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.

    Surprisingly busy for a Monday night. However we were able to use Open Table to make a last minute reservation and so glad we did. The food was excellent! Service was great and a perfect evening out with coworkers before a week full of meetings.

    Went for dinner w my teenage son and his friend. Had a great experience. Yummy food. Live band. Attentive service. Fun vibe. Busy on a Saturday night, but we were seated just a few minutes after we arrived. I called ahead to say we were running 15 minutes behind and they switched our reservation for us. Would definitely recommend and would return. Had pretzels w cheese sauce, Caesar salad, steak frites and squash and kale salad w salmon. Everything tasted good.
