Short Leash has been through a lot of changes and renovations over the last 4+ years, but it has remained a mainstay in my rotation of downtown Phoenix eateries.
The menu is short but sweet, giving you unique combinations to top your choice of dog. The Bear can't be more praised--where else do you find cracker jacks and peanut butter AND bacon on a hot dog? If this isn't up your alley, other options include mac & cheese or seasonal fruits. There are dozens of combinations between your choice of frank, bread, and menu or build-your-own toppings.
Local beers also reign supreme here. The drafts encompass a wide range of brew types, and the fridge is always full of cans.
Finally, the donuts tempt you with a two-shelf selection at the end of the bar. Take one to go so you can have a bit of Short Leash wherever you head next.
