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.

    The food was terrific, and I strongly recommend you make reservations. If not, you will wait 45 minutes plus

    This place always pleasantly surprises me. I typically do not like chain restaurants but this one is growing on me. The service is consistent and top notch. The food is creative and prepared well. It is a large space so noise levels and ambiance can vary but it has never been bothersome. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

    food and cocktails were tasty and the bar took my special margarita request. Brussel sprouts appetizer was divine! went on late Saturday afternoon and service was great, live music started toward the end of our meal and adds to the ambiance, dress was casual, kind of noisy, but we could hear each other fine without shouting. Parking is a challenge. I recommend using the valet at The Park which is right next to the restaurant. You pay via a link they send to your phone.

    Started coming here a few years back when I lived in Denver. This location is same quality. The food was delicious and service was great. Be sure to snag a reservation though because this place doesn’t have many slow nights.

    Thank you so much for that compliment - we love our team in Denver! Look forward to seeing you again soon!
