I love beer and I like little random spots and The Lost Leaf is a pretty random spot since it doesn't appear to have a sign and looks like a house more than a place to go drink. But then there are a lot of these converted homes in this part of PHX.
I went here the first time while I was crashing at Vann's place for the BCS National Championship game before Auburn won and we became Nationals Champions. That was with my friend Kim from Dallas and we both quite enjoyed the ambience and beer selection although she was hoping they had Shiner Bock which they didn't carry at the time.
Not to fear as they have a pretty solid selection of bottles to choose from. The next time I was there was with Blake and a jazz quartet was playing. I couldn't resist and returned again when they opened just to get in one more visit.
One of the guys who was working had some pretty bloodshot eyes so I suspected he might have enjoyed a 4:20 pre-work session - cheers!
