Culinary Dropout

Culinary Dropout serves the very best in unique gastro-pub fare that quietly seeks out future musical superstars who wouldn’t mind being paid whiskey and pretzel bites. We’re not easily definable and even harder to forget. And we did that on purpose so you could come and hang out.

I do not give this compliment easily...because I have lived in WV with some of the best cooks for fried chicken ! They have the best fried chicken I have had since I left WV in 1986! Yum. A must try!

Coming here is always a treat. It's a little pricey but SO worth it. Make sure to order their pretzels and melted cheese as an appetizer !! It's basically fondue but with pretzel rolls !! So good.

Phoenix New Times

Expect 18 beers on tap & dozens more by the bottle,16 wines by the glass plus Culinary Dropout's signature cocktails . And, of course, there's a happy hour , offered 3 to 6 pm Monday through Friday. Read more

I come here for their pretzel fondue and their After School Special - both are fabulous tasting! Their actual meals are great also, but these two are the best in my opinion. I love the openness!

Phoenix New Times

This is a bar where you can take anyone for a decent drink & a good time. When the weather allows the patio offers games & comfortable seats that lend themselves perfectly to drinking the day away. Read more

Our favorite was the pretzel fondue . Almost didn't order but kept reading on here how good it was. We are visiting from California. Love the concept.

Phoenix New Times

We usually go to Culinary Dropout at The Yard to take advantage of the ping-pong tables, corn hole , shuffleboard , and 1,400 square feet of patio space . Read more

If you're tired of Uber's shenanigans, use Fare to get to and from here. Pick your driver, refer others and get ride credits for life. Schedule in advance.

CP Drewett

Top to bottom great place. I am inspired with the vision it took to repurpose this location into what is now I hope a Phoenix Landmark ... BTW-any sandwich with the pretzel bun is a solid decision!

Ashley Batrouny Tasse

Great restaurant with a nice selection of American fare … the pretzels and fondue are like crack and a must for an appetizer !!!

Robert. Luna

Such an awesome place to watch football on the weekends. Great food, allot of flat screens , plenty of beers on tapand in between you can even play cornhole !

Ben Hernandez

Great atmosphere and incredible food .. Cheers .. Soft pretzels and provolone fondue never disappoint :)

Devra Fitch Bianco

Don't check out the equipment.they want $10 for a ping ping paddle if u accidentally drop it and their crappy stuff breaks! And watch out for Jason, the yard Nazi, he is over the top.get a life Jason!

Rhonda Bertucci

Great place, food is good, wait staff fun. The place looks fanatic , the yard (patio ) is a great place to just hang out with friends.

Culinary Dropout at 6 minutes drive to the east of Desert Sage Family Dental Phoenix AZ

Nicole LaPeruta Beach

Pretzel fondue and monkey bread are a must. Great atmosphere and our waiter was awesome!

Michelle Owens

It's fantastic the salted Carmel pudding and prime rib French dip rock!!!

Angie Ippolito

I really enjoyed the turkey pastrami . It has slaw and spicy mustard on a pretzel bun . Very tasty.

Joe Moore

Huge bites of pretzels are the way to go.

Jonathan Bascones

Laura G Adams

Everybody says it, but it's true: the pretzel ball and fondue app is a must!

Barbara W

If you haven't been yet, stop in. This place is cool and the service is great!

Rob Repta

Two thumbs up! Wanted hot tea and since it not on the menu they actually went out and got some especially for me.

BeerNerd

Fried chicken was really good, potato , sausage and kale soup was also great.

Dawn Livesey

Super fun as long as it's not busy. Awesome games and love the beer in a bag!

Veronica Armstead

Don't skip the pretzel cheese fondue . Super yum!

Ryan Hawk

Better then the Scottsdale location . You are stupid if you don't get the fried chicken and a pickle back !

William Brazil

Try any combo under the antipasta menu!

Shawn Wright

Cool place to hang out with a unique atmosphere.

Nowhere Man

Good food. A bit pricey , but I'd go again for an occasional splurge

Jill Murphy

Don't go hungry. It's not that the food isn't good. It's good. It's that the wait is long. Some of the menu items are the same as what you find in their Scottsdale location or at Arrogant Butcher .

Rachel Amorin

During good weather outside seating fills up fast. Get here early!

Jenn Frass

The pretzels and provolone fondue is to die for!

Daniel Morris

Bar is cool, nice concept overall. But service was slow...wait, nonexistent, at the table we finally got

Michael Mazzocco

The space was interesting and the concept is very cool. Unfortunately the music was way to loud , the wine list lacked depth (nothing French or esoteric) and the food was completely forgettable. Yawn!

Colleen Sullivan

Spent New Years Eve here, great experience. Free champs!

Kayla Young

Expect to wait! The yard works in a strange way when it comes to seating. Do not pass up the pretzel fondue !

ADRIENNE STARR

The food here is usually great.

Kimberly J

Meant to leave this pic of the pretzel fondue

Chelsey Misner

Get the pretzel appetizer ! It's the bomb.

Ragan Wadsworth

Amazing!!! Amazing!!!! Amazing!!!

Gina Chesebro

Did not enjoy this place. The portions were good but not anything else. It is loud , the food is overpriced, very limited menu, rude servers and it took forever for the food to come and it was cold.

Lauren Parra

Amazing playground for adults!!!

Christina Worden

We really wanted to try this spot-unfortunately after waiting 15 min at the bar w/no service we then were informed that we had lost our table. I expect more out of a FRC establishment!

Lisa Patel

Great drinks, board games , patio

Arizona Moe El

The food was outstanding and on the patio they had corn hole .

Rhyan Brandt

Ping ping and beer are you kidding me!!!
