I did a Lexis search on "Green Lantern" ages ago, and got lots of references to bars, motels, taverns, etc. Apparently "Green Lantern" originates as a railroad term, and it's thus a pretty popular name for establishments near train stations and rail yards.

It still sounded good to me by the time I reached home."
