Green Lantern
Big, popular bar. Shirtless men drink for free! No wonder it's popular. 80's nights are really popular here, and it's got some of the hottest go-go dancers around.

very friendly if you make the effort
Wandered in after almost giving up trying to find it but it was worth the effort. Downstairs bar is what you would expect of a neighbourhood bar in the US but I made a few friends. Upstairs bar was a code night. Lots of leather, rubber and skin, until the small hour. Made a lot more friends there.
No place is perfect
Have been to way more fun bars, but it was our last day in DC, and our little group stopped by. A moderately sized crowd, with a mix of friendly and unfriendly types. Not fun enough to return, but not so bad that it was awful. Would have to give it a second chance.
never again
crowdy only weekends during happy hours, fashion runway of screeming model and loose queens, no more that friendly bar of years ago
Friendly small bar
Nice little off-the-beaten-path bar. Friendly bar tenders and generally an older crowd. Thursday shirtless drink for free hour was fun. Starting to realize that men only go out in DC when there is free something. However, it was a nice place to go for a few rounds - I recommend if you are on a business trip and just want to toss a few back.
mixed opinion
I have definitely been to some gay bars around the country that were more exciting to go to. It definitely has a "neighborhood bar" feel, you know the kind where everybody knows your name. I of course was the visitor staying in a nearby hotel and no one knew my name. I went on a couple of different nights. The first night no one talked to me except the cute guy with the mic...puppy I think they called him. Very few people in the bar, I doubt more than 20 different people in two hours I was there. the second night was fun with two hot guys in suits sitting at the bar. One whipped it out for his buddy to play with. A few guys from the night before and "puppy" was tending bar tonight. He did come by and talk a bit, nice guy, but never really felt at home like I have in other bars on the first or second visit. I would probably go back if in the area again. Unfortunately I missed Thursday night.
