Cobalt / 30 Degrees (Closed Permanently)

(422 Ratings)
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.

Great hangout and dance floor!!

Went during a vacation to DC. Seems small at first but fits right in somehow. The staff was friendly and just fine. The music was great that kept you dancing with mostly new songs. Crowd was small at 11pm but got packed a later on. Would definitely go again. This place seemed more modern and just a place to have fun, compared to the one where I live. Would definitely go again.

They Need to work on their website

Someone at Colbalt needs to work on their website besides just the one page. They are missing out on and patrons too of what is going on during regular nights besides Friday.

Remodeled bar & friendly staff

2nd floor bar is remodeled and attractive. 3rd floor dance floor is small, but fun. Bartenders are hot!

Bad on multiple levels.

The bartenders poor mediocre drinks, the crowd is snobby, the staff is rude, and basically, it's not much fun. Shocking that they can charge a cover.

the upstairs sucks

I do not understand why they made the upstairs a white box? it is like they are tring to be somthing they are not, I think the staff needs more personality, and the cc minimum is illegal
