Kobalt

It is Ok..keep listening owners it will be great!

The bar started off on a good foot, the bartenders are attentive now, and the drinks are good, and they remember my regular drink. Good job! The old Karaoke guy was good, the new guy is not so good, he caters to his friends andnot anyone else. Karaoke, LLC go away. Otherwise, the location is good, the place is clean and the music is comparable to other bars. Get some really current music, like be the first to pull some things for NY or Chicago.... be a trendsetter Kobalt! You can do it

Down town still lacks...

Midtown Phoenix is still in need of either the light rail to connect these bars. Or a higher concentration in one area to allow a pedestrian friendly area. I think this bar is located in a good center, I think there should be more to choose from in this center. Maybe like Lincoln in South Beach, you build it and they will come. Yes the bar is clean people are friendly, but where are all the hotties?

Good atmosphere

I work downtown and this place is very clean & modern, with a friendly staff and a good crowd. I like it.

Beautiful Setting, But Not Much Else Going for It

I have been to Kobalt twice now. I am done. The first time I went, I saw Three Olives Cherry Vodka on the shelf, so I asked for a cherry drop martini. The bartender looked at me and said, "How do you make that?" So, I opted for a Cosmo thinking that would be easier. It was the WORST Cosmo I ever tasted -- so much so that I gave it away. It could have been used as paint-thinner. I returned with a group of friends to experience their "piano bar" on a Saturday night. FALSE ADVERTISING! It is not "piano bar" -- it's some guy at the piano playing background music. No one sang -- not the piano player, and not any of the patrons. In fact, at one point, the pianist started playing "Over the Rainbow" and NO ONE SANG ALONG! Clearly, the place should lose its gay card. (Note: Perhaps no one sang because the tune was being played in a key suitable only for Ethel Merman.) In spite of our disappointment with the music, we thought we would enjoy a few cocktails while sitting outside on the patio. It took FOREVER for our server to even take our order. And, once the first-round was served, he was nowhere to be found again. But, I guess that was just-as-well, as the drinks were horrible yet again. Not one of us in our group of nine thought our drinks were well-mixed. So, after lousy drinks, horrific service, and disappointing entertainment, we left and went to Amsterdam. At least they know how to mix a good martini there.

Finally! Phoenix Needs a Place LikeThis!

The staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere was great. This is a place that the Phoenix gay bar scene has needed for a long time. Finally a bar with nice people who work and go there! Nice change. This is my bar from now on.
