Ah The Lost Leaf...
I ended up in Phoenix with a couple of friends in april 09 and thanks to yelp and the fact that there is really not much else to do in Phoenix besides drink--we ended up checking this bar out. Thank goodness we did! It made our trip that much more inebriated and awesome. I think we ended up going there 2 or 3 times, as it was a 15 min walk from our hotel.
I am a dark beer kinda girl, so when I looked over the beer menu they provide I was very happy. They had tons of dark beers! The place offers a wide variety of blonds, ales, stouts, and everything in-between as well as specialty beers you don't usually find in most bars (3 Philosophers, never heard of it before, so good and all the Rogues). And the beers came in a bunch of different sizes. This is a BEER BAR, I don't remember if they do have other alcohol or wine (and I really don't care) because I was just so interested in the extensive and potentially delicious selections.
I ended up getting pretty wasted here with my friends, and it was great. The cute atmosphere is sprinkled with artwork and dimly light. There is a bunch of bar stools and tables randomly dispersed as well as a little area for some live music. The Lost Leaf is in a house, that's right a house, renovated into a bar type lounge. At first, the place seems to melt into the other cute houses around it, but the people outside smoking, music, and lights coming from inside separate this place from the other houses. A lot of business seem to be inside houses around here, and there is a pretty cool art vibe in that area.
I don't know when I will ever find myself in Phoenix again, but if I ever do I am definitely going here again.
