Joe Barr

Good little dive bar type place. Was there for a live show which was great. Separate room that was great for small shows like this. If I lived near here I could see myself becoming a regular.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. I've been here a few times and have enjoyed my experiences in the past but this is NOT a Safe Space. "The inmates rule the prison." The Green Lantern has been compared to its sister bar in Louisville and in no world is this place related to that bar. Would not suggest.

Been going here for around 11 years now. Still my favorite venue in town. Simple and easy. It's home 11 years ago. It's home now. It's home forever. Lantern 4ever 💛

Excellent dive bar with great staff and pretty decent beer selection. Full bar if you want a cocktail -- my wife was very happy with her gin drink. They've got their head in the right place for sure.

This rating is based on category. If you want a proper dive bar with a jukebox (TouchTunes) that’s got stickers and graffiti this is the spot. Bartenders were super friendly as were the patrons.

Seeingthe legendary UNDERGANG at the Green Lantern has been the highlight of my month. Great bands, decent priced beer, will be back for the next heavy show 🤘

What a cool local bar we found as tourists! Loved this place. Bartender was okay, not super customer service friendly. But the atmosphere and drinks were great!!
