Cobalt Cafe

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I used to be in a band a few years ago and we played here quite frequently..I have a lot of memories here. THERE'S JUST NOWHERE ELSE TO PLAY! Unless you played a backyard show. The place stinks, its ugly, and the sound sucks. BUT, like I said, there's nowhere else to go. The hardcore shows used to get pretty packed, everyone would meet up here early and just chill til everything was over. The security guys are good people, they would get me in free to most shows and always took time off to listen to my band when we were playing. Other than that, someone needs to open a new LEGIT venue in the valley. It's been years and this still seems to be the only venue bands can get booked at over here.

I been coming here for years and i was really hoping eventually they would fix it up but i don't think they will. Anyways i was in the pit and i kept slipping because the floor was wet. I saw several people fall and hurt themselves all drunk. I never been a huge fan of the sound quality here. Another thing that always bothers me is how strict their security is, they never even through real shows (rarly)

This place is trash when it comes to venues, The was literally shit in the bathroom the whole time i was there, apparently they have no maintenance or manager to look after the place. The sound quality was down below ground. Never heard such distorted P.A in my life, totally UN-Equalized .  No idea why you would open a venue and have no sound engineers.  the security was not the friendliest not as if they should but they should not be rude. The band was good but like i said the quality was trash. If i was in a band i would not play here for my crowd, it would make my music look bad or not what it should sound like. No i wont come back, plus $12 for this place, nope its like no one cares for it they just open the doors collect the $$$ and leave.
