The original Lost Leaf in 2004 was located above the Emerald Lounge at 7th ave & McDowell. It featured underground performances as well as Phoenix's top artists. Due to gentrification, the historic building that housed The Lost Leaf and the classic underground club the Emerald Lounge (same owner as The Ruby Room) which was there since the 40's, is now a St@rb!cks and Pe! We!, The Emerald Lounge and the Lost Leaf moved out shortly after the news.

At least they preserved the building.

The Location for the new Lost Leaf Gallery is in the historic area near 5th Street and Roosevelt. It took 14 months starting in Mar 06 to secure a liquor license at this location (#7 Beer & Wine). During that time The Lost Leaf was open First Fridays only. As with the original location, 100% of art sales go to the artists. The Lost Leaf was started on the idea of getting local artists off the ground by not charging commission.

The house was built in the early 1920's. It has recently been restored keeping the original floors and exposed brick. In fact all the buildings brick was hand made on site.

This historic Phoenix home was the original location of Max's Sausage started by German immigrants in the early days of Phoenix. The original flag pole out front was erected in 1940 with an American flag to let Phoenicians know that they were Americans now and did not support Germany in the war. You can still find Max Pickled Sausages today around the Phoenix Area.

Centered in one of Phoenix's last original neighborhood, Evans Churchill; you'll be taken back to the beginning of our beautiful town.
