What can I say about the launch pad? Well, let me start by saying it is a great place to see a band you may have never heard of but will leave loving, and 1.50 pabst blue ribbons rule the night. It is truly a club worth checking out over and over again.
- Pros: great live shows, Cheap drinks, lively atmosphere
- Cons: Smokey, small bathrooms
