The Green Lantern Bar

Love this bar. Free pool, and an awesome atmosphere. I recommend going every day for the rest of your life.

Green Lantern is one of my favorite dive bars! Interesting people and strong drinks makes for a great date or friend night.

We went on a Tuesday night. Its kinda divey but the drinks and beers are cheap enough. The crowd is an electic mix of people which made it really interesting to people watch . They have a taco truck parked outside and by the looks of it the food is pretty good. There's also a small patio where you can sit and smoke if you choose. I'm guessing one of the regulars had their dog in the bar and how well behaved she was! It's truly the definition of neighborhood bar. They do have a small stage for live music as well.

The Green Lantern is an iconic bar in Lexington. The owners put a lot of love into this space and it shows! There's a tiki bar run daily on one side with coffees and, of course, boozy coffees. They post their schedule monthly on their Facebook page and have plenty of nights that are open if you're just looking for somewhere to grab a quick drink or get away with friends to chat.The staff is friendly and well versed at the bar.Definitely recommend!

Remember your quirky dive college bar with cheap prices and great live music and a pool table? Well this is Lexington's version

Why walk when you can literally fly? The moon's got nothing on this satellite office of Heaven. This dump serves exactly what you need exactly where you need it . Creative drink specials such as the "Truly F*cked" and "Hamms" keep me coming back again and again. Pool table. Juke Box. Live music. FREAKS. What more do you need?

The place stinks, literally. It's been how many years since Lexington became smoke free? Why does this place still smell like smoke?! Dust, smoke, whatever exactly it messed with my allergies for hours. This place has fans though, almost to the point that I felt like an outsider crashing someone's party. I just didn't get it. Maybe I came on a wrong day. The female bar tender had a bit of an attitude, one of the taps wasn't working but she made a mean Dixie moonshine concoction though... For the size, I'm not sure that it was worth $8 though. The free pool on Wednesdays and Sundays gains at least an extra star. Even though there's only one table, the Sunday that we were there it was dead, so the table was open.

I've tried this bar a few times and just don't feel it. I never end up staying past one drink. I know tons of people who love this bar and know it has many regulars, so there must be something to it. I just have felt not-so welcomed when I've been. Drinks are a little pricey for what you get, and both the patrons and employees don't seem happy - I saw this comment in another review for this place too. If this bar seems your style, maybe try it out if you're out downtown and don't mind a walk, but if you're passing through I'd just stay more downtown.

Super rude female bar tender. Wanted a tip for one drink after telling me that don't have anything for a strawberry bourbon. Was also rude to multiple other patrons right in front of me and stole someone's cash. Treated me poorly for not tipping. Don't go here if you expect friendly service in exchange for a tip.

Creepy dive bar in sketchy area. Costly cover charge for screamo bands that'll make your ears bleed. Gross drinks. Disgusting walls/bathrooms. Odd crowd. Aggressive/rude staff who will literally yell at you "we work for tips". Nothing inside except for single pool table. Avoid if you value your hearing/want a good night out.
