Alabama Green Lantern Bids: Looks like the lights have dimmed at the Green Lantern, an Alabama classic. The spot on Old Tuscaloosa Highway in McCalla is shutting its doors indefinitely, and it seems like it’s not by choice.
Their social media announcement spilled the tea, stating they’re closing due to “unforeseen circumstances out of our control.” It seems like they expected it, but the timing caught them off guard.
The plan was to throw a farewell bash for their loyal customers, but that’s no longer on the cards. The bar, which has been a community cornerstone for almost a century, is saying goodbye without the party they hoped for.
In a heartfelt post, they apologized to their customers, calling them family. The love was mutual, and they expressed gratitude for all the support over the years.
The Green Lantern wasn’t just a bar; it was a neighborhood hub for the working folks. Known for live music and sometimes serving up grub, it had a special place in the hearts of regulars.
It’s sad to see it go, especially for those who enjoyed a cold one on their way home from work. The clean restrooms and friendly vibes made it a dive bar gem.
So long, Green Lantern. Thanks for the memories and the good times.
