    It's supposed to be an old fashioned. This is not what an old fashioned should look or taste like. Awful!

    the worst old fashioned I have ever had. Obviously, the bartender isn't properly trained. Service was slow on the take. It was obvious the regulars were more important to serve first.

    The website says shirtless men drink for free on June 10th. But when I asked the bartender what kind of free drinks I could get, the bartender shouted rudely, "nothing is free"! I showed him what was on Green Lantern's official website with my phone. He said he didn't care. Again, very rude. Seeing that I wouldn't leave the bar, the bartender asked me to talk to "Howard". The manager, perhaps? Howard impatiently said there was an "error" on their website. Howard acted like it was my problem, not their mismanagement and incompetency. I would be less angry if they were apologetic and explained nicely. Instead I was treated badly with an attitude. Horrible business. Will never spend a dime at Green Lantern. No one should.

    Love the rock 'n roll music that bartender Tom plays. Hate that it's 68° in the bar. Great Happy Hour hangout.

    Good bar near hotels and White House. Could use better, more up to date music. Great price will come back. Crowd 50's plus.

    Cool little jump off spot. It's within walking distance of a bunch of other gay bars and restaurants.

    Not recommended for non-cis men. Clients don't really seem to understand consensual touching, and can be aggressive

    There are drink specials pretty much every night, but the Shirtless and Underwear Nights are always a good time!

    Yelp, please look at Kerry D edits & use your better judgement. She is continually lying on me & my…read moreneighborhood bar & at this point it's very telling of her behavior that night.. This review is in response to Kerry D. The fireplace is a place of peace and safety. The issue started when she went to the women's restroom and started shouting to someone that she assume identified as male & what body parts they may have had that "you don't belong in a woman's restroom" she harassed the individual all the way to the bar. What Kerry doesn't know is that the women's restroom is singles stalled & have a lock for the safety of those who don't identify as male. Kerry didn't know that & didn't bother to understand because Kerry D never bother genuinely needed to use the restroom. Once there at the bar she tried to get the bartenders attention but only sat there with her hand up. The bartender didn't notice her. So security stepped in to meditate the situation. She shunned off security with both her shoulder and her arm until security announced that they were the proper authority to address about the situation. Once she finally acknowledged security she asked them to step to there top of the stairs. Once there she proceeded to lie and say that the individual coming out of the bathroom just started randomly screaming at her. Security asked what was said and she seem to not be able to remember. Once questioned about what did the persons gender have to do with allegedly yelling at her because she was asked "if this person yelled at you what do their gender have to do with the situation at hand" She had no rebuttal. She VOLUNTEERED to leave the premises. Security escorted her down stairs out the door but she insisted on going to TO THE BARTENDERS at the bottom bar where she then tried to lie about her interactions AGAIN with both security and the patron. The bartenders then attempted to take control over the situation to further try to Meditate the situation but yet again was combative. Kerry D asked for the managers name. What Kerry D didn't know was that it was a manager on duty. When she was instructed to speak with the manager on duty She threw a fit for reasons unknown..When the manager tried to meditate the situation and asked what happened. Kerry didn't want to explain. There was not any three big men against her. Nor was she assaulted at all. Not even when she was asked to leave the bar again. All employees were very patient with Kerry D until she refuse to cooperate & was asked to leave again. She was leaving out & still threw an unknown substance from a water bottle on her friend, bar employees, & patrons. Everyone from strangers to bar employees were all nice to Kerry D but Kerry D was not happy that her entitlement at there bar earned her any leverage over what was right and what was wrong.

From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere was warm, the staff were incredibly kind, and everyone made us feel right at home.
