At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

    Your parking lot is small to begin with. Why would you sell it out to a party and make it impossible for restaurant guests to park?! And if you knew there wouldn't be parking available, why wasn't that made clear on the reservation. I'll likely never spend another dime at Culinary Dropout.

    Great experience. Great service and great food. Surprisingly enough, the bartenders even knew how to make a drink. My Negroni was very good. Better than what I made at home.
