    I had not been here since they made changes. It was a cool vibe, music was great, and the service at the bar was great. The decor is very cool and the whole place is understated with an edgy flare.

    The service and vibe/decor is a solid 9/10 but the drink i was served was WEAK. I came here already a little flush but i was hoping for a better drink especially since i asked to be surprised (. Still, this is certainly a spot/place to be. They got the hookup on Banh Mi too from Banhdicted!

    Super cool bar I didn't even know existed! They have a great drink selection that has something for everyone. They have live music and great staff. The pool tables are nice but get there early as they only have two and can get crowded pretty quickly. I love the trendy yet comfortable layout of this bar. Whoever designed it, did great! My only complaint would be the lack of food available but they do provide some small snacks and are totally OK with food being delivered to the establishment. A food truck partnership or a kitchen with a small menu would be a great addition. Overall, a great bar with a dive bar feel.

    Great photo opp!

    Zero stars if I could! Not LGBTQ friendly at all. There was no one else in the bar on a week day night so security was on a power trip.

N we ordered our food n we were very well taken care of. Place is old industrial building right across the railroad tracks. Lots of people coming n going . Had wings , cheeseburgers w fries n we tried the tortillas soup which was tasty w a little kick . I only wish it was more temperature hot . I really like my food hot to the table especially soup. Great place to have lots of different craft beers especially their own beers. We had tea since we had errands to run . Come ck this place out it's worth coming to enjoy indoor n outdoor seating .

Pretty interesting building there right on the train tracks. It's got a cool dive bar feel inside with a large beer and food menu, good variety there. I went with a flight to try a few - Mexican lager, Hefeweizen, razzberry, and a mocha Java stout (maybe messed up the names a bit, but you get the idea). The hefe was my favorite, and my husbands, too. The razzberry one was a close second, but I could have done without the other two, not my cup of tea but wanted to give them a try! I don't see Sonoran hot dogs on menus often and being new to Tucson, I've been super curious about them so that was my meal choice. DIVINE. It's hard to mess up a hot dog. But this was a really good hot dog. Would order again and again. The price was right as well - $7! We thought the entire menu was very reasonably priced, compared to others in the area offering similar varieties. My husband had a cheesesteak that he said was really good, he would also order it again. Overall, we had a solid experience. Good beer and good food. I do want to add that this isn't my first time attempting to visit Barrio - we tried once before but were blocked by the train. We tried to wait it out but didn't know how long it would be and gave up after about 15 minutes. Just kind of a bummer of a location for a place with good food and beer. I did see on their menu that they offer $1 off beer if you get stuck because of the train, that is a nice touch. But, there's no perks like that if you are on the other side. It looses a star for that.

    Culinary Dropout is honestly one of those places that's hard to put in just one box--in the best…read moreway. It's part restaurant, part bar, part game hall... and fully a vibe. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't your typical sit-down dinner spot. The lighting is cool, there's a live DJ, and yes--it is loud. Like, don't come here expecting an intimate, quiet dinner kind of loud. This is more "laughing over music, people-watching, and soaking up the energy" kind of place. Now let's talk food, because that's where they pleasantly surprised me. They actually have a legit vegan option that doesn't feel like an afterthought (which I always appreciate). I went with the vegan curry and wow--it was delicious. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor, with a mushroom-forward sauce and sweet potatoes that just worked so well together. We also had the olive oil bread, which was simple but so good, plus almonds and Brussels sprouts that were absolutely worth ordering. Everything felt shareable and fun, which fits the whole vibe of the place. This isn't where I'd go for a quiet date night or a five-star fine dining experience--but that's not what it's trying to be. It's where you go to hang out, eat good food, sip drinks, and just have a really fun time. Would I come back? Definitely.

Service was nice and she was friendly, but she definitely forgot my drink and I ended up going to the bar to grab it myself. Honestly, I'm mainly writing this because of the attached photo.
