Friends of Launch,
There is no easy want to say this, but we are closing our facility effective as of today. Like every restaurant right now, things are tough. Soaring food costs and increased utilities are just a few of the increasing problems in this industry. Our vision at Launch Kitchen and Bottles and Barrels was to elevate modern food and give LaSalle County an incredible Gastropub experience. We refuse to increase prices, cut portions and reduce the quality of our products. We prided ourselves on making excellent dishes that looked amazing and tasted incredible.
On behalf of myself and all the staff at Launch Kitchen and Bottles and Barrels, we would like to thank our loyal customers. Seeing how many people loved our unique dishes and cocktails was genuinely excellent. I want to thank our fantastic staff. I am proud of this group for their hard work in this vision. I built the restaurant and cocktail lounge I wanted to eat and drink in, and I consider myself privileged to share that with our community for the time we had. Thank you for being so supportive, and I wish everyone the best!
