Venue review

The musician's read

Mullets Uptown is an Ankeny restaurant and rooftop bar that uses live music as part of its nightlife and private-event mix. Rock, pop and acoustic acts fit the social rooftop setting. Musicians should expect a mobile hospitality crowd and plan a set that can pull attention without requiring everyone to stand facing the stage.
