Green Lantern: Reviews & Ratings
Great place with friendly staff. Nice vibe. Because of the “situation” bars have to sell food so they offer peanut butter jelly sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, and popcorn. Best damn cheese sandwich I’ve ever had. 10/10. Can’t wait to come back when the world gets back to functioning correctly.
I always have a fun time at Green Lantern. The downstairs bar is very relaxed with friendly bartenders and even a popcorn machine. The upstairs bar and dance floor are often full of fun people. Leather nights are very fun to attend. I just love all the “doggie” masks. Check it out at least once.
Note, only food here is free popcorn. Happy hour is 4-7 every day. All drinks 3.50 each!! Best deal in town! 10/24 update: 3.50 happy hour from 3-7 is still going strong seven days a week!
It is a fun bar. Action expected on Thu / Fri / Sat nights.
By far the best gay bar in DC! Shirtless is always a fun night! My first stop on any visit
One of the best among few that left in the district. Friendly staff good vibe and fun time
Received excellent customer service from Carl. Friendly employees. Peace and relaxing area in the day time Great place to party on the weekends "upstairs" Drinks are great and price worthy .
Truly the only gay dive in DC where you can actually come alone, sit down, and have a conversation with anyone and it not be awkward. Also love that it’s a very body positive space.
