The Lantern

Absolutely fantastic place! Found by chance before Sturgill concert and our bartender Chris was so welcoming to out of towners and poured an amazing cocktail.

This was a great local bar with cheap drinks, strong pours, and friendly staff! They have tons of room and TouchTunes!

The owner Dirk and the staff, including but more importantly Drew, Tyler, Caitlin & Heath.

came into town for work and found a local bar near my hotel. Unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. The only available seats were right in front of the servers' well, where all the servers pick up their drinks. I politely asked the bartender if it was okay to sit there or if I should find another spot. To my surprise, the bartender replied with a snide comment, "Doesn't it look like a seat?"This kind of attitude might work with regulars, but it's not acceptable for visitors. I have no problem with dive bars, but this place was disappointing. The service and overall atmosphere left much to be desired.

Even on a SUN night they know how to mix a Cosmo like no other! Great music and vibe.

Walked past this place far too many times. Went in for the first time tonight and got the warmest welcome by bartender Chris. The place is IMMACULATE, atmosphere and people warm, drinks strong, music fire. Will be back!

I'm not a bar person but I love this place. It's my favorite place to go for a drink in Huntington. They have a great selection of GF-friendly alcohols from liquor to wine, on Tuesday night they have a super cool art jam night meet up where artists to amateurs hang out, get creative, and have a chill time. One thing that could be improved are the bathrooms/sewage smell from time to time, but half the time I'm outside on the back patio and it clearly doesn't bother us enough to keep us away.

I was in Huntington WV from ORLANDO Florida on business and rolled into the Lantern based on Yelp and was not disappointed. The staff and patrons were great1:. Plus I met the owner who bought me a shot, to do with him, to celebrate my first visit to Huntington WV. Great place and great music. I will definitely visit this humble establishment again on my next visit

This bar was so strange inside, but I loved it. Staff was great and attentive. I enjoyed chatting and looking at all the things around me

An otherwise stylish pub PLAGUED by a drunk, attention-seeking owner and his rude "friends". Forget what would be an enjoyable happy hour, as the owner forces his way into conversations, and offers unsolicited "free shots" as a token of his patronization. Should you decline his forceful friendship, be ready to be publicly bashed as he paints himself a victim. This continues until you are harassed all the way out the door. The bartender was kind and timely. The beer was lukewarm and flat.
