Love the venue and events they host! But... The stage blocks the Feng Shui. When there is a drag show, it is such a challenge moving around without getting elbowed. read more

Kobalt - Karaoke Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We came to Kobalt for an event, so I am not sure what it's like normally, but it was a ton of fun and a great crowd. The bartenders were friendly the whole night despite being super busy. There's a HUGE patio that would be perfect for enjoying nice weather. I don't think they have food but there are a lot of places to eat right around it. My only suggestion would be a drink menu of some sort! I never know what to order when there's not a drink menu. read more

Great cocktails and very entertaining nightspot. We felt welcome and included. They had a great carwash for charity last time we were there. Kudos. read more

Bartenders are HORRIBLE! Not paying attention to anything except their phone or themselves. And if they HAVE to, will pour a drink with attitude ESPECIALLY the one with the mullet cut. read more

Kobalt was a fun time! We went for Cirque de so Trey c/o our good friend Ron who is a regular. The drink pour was heavy and the servers were super friendly. The show was fantastic! read more

Kobalt - Karaoke Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So sad. This used to be a good bar. Last two times I went - Friday nights - I was turned away for private events. Tonight I had tickets for the event and I went early because dinner finished early. I was again turned away because they weren't ready. What kind of crap is that from a bar? Disappointing. Check before you go. Being spontaneous? Go someplace else. Plenty of other accommodating places to drink in the valley read more

Love a good bar. Food and drink service was nice. Overall ambiance was really upbeat and fun. They put on very fun events and shows

Took uber out here and it closed two hours early. So I'd recommend checking it's not closing before venturing out.

Didn't have any food, but we had some great drinks and the service was great. Went there for my first drag show and it was a total blast. We all had a great time and the show was so awesome. Highly recommended. Try something different and give it a try. I do t think this is most weekends, so check thier website. read more

I came here with a large group for Wednesday night comedy. They had some really funny stand ups! They have a covered patio with an outside stage as well as inside seating. Parking is limited, however, around the corner in the adjacent lot ( by Starbucks and zips) there is plenty of parking. read more

I came on a Thursday, the wait staff/bartenders were very attentive and kind. The bathroom has the sink and mirror outside of the toilets and I am not sure WHY i like that so much? There isn't any food but the Sage Advice drink certainly hit the spot aa a gin lover. Little heavy on the kiwi (and maybe lime) for me but still delicious. It was a wonderful night, shame I didn't get to stay for karaoke because the opening song sounded amazing ans made me want to stay... insert tears for 5 day work weeks. read more

Kobalt is one of the most fun bars I have visited in Phoenix. Every Thursday there is a show called Cirque du so Trey. It's more than a drag show, they have all kinds of performers (singers, burlesque, etc.) They have many other shows and events but that's the one I frequent the most. Bartenders are friendly and make strong drinks worth your money read more

Kobalt - Trey - Karaoke Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Awesome vibes and great drinks! Really enjoyed the karaoke night! Staff is amazing, I appreciate the waitresses for their hard work!

Fun place for happy hour and late night cocktails. Great entertainment as well. Fun for groups of friends

The Kobalt is not the same. It's cold and empty most days. It's not friendly. They spent slot of money on it but. I miss the warmth of the old spot. read more

The bartenders are cool, but the karaoke DJ is the WORST. He reorders the song queue, so he can sing multiple songs before you even sing one song. And when you try to queue multiple songs (since there's 20 people in the queue), he purposely skips you since you've already sang once. If you're trying to do karaoke, go to any other karaoke bar, because this DJ is so awful, and his voice sucks. Go to Grape Vine instead. read more

Went to Kobalt tonight for trivia the host was great and trivia was very fun. My partner waited at the bar in the well for 20 minutes was never acknowledged. We finally grabbed a table and waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to come over. They also have numerous flags representing the LBGT plus community with the exception of the Bi flag. Being Bi I'm used to being under represented in the community but clearly it's an exclusion at Kobalt. read more

Do not buy tickets for the Rupaul events! One you buy them you are on your own and outta luck if you need to speak to someone regarding the tickets. No response in weeks even after sending around 5 emails. I even emailed the bar to ask who to reach out to and nothing. They sure took my money for the event in a matter of minutes. Response time and call back is non existent. read more

Kobalt has been one of my favorite bars in the valley for a long time! Abel is a great bartender and the shows they have here are amazing!!! HOWEVER most recently i went and was appalled by the bartenders behavior. The twink with the mullet had charged me $14 then give me $4 in change from a twenty. So clearly math isn't his strong suit. i waited for the other bartender to be free, she charged me $6 for the beer and $8 for a jamie shot with a coke back!! - $14 third round i waited for pretty lady but got serve by mullet twink again :( $18 for the same drinks miss pretty just charged me $4 less for!!!! and his pour was way off. missing at least a half oz. i bartend too. then he tried to tell me the difference was in the coke... like why are you charging me for soda??? you weirdo. so yeah avoid the gay with a mullet if you don't want to be ROBBED read more

It's a beautiful bar and the drag shows are great but do not ever serve a classic cocktail in a damn plastic cup! If I'm spending $15 per drink and asking for top shelf alcohol I want it in a real glass. Please take that into consideration. read more

Extremely bad service very rude the drinks and shots are expensive you'll be better off going to the liquor store and going home! their attitude was bad like they dont want to work there this place sucks i did not like anything about this place its so bad the bathrooms smell like homeless people i just don't get why anybody goes there read more

This is a 3 star bar. It's not that staff is non-friendly. It's that they are indifferent. 2nd time I've come to this bar and couldn't get a drink. Again it's not that the staff isn't friendly. It's they are indifferent and that's the worst. Prices are the same anywhere else. Patio is nice and drag shows are good. read more

Kobalt - Karaoke Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We drove far to come experience this place last night. There was an amazing karaoke singer and it was her birthday (maybe 21st bday!) so my girlfriend and I asked the bartender to send her a drink and the bartender was trying to be cute and told us we should go over and talk to her at the table. We were extremely uncomfortable because obviously we were a couple and a conversation really didn't need to be had with a stranger just to do something nice for her birthday. They had a table of about 10-15 people. So we just asked if she could find out what she was drinking and have that drink sent over to her. She said they all work as a team and that because she didn't know her drink she couldn't make it happen. Finally we got the attention of another bartender who said he was their bartender and KNEW exactly her drink and made it happen! What followed with Kat was shameful and absolutely unprofessional. Kat began to wink at me making me even more uncomfortable and then got extremely rude with my girlfriend and when my girlfriend started asserting herself for the position she was putting us in she got more antagonizing and just weird. She started coming over and asking us if we needed anything "friends". My girlfriend thought she'd just nip it in the butt to end it and apologized for any misunderstandings and Kat responded by telling her that in Arizona people are just friendly and at even one point she referred to her as "Ms. Los Angeles". Completely juvenile behavior. Both of us were completely upset and left early. I'm assuming she may have been the head bartender by her egotistical comments to my girlfriend. I am native to Arizona and have lived here my entire life, never have I had such a terrible uncomfortable experience from someone who is suppose to be giving a person costumer service. Especially after we tipped 50%. To top it off she went out of her way to find me on Facebook and asked to add me. She took my information from my visa card and decided it would be appropriate to add me to her Facebook THE FOLLOWING day. No, we can't be friends.... I have included pictures of my response and her response and then blocked her. (There is also a video I included from the end of the night but I think it's under the video section) Watch your girlfriends around this one ladies! Kat if you are reading this please learn from this experience. After all, a mistake is only a mistake IF you learn from it. You mistook our hoodies for something else on a Saturday night. We are hard working and educated working professional women in our 30's. It is not welcomed or cute. Have some respect for your community and the business that employs you. read more

We had the BEST time at Saturday karaoke. Staff was so awesome, drinks were great and so reasonably priced. 10/10 immaculate vibes. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came for the drag show on Saturday night and stayed for a great time at karaoke. Drinks are reasonably priced - service was as good as any busy Saturday night bar and people were welcoming. It's a fun time and a great gay bar that's friendly to everyone! Worth it - try the mango special craft cocktail !!! read more

Came here on a Saturday night for a drag show with a group of friends. We reserved a table so we had a spot on the right side of the stage next to the DJ. Was a very fun and entertaining 2 hours show. Each of the Queens were entertaining and really engaged with the audience. We all sang and danced the entire night. Loved it! read more

Best show every Thursday, Cirque du so Trey!! Drag, circus, burlesque, singing, they have it all. read more

What a joke I am here for bingo. Ordered a coke no liquor, price $3.25 mabe an 10 ounce glass at best. When I requested a refill was information it would be another $3.25. It's coke it cost them pennies. I realize it's a bar they sell liquor but I'm here for bingo I probably will not return. I was here a few weeks ago for a different bingo event and the bartender took great care of me and my soda loving ass. read more

This is the very first review I have ever left on yelp. And it is DESERVED. For all the people who had less than amazing experiences, I'm sorry. You were robbed. I took my mom to 4some Revue on Friday for her 60th birthday. And it was a BLAST. Let me start off with our server. I didn't get his name, but he was AMAZING. He appeared to be the only one in the place, leaving him extremely busy with a full house. But he never left me feeling neglected. He always had a smile on and made me laugh like I haven't laughed in years. The queens, oh lawd the QUEENS. They were FIERCE. They put on an excellent show and we seriously loved every single second. To the queen with the red hair who got down on the floor: girl you are AMAZING. Not even a little wardrobe malfunction can stop you. And when it happens, girl you put your crown back on and keep going because you are a QUEEN. The bartenders were busy AF, but they were hustling. All in all, what a night. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Kobalt - Karaoke Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Perfect place to bring a group of people, great first drag show place. Although the drag shows have been lacking on dancing. Drag queens will just walk around and collect dollars. Bartenders are great, Security needs to learn when to just be security. read more

It's a nice place but we went in a Sunday afternoon and there was no one there but the place looked nice

Not a bad place for karaoke on stage. Very nice people even though it's packed, they will still have room to accommodate in a good attitude with a smiling face. Loved the hilarious DJ. I recommend it to people who loves singing and entertainment at the heart of the city. You just have to be patient trying to find the place as the gps wasn't on point as to where it is read more

Fabulous! There's nothing else to say Great service Great show Wished the bathroom were monitored- not so clean on the second hour of drinking read more

Love this place! Great atmosphere, fun bartenders, clean and reasonably priced drinks. I've been coming here for a few weeks now on Thursdays and met some great people and we continue to make Kobalt our meetup. Side note: the bathrooms are always super clean and nicely remodeled. read more

I WAS going to give this place 4 stars, but the crazy bartender demoted Kobalt to 1. I came for the Drag Bingo and encouraged all my friends to come too and join me next time. Nevermind. Ok... Guess nevermind that. We came in, got ids checked, bartender said it was all good, got my drink, played bingo and was laughing. Bartender asked if we wanted more drinks and I said I'll think of something. Everything was fine. Not 5 minutes later I say ok I know what I want and he's like no can't serve you. I ask why, he replies you're not sober. I inform him I've only had half a drink and he's like yea but I can tell with your eyes I don't know what you did before this. Ok so... What happened in 5 minutes? And what about the first drink? I wasn't on drugs and I was not drunk. Not in the slightest. I walked a straight line touching my nose, touched my toes and walked out and everything. I don't know if it's because I'm female, attractive lipstick female... Black or what. Mind you we're the only 2 people there - and I'm trying to give them my money. 2 guys came in and got the friendliest greeting. Is that Kobalts way of saying lipsticks are not allowed? Or is this bartender lazy or what? Eff him. Eff Kobalt. I was President of My own GSA and I do NOT feel safe here. Discrimination at it's finest. Good job on being hypocritical guys! read more

Just moved to AZ 2 weeks ago. Loved the karaoke. Very friendly crowd and great staff! Cheers!

I've never had a worse customer service experience than I had at Kobalt tonight. My wife and I reserved a table tonight for the drag show and when we got to the club and gave our name to the bouncer he said we were not on the list and refused to look at our reservation confirmation. He said there "wasn't much he could do" and proceeded to seat us at the bar and told us he would try and get his boss to help. We never heard from anyone after that and it took us several attempts to even get the bartender to serve us. We now have to file a dispute with our credit card company to try and get back the $35 we paid for our table reservation. This is our first time coming here and we will never come back. They should be ashamed of how they handled this situation. read more

I don't understand why this place was so quiet. Tucked into the retail and business space, Park Central, Kobalt delivers a comfortable karaoke experience bound to entertain your friends. Seriously, people were singing literally the entire time, and that's what it's made for. The bar itself is a narrow hallway with a counter on one side and some tables for the main attraction on the other. I thought it was getting cramped, as it's tough to walk past people with this layout. That would have irritated me had Cat, the awesome bartender, not taken such great care of us all. Prices are more than fair. The patio is great. Everyone is friendly. Someone sang an obscure Disney Musical and I was his biggest fan. I'd definitely come back with my pals no matter how busy it gets. read more
