About Us

At Cobalt Jacket & Co., we don’t believe a good bar needs to be flawless — but it should always feel right. From neighborhood dives to destination breweries to refined restaurants, we create places where hospitality, character, and community come first. We’re here to keep the neon glowing, the taps flowing, and the stories alive, while making sure the basics are better than you’d expect.

Our vision was inspired by our friend Thomas “Tommy” R. (1984–2011), who knew better than anyone that a good bar isn’t about perfection — it’s about people. Tommy lived for that world, and in many ways, this company is our way of carrying his spirit forward. For him, it didn’t take much — just a cheap pair of sunglasses and a clean restroom — to make a place worth staying awhile. Every pint poured, every jukebox song played, and every laugh shared is part of that legacy.

We’re not just building trendy hotspots. We’re building lasting places — from the kind you stumble into once and return to for years, to the kind you seek out to mark a special occasion. Each spot feels like home in its own way, where the regulars become family, and every detail — from the wood bar top that’s heard every story to the carefully curated menu — tells a story of its own.

Here’s to the places that live on long after last call — in the memories we carry with us.

In memory of Thomas “Tommy” R. (1984–2011)
Gone on his last call too soon, but always with us in spirit.

About King of the Lab

I created King of the Lab as a place to experiment, question, and share the ideas that keep me up at night. Some topics I dive into because I’ve worked with them directly. Others are simply areas I’m curious about and want to understand more deeply.

My drive has always been to look at new-to-me industries differently—questioning how they operate today and where they might go tomorrow. I’ve never been one to follow the straight path; instead, I spot patterns that let me jump ahead, moving from A to C without needing B. It’s like leaping forward to the next train car while others are still weaving their way through the aisles—getting ahead, then waiting as others catch up.

This site is my lab bench. It’s where I break down what I’m learning, test theories, and connect the dots between business, technology, creativity, and whatever comes next. King of the Lab isn’t fixed to one niche—it’s about following innovation wherever it leads.

If you’re here, you’re part of that journey too.

— Matt Barnes, Founder of King of the Lab
