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.

A solid gay bar for men. Downstairs they play appropriate/good music & videos; drinks are strong and reasonably priced; bartenders are hardworking and nice to look at. Clientele is mostly men (thank god); various ages/demographics make for a nice mix and some potential hook ups. Upstairs can be hit or miss music wise. A nice space for dancing, good air conditioning and again a solid bar/drink experience. Restrooms with working stall doors and fairly clean are much appreciated...
