I love that place. Reminds me of CBGBs in nyc
Always a fun time and good music. It's fun to see local and smaller unknown bands when they play here it's a great way to learn about new good music u might not hear on spotify yet haha
I watched the underachievers here and it was great and so much fun!
This is a great venue I have been going to since I was a teen. They have a bar and usually serve pretty good drinks, but no food. They also have a vending machine with soda and water. If you are underage, enter at the back of the building. You can leave the building to smoke, but you have to stay in the designated area or they won't let you back in. Bathrooms here suck. Sometimes the stall doors don't shut or there is no toilet paper etc. but I feel like that is an unfortunate norm smaller music venues. There is an upstairs balcony with seats, a few arcade games, and a pool table. I have no idea who you talk to to get pool supplies.
Four stars because the last two shows we went to only had three bands with doors opening at 7pm yet somehow headliners weren't on until after 11pm and both were on week nights. Sorry, but I don't want to wait for a band to start until 11:45pm on a Tuesday night.
Update: The show on 11.20.17 only had three bands with doors at 7 and the headliner came on at 9:30. I'm happy to update my rating to 5 stars if they can repeat.
Good venue for music and drinks. Can get pretty loud as the space is small but they bring in good acts on the regular.
The sounds guys and acoustics here/house shound is amazing here, great live music! Beer is cold and selection is great!
This place was great. They had a live band going when i got there and everyone inside were welcoming.
Check the music/event before you go.
Marginally interested, appropriately decorated dive bar wait staff await. Though adequate, you're not at this kind of place for top shelf service: If the music doesn't carry the night, nothing else willnot even cheap PBR. Use your cover charge wisely and your applause discriminatelylest you give a crappy local band reason (and/or hope) to fulfill their hobby beyond a girlfriend's testimonial and the rattling of a poorly insulated garage.
Does ANYONE throw house shows anymore? At all? Has anybody graduated from that lately? No? Well, there are always touring bands to influence their way into the current year.
Balancing your music patron ideal vs. your actual service rendered is a tip conundrum that will endure, just don't be the guy that doesn't tipno matter how long it took or how many times they passed you.
"Day of" concert cover is always five bucks extra than advertised (if this is not already common knowledge to you) which is normal. Street parking and lot parking. Modest patio and stage overlook on the second floor. Holds 150 on a good day. 300 on their best day ever.
There are a lot of good artists/musicians that perform at the Launchpad. The security is very experienced, the management is professional but the bartenders are very prompt with their services. Also the climate is WAY too hot in the warm seasons. Which is the reason why I rate 4/5 stars.
Great venue for an intimate show! #launchpadrocks
Cool tour packages, cool atmosphere. Needs some new arcade cabinets though, as the ones they have are in disrepair
Great venue for live music! Good prices for PBR!
Best of the Joe Anderson spots. Amazing jem of venue!
Went to see a friend's band play here. Nice bar and cool stage area. Great place to support local bands and musicians. Will be back for more!
