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 had the prime ribbon sandwich and it was really good. I bit on the expensive side, but good.

    DJ was playing great music, it may be loud for some people (I saw a younger kid walking out with his ears plugged) but if your looking for that vibe it was great. Good food and drinks.

    Very cool place, fun with good food and cocktails. Definitely very loud as the DJ was playing load starting at about 6:30 pm. Would prefer if the load music kicked in about 9:00 pm.

    Hostess and servers were awesome. There was also other personnel that moved around tables ensuring everything was going well! This very appreciated. I will try something ,food wise, differently next time. Drinks/ wine was very appreciated and very good. I would go back for sure!

    Love the atmosphere and vibe of this place. Overall food was good, good selection of apps and enjoyed the choose your own adventure on the charcuterie board. Downers were very slow service, received wrong meal and was offered the replacement, however due to already delayed timing of food, I declined, but did not receive any discount so that was annoying. Just know before you go it will be a 2-hour dinner. The place was not busy either.... still worth a try!

    This place is so fun! If the service picked up a notch it would be stellar and the prices for pretty simple food wouldn’t rub. I have to say that every time I’ve been here recently my servers have been so doused in perfume that it made my eyes itch. It almost made me happy when I didn’t see them for awhile.

We have shared this information within our teams to prevent future poor dining experiences (especially with perfume). We hope you can give us another opportunity to serve you better in the future.

    We go here each time we visit Tucson but this visit was sub par. They didn’t seem busy on a Sunday night but it still took about 2 hours to get our food. Our waiter barely talked to us and didn’t seem happy to be there. Food and ambience was still good.

    I ordered 4 things before I landed on something the kitchen wasn’t out of. They comped me a beer, but not exactly first-class inventory management.
