About QCMix

QCMix is an independent editorial platform focused on the bartending, bar, and live music ecosystem of the Quad Cities.

The site exists to document what is actually happening on the ground — which venues are operating, where music is being booked, and how service-industry professionals work and connect in this region.

Coverage Area

QCMix covers venues and industry activity within the Quad Cities, including Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and Silvis.

Venues outside this area are not included unless they explicitly operate as part of the Quad Cities nightlife or music circuit.

Editorial Standards

  • Venues listed on QCMix must be currently operating, newly opened, or have a confirmed upcoming opening date.
  • Operating status, hours, and offerings are verified using public sources such as official websites, social media, and direct venue communication.
  • QCMix does not accept payment for basic inclusion in editorial listings.
  • Sponsored placements or paid features, when offered, are clearly labeled and separated from editorial content.

The bar and music landscape changes frequently. If information on QCMix is outdated or incorrect, corrections are welcomed.
