Green Lantern

About this place Green Lantern

The Green Lantern is Washington DC's primary leather and cruise bar — a venue that serves a specific community with functional clarity and without apology. The bar is located just off the main Dupont Circle drag on Green Court and has operated as the city's leather/cruise option for many years. The interior includes a darkroom, multiple bar areas, and the dim lighting appropriate to the venue's function. Regular themed nights cover leather, uniform, bear, and fetish formats. The Green Lantern is not a tourist destination in the conventional sense — it is a working community bar for gay and bisexual men who are part of the leather and kink scene. The Dupont Circle location is convenient to the rest of DC's gay infrastructure, making it an easy add to an evening that might start at JR.'s. For visitors who identify with leather culture, the Green Lantern is DC's primary option and it delivers on that function consistently.
