Best Live Music Restaurants in Washington Park

Great food & drinks, great service, fun ambiance. Loved the live music!

It was cold, mostly because where we were seated had a separation between the walls that we didn’t notice. Not the servers fault though, cause we couldn’t be bothered to move. Aside from that, the food was amazing, customer service was great, and it was an overall fantastic experience. We made the drive from the Springs to Denver and I would honestly do it again.

From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with a contagious energy and charm that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Despite being incredibly busy, we were promptly seated and immediately felt right at home. It was refreshing to know we could enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Our server was a standout—friendly, knowledgeable, and always checking in to make sure everything was just right. I can’t recall a single instance where he passed us by without stopping to offer assistance or ensuring our meals met our expectations. His attentiveness added a personal touch that truly enhanced our experience. Even the general and front-end manager joined in on the fun, sharing laughs and engaging with guests, which only added to the vibrant atmosphere. As for the food, it was a solid 8 out of 10—cooked well, good flavor. The drinks complemented our meals nicely, rounding out the experience nicely. Overall, we had a great time. I recommend giving this place a try!

Appreciated the two included plates of sandwiches, as we were still hungry after one. Atmosphere was lively and fun. You could tell the restaurant was running like a well oiled machine for Valentines Day but it honestly added to the ambiance for us, as the servers were polite but not obtrusive, and didn’t try to upsell us on anything we didn’t want. Dessert plate was a little too sweet for our palates but was still enjoyable, overall experience was great. Would do again next year.

We love going to Culinary Dropouts and always feel special when we go. We had Hannah, one of our favorite servers. She is on top of everything and does her job with poise and grace. The hostesses always greet us as though we are movie stars. We love everything about this restaurant. That is why we go two to three times a week! Yay, we love Culiary Dropouts.
