Launchpad Night Club

This was my second or third time coming to this venue and it will certainly be my last. My friends and I came to see a band and had a horrible experience. A woman walked by while the band was playing their second song and pushed a few people, including myself and my friend. We looked at each other like "what was that about?" Well the woman walked back and pushed us so hard that my friend hit her head against the metal staircase pretty badly. We decided to go outside to get some fresh air and I decided to give the staff a heads up about the woman.I first approached the woman checking IDs and she was understanding and listened emphatically. I told her I wanted to give her a heads up that there was a woman going around pushing people and that my friend hit her head pretty badly. She called a bartender over, old guy with weird pony tails, and he was super aggressive and dismissive. I was still talking to the other staff member and he gives me attitude and tells me I need to tell him what she looks like. I tried to talk to him and he was super annoyed and impatient. I tried to describe her by saying she was short with dark hair, he interrupts me mid sentence to tell me that the description wasn't helpful. I tried to explain that it happened fast and I was just trying to give a heads up so he goes off on me telling me he can't help me if I can't describe her. At this point I just close my eyes and walk outside to comfort my friend. He follows me outside and yells telling me he can't help me if I don't point her out. I told him it was very clear that he didn't want to help and not to bother. We ended up leaving immediately after that. So if you end up getting pushed, injured, or assaulted make sure you have a photographic memory otherwise they're going to yell at you and make you feel like you're wasting their time. This was by far the worst experience I've had in a music venue and I've interacted with the guy who manages The Sunshine Theater, so that's really saying something. Thank you Launchpad for a terrible night and for not taking customer injuries seriously. I hate the fact that I spent money at your venue to listen to two songs and get yelled at by your staff.

Cute place! I went here for a comedy show. It gets a little stuffy in there with all the people crowded inside but it's a good place to watch a show :)

Great place for local bands to get a start and be heard. Have to love this place. About 7 local bands tonight. All kinds of music going on. Love it

Went to see a band play, and the drinks where strong! as a feminine trans woman I felt safe in this establishment! I definitely will be coming back soon.

Awesome venue. Cool staff and great place to see a show! Sound system is good and was nice to chill on the front patio. Can't wait to return

First time coming to Lunchpad to see Demon Hunter. Venue is too small for a band like Demon Hunter. Between the merch stand and all the people, we couldn't find a place to see the band, both main floor and top floor viewing area were packed. All we we're able to do was sit at a table on the top floor and listened. If I wanted an experience like this, I would just got to a bar, play pool, and listen to my ear pods at full value. Very disappointed in the venue size..., don't plan on returning...

Launchpad is one of the smaller venues I've been to. The 21+ entrance is in the front while people under 21 enter through the back. For the concert I went to, I didn't actually pick up a ticket at will call. They just had my information and checked me off a list to get in.Only people who are 21+ are allowed on the balcony. There were only about 10-12 seats up top.Anyone is allowed on the main floor. The sound is pretty good all over, and the venue provides an intimate concert experience.It got really stuffy and hot by the middle of the opener's set. I felt like I was going to pass out as the show went on, so I went back to the bar to get some water. I'm not sure how people under 21 could've gotten water because there was someone monitoring who could enter the bar area. I didn't see/notice a water fountain anywhere. If I felt like I was going to pass out just standing on the side of the venue, I can't imagine how people in the middle of the packed crowd felt. I also saw the main singer give out two water bottles to the crowd, probably because he noticed they were looking pretty dehydrated as well.There was also a sketchy speaker with the bottom barely hanging on by a thread. Looked like a hazard if you asked me. The staff was nice and receptive while I was there, so I hope they take this feedback into consideration too.

I went to the Bowling for Soup concert a few years back with my friend . Parking was easy and we felt safe here (despite stories of the Sunshine Theatre down the street). Fun artwork on the walls. Small venue, but that made it easier to interact with the band and for them to sell their tickets at not outrageous prices (I mean, $15 for a concert?? Come on)

Rusty shackleford loves the launchpad ...excellent service and venue for all types of shows ...cool people good spot

Saint Bruno rocked!!!Definitely will be back when they are.Bartender was working his butt off that night.
