LON's Last Drop

LON's Last Drop
Lauren Cusimano
If you live in Phoenix, it's imperative that you take advantage of the desert climate, which often means finding an ideal outdoor happy hour spot to soak in the gentle sunshine. Many bars can serviceably accommodate this desire, but none beats LON’s Last Drop. Even the drive there is scenic, as it's located on the grounds of the historic (though not overly fancy) Hermosa Inn. The bar gets its name from a painting by Arizona artist Lon Megargee, who founded the Hermosa Inn in the 1930s. The painting is of a cowboy watering his horse from his Stetson hat, and LON’s exudes a similar cowboy energy, with outdoor fireplaces, lots of beer and whiskey and a wood-burning oven that turns out menu items such black Angus beef sliders. Try the house favorite cocktail, the namesake Last Drop, made with High West double rye whiskey, Luxardo apricot, sweet vermouth and blood orange.
