The Green Lantern has a mellower bar downstairs, while the 2nd floor is more frisky and clubby. It attracts a slightly older crowd, and there are all kinds of daily promotions – free beer for shirtless men Thursday (10pm to 11pm), Monday karaoke etc. All in all there’s a hairier, bear-ier crowd here than at many other DC gay bars.
