Lantern St. Grill & Tap House — Restaurant in Plano

I’m a night owl, and this “dive bar” is my favorite one of all.

I really love everything at this intersection at Coit & Spring Creek in Plano, but…

Lantern’s is my fav. They are always open until 2am. Even when no place else is. That kind of consistency gets my heart for sure!

I have walked in when only one patron sat sipping a beer, but the bartender (always just one) greets you with a warm smile and never seems to be in any kind of hurry to close up early.

When it’s busier, the same welcoming feeling exudes from an eclectic, charming group of people one wouldn’t imagine to see together in one place. But, they all have one thing in common—a love for karaoke—and at Lantern’s, they get to love it five nights a week, Wed through Sun.

Belch, is the best karaoke jockey/master I’ve met. He has the appropriate equipment for the space and he is equally charming and funny like the rest of the regulars. They all know each other by first name—and, by their karaoke aliases, too.

No one takes themselves too seriously because it’s about having a good time and trying some new tunes. I watch them enjoy cheering each other on and it’s hard not to get caught up in their desire to encourage the performer and dance or sing along—even when we bomb.

So, if you’re new to the area, or you’re new to karaoke (outside of your car), and you’re looking for a place to give it a try, then Lantern’s is the best place to get behind a mic for the first time with new people They will soon become familiar faces that you’ll have a hard time not...

I just got accosted at this bar a few minutes ago. Not by the police or security guard or nothing like that. I got confronted by a bartender which has no positive manners in which to treat her clients. As I arrive at the establishment, I see the owner, I greet the owner of the joint, as he's a fútbol fan like myself... While I'm greeting the owner I ask the bartender, "can I have a Corona"... She looks at me funny, and tells me can you say "please", Ok, fine "can I have a Corona please"... I get the Corona, & go sit near where the Lakers & Spurs screen is playing. I drink my Corona, I'm sitting at the bar, mind you... I finish my Corona, she walks by me at least 8 times, the bar is not full, there's at least 3 seats between me & the next customer... Clearly she can see my beer is gone. 20 minutes later after finishing my Corona, I ask for my tab. When she comes back with my tab, she starts hissin' "hey dude, dude! dude, hey dude! (I was looking at another screen showing highlights of other prior games) Do you not like us or something? Why do you always have 1 beer & leave?" Lady, I only leave after 1 beer when YOU are serving because it's very obvious you don't like to serve me. You want me to beg to be served? Just like you had me do tonight? I have a good time with the other bartenders that serve me at that bar. The 3 times that YOU served me, yes, I paid my bar tab & walked out after 1 beer, coz you're a lousy...

As a certified service dog owner, with the patches on. I was asked what tasks does the service animal perform for my disability. This was my answer Ptsd- helps apply pressure before panic attacks Retrieving dropped items for people with mobility impairments. Reminds me to take medication as i have and diagnosed with 3 mental illnesess on top of ptsd. Simply calm people with ptsd

I was told to leave by owner Calvin after answering these questions. Also offered to show his registration card (even though by law according to the ada i dont have to present it)

Will be filing charges against this awful establishment. Go ahead and read the law that our awesome governer Mr. Abbot put into force according to the ADA (american disabilities act)

Oh and not to mention during memorial weekend.

Awful. Wouldnt reccomend...
