Culinary Dropout

The pretzels and fondue were fabulous! This is a really fun place. I'm visiting from Montana and went back the next day. Harry, our bartender was amazing. He makes a killer margarita.

The best Arnold Palmer I’ve had in the valley, I ended up having three glasses! The service was amazing, the food was tasty. Tip is to reserve ahead and the ping pong tables are fun! We ended up having dinner then coming back for lunch! Same server - she was great, friendly and went above and beyond customer service for us! Definitely will be coming back!

This place is fantastic. The drinks are amazing, the space is fun and lively, and the food is out of this world. My most favorite bite of food I have had in a very long time were the Mongolian Spare ribs. The flavor is out of this world! We had the meatloaf, the French dip, the amazing chips and onion dip and the wings. Give this place a shot. We are so happy we did.

Category: Fine food. For some reason, dining at the Culinary Dropout always feels like a party. Though we have enjoyed some of the other Phoenix/Scottsdale locations, this was the first time we dropped into the Tempe Dropout. We had matinee tix to a show at the Arizona Theatre Company, which is only a short walk away, so we made a lunch rez and sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders. True to form, it felt like a party. Both the dining room side and the open-air Yard side were moderately busy this beautiful Sunday afternoon in early November. The place is really spacious, with high steel-beamed ceilings, exposed ductwork, and skylights. Ceiling heaters make the Yard side usable even in cooler weather. A small stage hosts musicians on Friday and Saturday nights. High-top tab
