Kobalt

Not Goog Any More

I visited this bar since the first night they opened the door. The owner was nice and friendly, so I went about 4 nights a week. One year later, I found the owner started getting attitude, so I stopped going.... If you want to pay that bar a visit, keep this in mind... The chubby bartender is weird... If you are nice to him, he won't give a shit about you, but if you don't give a shit about him, he will be nice to you...

Love it.

Kobalt is, in my opinion, the best Gay Bar in Metro Phoenix. Most of the people are all friendly without attitude. The drinks are cheap. $5 or so for a Cosmo in a shaker that easily fills two glasses. The help is friendly and the owners are sweethearts. Some times the bar is crowded, others it is slower. Either way I have enjoyed. During the day it can be fun to hang out on the patio.

Almost perfect...almost

I should LOVE Kobalt. It's gorgeous, the drinks are great, the bartenders are cool, and they have great video music. Why don't I gush over this space? Part of it is personal -- there are ALOT of drag queens, and I'm not into drag queens. They take karaoke WAY too seriously here. The trivia nights are fun, but, again, they take it MUCH too seriously. Neverthless, there are alot of positives, so I can't really not like it. I just like, well, BS West better...so you decide.

Welcome addition to Central Phoenix

When I first heard there was a Gay bar in Park Central, I gave it a couple of months. For one thing I wrongly assumed that it was in the old two story bar space. Well these guys have done a fab job of a "Happy Hour" type bar. Mostly people stopping in for a drink after work. Good crowd.
