xBk Live
Night club
ππ Best music venue in the Des Moines metro area. Great performers touring the country come to xBk. Sit eight feet from the stage, meet and maybe share a table with band members. Great sound and lighting attract local music, so xBk is worth following to enjoy music with your friends and meet more.
