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.

    I just found my receipt so I can now mention our server’s name (Madison.) She made the difference. Perfect pacing, good advice and overall great server. Thank you for a good night.

    It was a nice experience. The service was good and the food was average. The live music was enjoyable and the atmosphere was great. I would go back and try different items to see if maybe we just chose poorly.

    I thought the outside seating was in the rear. It was along busy noisy Gilbert Street but it was manageable. Great scratch cooking and good service

    The service was impeccable. Our server was friendly and attentive, he did a great job taking a photo of our table and arranging the birthday dessert. We all thought the food was a little bit “off” this evening. The hummus appetizer was fantastic and the monkey bread dessert was fabulous, but my salmon left something to be desired. it tasted like the sauce was too heavy , almost burned tasting.
