocktail bar in Glendale. Tiga is one of the best bartenders I’ve had the pleasure of getting drinks from. The cocktails are amazing and all the bartenders are friendly and will try their best to make you the best cocktail.
