Thirsty Lion Gastropub – Tempe, Az

Amazing! the poor lion never lets us down! it is one of our favorite places

We have selected the thirsty lion for its location on the route (for us to the airport. it has great eating, with beautiful salads and superior fishing and chips (after my man. but I just wish there was a part of the restaurant where you could concentrate more on eating and less on the bar atmosphere. but I expect a return.

I ordered avocado toast with 1 poached. I got avocado toast 1/2 the order (2 pieces were burnt) TWO poached eggs. They offered to bring more which I accepted. Then it was avocado bread as bread wasn’t toasted. I was hungry so ate it. We were drinking water iced tea. Waiter wasn’t attentive on beverage service yet I still tipped 20%. Why I did not sure. I drove from Phoenix to Mesa…won’t be back.

We sat outdoors and were comfortable in January. It is an outdoor mall space with live music nearby. Very pleasant.

Our server, Mikenna, was tremendous. She was prompt, provided great recommendations, checked back with us as needed and very friendly and congenial. Definitely a plus to your team and a superb individual.
