Culinary Dropout in Tempe is even cooler than the one in central Phoenix. It feels like a restaurant in an old warehouse building that you'd find back East. The food is great. But it's the atmosphere I really like. There is SPACE everywhere. High loft ceilings, used brick walls, open bars with acres of room in between tables, lots of very attractive wait-staff and 80" flat screen TVs to watch if you're eating by yourself. This place has huge tables for large groups, small intimate settings with fire pits, and even a game toss area in back. It's the kind of hip place you feel comfortable going to if you're by yourself, young or old, or with a large group of friends. Great experience and does not feel like any other restaurant you've been to... !
