text: I have a friend who has a story about looking for a bar in the Phx with her slightly flaky friend only to end up in someone is house that happened to have a neon open sign in the window I am kind of convinced that news of this story was the inspiration for the Lost Leaf at its new location It would be hard for you to convince me of anything less idiosyncratic They have a pretty rocking selection of bottled beers interesting art displays an awkwardly placed restroom which makes it pretty easy to mess with people which is always fun and it is not too far from modified Crowded on FFs Oh hell yes And a fine place if you are going on a date and you are skeptical about it because at least you get to go to an awesome place which supports the dating philosophy I developed after meeting up with a dude who talked about his ferret a little too much Never go anywhere lame for a first date Because if the activity is lame and the dude or lady as the case may be is lame you will be out ten bucks for gas in these parts and MISERABLE Getting hit by a hail storm of womens shoes on the drive home should never be the only part of a date that you want to rememberbut the shoe hailstorm is another story for another review
