Love it!

I was actually right behind the guy that posted that last review when he went to the far end of the bar and said something to the effect of, "This lemon (something) sucks," and rambled on. He was rude, but the staff obliged him. It was the second night they were open, and they didn't anticipate such a crowd after their "soft opening" the night before. I spoke to one of the co-owners, and he said that they just didn't expect such an interest that early on. The staff was awesome. I had been there the night before, and the bar was packed, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The crowd was great - really personable people, no attitude. The bar's atmosphere is wonderful - nicely decorated, nice ambiance, live piano music. The drinks are very reasonably priced. Their intent is not to make as much money as they can like many of the other bar owners in town are doing. These guys sincerely want to have a decent place for people to hang out at and feel comfortable no matter what they are wearing, no matter their lifestyle. It's my boyfriend and my new bar of choice, and I don't think there will be any other.

Nice Atmosphere BAD Drinks

Went to Kobalt last night for the first time with about 8 freinds. We all really liked the atmosphere piano, candles, nice lighting. After getting a table, we went up to the bar to order drinks and were told by the bartender that the waiter would come by for our order. So, after waiting for about 10 minutes, a waiter did appear. We placed our order and when the drinks finally arrived with the waiter coming back three times. The Martinis were all awful. Now I've had great Martinis and bad Martinis, but girlfriend, these were awful. I think you could have used them to take your nail polish off. The five of us that had ordered Martinis didn't say anything to each other at first, until I finally said " Ok my drink sucks" then everyone else agreed. When it cam time for a second round we switched to beer...safer choice :) This bar could be a great place to hang out, but they really need to work on the service and get some help that can mix a decent drink!
