The Green Lantern Cafe

This little hole in the wall bar has been in business for almost 100 years. It is obviously a local hangout, but serves good food. We had fish tacos and Goetta grilled cheese. Both were very good. Live karaoke had the place hopping! Definitely worth a visit!

Super friendly bartender and great beer prices. This place is a gem, little bar but big hit! Didn't have food but will definitely try it next time!

Quick stop for dinner. Typical dive bar setting with a patio and additional seating outside. Bartender was patient and great, manager was also kind as well! Tried their chicken strips, tots and pizza. Chicken strips were hand battered and def not frozen, but honestly they didn't hit the spot. Not what I was wanting maybe? A little burnt and chewy. And how could anyone go wrong with tots? You can't, they were tasty! But the pizza...the pizza is where it's at! They make their own dough and the sauce is phenomenal. 10/10 recommend the pizza. A chill little spot, and the prices weren't bad!

If you're looking for a place to unwind, have good food and fun, this place is for you. The name Green Lantern does not appear on the outside of the building, so if you're not from the neighborhood (like me) you might drive past it at first.I found this place on Yelp while searching for a place to eat after a soccer game. Based on the other reviews and a glimpse at the menu, my husband and I were sold. We started off with the Hanky Panky, which was the perfect size for two. I then had the Piggie on Pretzel sandwich with the homemade Saratoga chips -- both of which I highly recommend. My husband ordered a burger, which he loved, but he also ordered the battered fries, which neither of us liked.After stuffing our faces, we decided that we were in the mood for something sweet. We shared a piece of chocolate lava cake, which didn't stay on the plate for long.While we dined, we enjoyed some basketball on the TV before karaoke night began. What fun! And the folks who got up to sing were pretty good. I'd also like to give a shout out to the staff, who were really friendly. The Green Lantern gives you an at-home feeling, sort of like Cheers but not as fancy.

I've been coming to the Green Lantern for over a year now. It's a fantastic neighborhood bar in Latonia where restaurant options are slim. This bar is ripe for your next adventure. The drinks are reasonably priced with a wide selection of beers and liquors for the cocktail of your dreams. The bar staff could not be friendlier. This trip (and most trips) I've ordered the wings, which are always a delight when a bar excels at making them. However I can also say their cole slaw and fried cheese cubes (made with pepper jack cheese) are among some of their other highlights.I look forward to continuing to visit here and hopefully try out their awesome looking patio when the temperature gets warmer.

Awesome place! Definitely a gem in the neighborhood! Had the hanky-panky's (made me think of Christmas!) and the Cuban Sandwich - very good (love the mustard - need more of it!). Clean, no smoking - love it! We will be back!

Okay honestly this place is a GEM. Like. I've lived two blocks away for three years and never been here which is a tragedy.. the drinks are *relatively* limited as far as drafts, but it's totally made up for with the fact that wells are less than $4..... ALSO: the food here is amaaazing, we got a large app sampler and every single thing was crave-worthy. I honestly can't wait to make this place a staple in my weekly routine!!!

This place rocks! So much so, that my experience at The Green Lantern brought me out of my hiatus from reviewing. Now, how to best describe The Green Lantern... how about tasty, high-quality food (not just "bar food"), plus friendly and attentive service in a super clean and comfortable establishment?!?! Yes. The unassuming exterior doesn't do it justice! The night I visited, I ordered a few gin and tonics, fried pickles, and tots with cheese. Seriously, the fried pickles were some of the best I've ever had! The pickles were hand-sliced, lightly battered, and fried. Plus, the accompanying ranch dressing was thin and delicious! The tots were crispy and flavorful. My gin and tonic was also super delicious. Oh, and one the best features about this place? Excellent prices on drinks without comprising strength or flavor! And Karaoke on Wednesdays and Thursday's! An awesome, friendly, tasty, NON-SMOKING spot in the Latonia district of The Cov.

The place was almost deserted when I arrived around 6:00. Norma, thee bartender/server was welcoming and engaging. Visiting Cincinnati, I wanted goetta, which they had.I ordered a grilled goetta a d cheese with a side salad - housemade ranch ( more like black pepper cream, but delicious) as the only dressing choice.Ambiance is dark dive bar.Service is great- Norma is outstanding!Salad was fresh and crisp, could only have been improved with croutons The sandwich was perfectly toasted, the goetta was what it should be in all of its bland glory. Hot sauces on the table are appreciated.

Skipped twice on karaoke, took an hour for appetizers, they forgot one of the drinks, messed up two of the orders, luckily they didn't charge for it and the blue cheese dressing that they forgot and brought later was actually just mayo. Had high hopes, drove an hour hoping to make it part of our regular rotation. :( the waitress was really nice and the place was clean and the burger was good.
