What Mudl does for your bar

Mudl puts your bar in front of people choosing where to drink.

It's how Asheville finds its next cocktail bar, and its next usual there.

Explore

Locals find you while they choose where to go.

Every bar's menu, nights and photos sit in one place, so people pick a bar by what it pours.

With friends

Their friends see where they went.

A check-in shows friends the bar and the drink, and a good night gets shared.

Everywhere

Your page shows up everywhere guests look.

In Mudl, in web search, in your Instagram bio, and on your bar.

How to use the logo
  • Always use the file. Never set the name in a typeface. In a sentence the name is Mudl.
  • Wordmark and lockup: copper or bone on dark grounds, ink on light grounds.
  • Very small, under 64px wide: use the M-mark.
  • The seal is the round coaster mark. Keep the whole circle and never crop into its ring.
  • Clear space: one cap height on every side.
  • Never add a shadow, gradient, skew, rotation, outline or bevel, and never redraw the letters.
  • Do not recolour or stretch it, and do not set it beside another brand without their OK.
  • mudl-coaster-mark.png is the photographed coaster. Set it on Ink, or another dark, warm ground.
  • In a line Mudl is a cocktail app that knows your shelf and the bar down the street.
  • Our line Well-poured.
  • Tag us @mudl.app
  • About Mudl, for your post Mudl is Asheville's cocktail scene in one place: every bar's menu, what's on tonight and where friends are heading. We want to get Asheville excited about their local cocktail scene.

Brandon and Rachel

You're the bar they just haven't met.

Brandon and Rachel grew up around Asheville, and they've always come into town for a night out. They kept wanting to try somewhere new and never knew where to start. Brandon spent hours on Reddit and Google, sure there was an easier way. Mudl is that easier way, built to support the local businesses pouring into our communities.

Mudl is locals finding your bar, their usual drink there, and sharing it with their friends.
