The Green Lantern offers something for everyone, be it a happy hour drink after a long day at work or hundreds of shirtless men out on a Thursday night, kick starting their weekends. Other DC bars have tried to imitate this event, but the Lantern was the first to offer this long-running event. Make sure you do not miss the Lantern’s famous “Shirtless Men Drink Free” event every Thursday night from 10pm-11 pm. The second floor bar offers a more club-like atmosphere with great sound, lighting and video systems. This is the one place in DC where everyone gets along with each other.
Open for happy hour everyday at 4pm, the first floor rectangular, granite-topped bar lends itself well to easy interaction among both long-time regulars as well as new arrivals.
Now open for over 10 years, the “Lantern,” as most regulars call it, has long been known for its exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. Located in a brightly lit alley just off Thomas Circle at the southern end of Washington DC’s trendy 14th Street corridor, the Green Lantern offers a comfortable friendly ambience that will make anyone feel right at home. A DC institution and a favorite neighborhood bar offering something for everyone is really the best way to describe the Green Lantern.
