The Spot.
Located directly across the Americana, The Famous Cocktail Lounge pays homage to the historic building it resides in, once called “The Famous Department Store.” The Famous was founded in 1860 selling army and navy supplies (see cocktail below!) and once boasted it being the “world’s largest army and navy store”.
After a few change of hands and over a century later, The Famous now serves cocktails that would have been served in the 1850s using simple ingredients like bitters, juices, and in house fusions.
