What we say
Hip lounge downstairs, dance club upstairs, special theme nights
Cobalt is a 17th St mainstay, anchoring DC's gayest street. Cobalt recently renovated interior creates a new sophisticated downstairs lounge while maintaining the pulsating upstairs dance floor. The kinda place you can meet for cocktails and conversation and then, if the mood strikes, take it upstairs for a wilder night out.

i like cobalt cause you can meet in the loungy area downstairs and have a quiet drink with a friend. then, depending on the mood, you can either head upstairs for the dance crown (warming: close quarters and very loud) or downstairs for dinner. or, well, home.

I'm not quite sure why this one building feels it has to have 3 names, but Cobalt/30 Degrees/whatever the first floor is called is a fun time. The music on the 3rd floor (Cobalt) was crazy loud, but the shirtless bartenders were hot, even if they had to make a drink twice 'cause they couldn't hear the order. The second floor (30 Degrees) had loungey seating and was packed with all they boys who wanted to hear themselves think. Fun!

My first time and enjoyed my visit. Friendly and attractive crowd. Good music, small dance floor though. Sexual Energy was in the air. I'd return.

Cobalt and 30 Degrees is a great place for all types. 30 Degrees is on the second level (enter through the Level One restaurant on the street level) and has several couches and nooks for having a private conversation. The bartenders and staff are very friendly and welcoming. A DJ now regularly spins hot tunes on the 2nd level. Attracts all types and ages.
Upstairs, Cobalt can get crowded--especially during their open bar hours--but I've always had fun. Shirtless bartenders are very friendly. Cobalt usually attracts a bit younger crowd. Having a conversation isn't especially easy, but you can go downstairs or outside for that. Music and lights keep the party going.
