The best bar I have ever been too! Drag shows every week! No paying to park and no entry fee! Super fun, always a blast! The staff is the BEST!

This place is dope. GOOD drinks, great price and fabulous service! Love the environment and energy. Can’t wait for the outdoor speakers! If the parking lot is full don’t leave…park across the street at the collision repair, you will not get towed. It’s worth it!

Fun atmosphere! Amazing drag show with a beautiful stage. Even with a large crowd it was still fun and engaging! Very lively and a great place for anyone looking for a night out to remember

Great atmosphere and energy!! This is my first time visiting but i will definitely be back with friends! Drag show was awesome. The owner is very personable and welcoming. Love it here.

1851 is the best bar in the area!!! Sometimes, going out to bars can be stressful and just not a good time. Every time at 1851, I feel welcomed. It can feel like walking into a friend's home. Like the show Cheers, It is a place where everyone can know your name. The drag show is always so much fun with the best performers in town. The bartenders are quick and friendly, and the security welcomes you in all while making sure we are safe. I'm so glad this place exists, especially in this location.

Super fun the show was great and they played limbo with the guests !!!♡♡♡ Lost ☆☆ bc Please fix bathroom stall. No door on toilet just screams rykers island #yikes #stingyowners #HowWillTopsSh!t?

DALTON! Was most pleasant! Talk about great service! Pickleback with Jameson! We Love a Good Guy and the BARTENDERS were the best’ love this place

Great service, fun drag show, and beautiful performers!!! They were fun and engaging the whole crowd. Even had awesome funny moments where they played games with the audience. I will be returning here! Such a great vibe, drinks and service on point. You won’t regret checking this bar out.

Colorful catwalk outfits and fun atmosphere. It's always been my go-to place for a relaxing weekend break. If you're looking for an inclusive and cool space, this is the place for you that exudes a chic/dignified vibe. Great show, cheap drinks and a safe environment! Can't wait to go back！

Omg this place is amazing! Great people the atmosphere is off the charts. For all people. Could not say enough about this place drink are cheap and delicious drag is top notch.

Such a cute place. Love the positive energy but happen to come when a concert was canceled so wait was a little long for a drink. The outside is nicely lit and covered to be comfortable. Would suggest a speaker or something for the smokers or introverts :) cause we love options!

Great experience. Love the performers. They include the crowd in the show and it’s such a great time. Lots of laughs and smiles. Thank you 1851 club!!! 10/10 would recommend.

My advice...GO! The owner, bartenders, performers and music were all on point! Im a 1st time visitor, from Cali and the vibe was definitely friendly and fun! The performers gave a great show and had a attitude of gratitude! People from all walks of life came together and had fun! This is definitely "my place"! Thanks Dalton and crew

Dallas and Fort Worth have their beautiful queens and lively venues, but this best kept secret in Arlington is less pretentious, smaller, with much easier parking, plus the best bartenders anywhere, but the drag show is top notch entertainment featuring the most beautiful queens with ATTITUDE!! Drop in and have a wonderful time!! 💋❤️🧡💛💚💜

Awesome atmosphere all around! Just loved to the area and will definitely be back soon!!

Vibes were immaculate. Bathroom was nice and clean. Drinks and music were great. I didn't eat so I don't know about the food.

Lovely staff. Strong pours. Reasonable prices. And amazing all-star performers. Its pretty chill middle of the week, but once Saturday hits its full up party. Wonderful energy.

We had a great time last night. We’ve been a few times before and always enjoyed ourselves. Last night’s show was fantastic because of the choice in music. I even got up and danced on Boo’d Up! We will be back for more. 🖤🖤

I came her last night for a show and I had an awesome experience. Dalton (the club owner) was super nice and welcoming, the customer service from the staff was great, the bathrooms were clean, and most importantly, the show and vibes were amazing! I had so much fun 😁

Randomly purchased Men Next Door tickets and stopped by with a friend. Love the environment! Had so much fun.. The owner (Dalton?), made rounds and made sure guests were okay and everyone enjoyed their experience. Bartenders were crazy busy but made sure everyone was taken care of. I will definitely be back.

Owner is so nice and welcoming - the bartenders are nice and the drinks are great. The queens in the drag show are excellent!! Please make a night of fun here. You won’t be disappointed!

I went on a dead night, but the few people there were friendly and the staff was nice. Nice vibe with good drinks.

My first time here and , omg everyone is so sweet they really take care of you. Love the ambiance! I definitely love it! ❤️

I love this place! Always clean and staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The queens are so entertaining and I always have a great time here!

The experience was amazing, the performers were entertaining, the drinks were Top notch with grade A service! Dalton the owner made point to take care of us personally. Will come back, would recommend!

Went there with my fiancé for the first time about 2 weeks ago, we had fun, drinks are great, show was very entertaining and we like the fact that the security guard saw us parking outside (from cameras inside) in an open field and immediately walked outside to direct us across the street so we would not get our car towed. That was pretty cool he did that. This place is a fun place and we felt safe and welcomed!

If you’re looking for an inclusive and queer space to feel welcome, safe and seen, this is the place. The owner and the Queens were very personable and friendly but also give off a chic/dignified vibe like the royalty they are. An excellent show, inexpensive drinks and secure environment! Can’t wait to go back! *Edit 7/4* I wanted to add: last night we attended a very well known Drag show in Dallas and I left feeling even more impressed with 1851 in Arlington. Comparatively the 1851 show is professional, high energy, funny and polished. I missed the 1851 Queens! Really excellent performances — every time!

Hands down by far the best place to hang and get good drinks! Great atmosphere and karaoke night is the place to be! Come here! The owner and staff are so sweet and AMAZING!

Going to 1851 Club in Arlington feels like coming home. The drinks are strong and they offer unique and quirky cocktails. On a busy night the service is fast and on a slower night, you can have some of the best conversations you've ever had with any of the staff. 1851 promotes a safe, inclusive, welcoming, warm environment. People are kind and everyone is there to have a good time. The performers put on a stellar drag show, often hosted by the incredibly lovely and talented Kiana Lee. The lasers and fog add extra pizzazz to their high energy performances. They regularly schedule events that are always a blast to attend. The owner Dalton, is an absolute gentleman and is always mingling with guests on show nights. If you want to have an incredible time at a drag show, or if you just want to visit Arlington's only LGBTQ establishment, I highly recommend 1851 Club in Arlington. You'll have an amazing time!

Seriously the best place in Arlington! The drag shows are wonderful, the comedy is hilarious, and the drinks are delicious! Super safe place to be yourself! My wife and I love coming here!

Visiting from out of town- came here after the Lady Gaga concert. Very friendly staff. Small and intimate space inside. The queens working were great! Little tip: if the parking lot is full, DON'T park on the grass next to the building; the cops may tow your car. Instead, park across the street at the collision center.

New favorite club! Super friendly staff and owner! My friends and I felt very welcomed! Very diverse crowd. Their Jell-O shots are amazing! You will definitely have a great time!

Karaoke Wednesday 🎤 Every one was super friendly and drinks were well priced. Everyone supported each other on stage and it was a good time! Merry Christmas🎄

This is a really beautiful place with amazing shows. They are extremely accepting and very accepting and will definitely make you feel welcome. If you want a good night, please come check them out! I couldn’t recommend them more!

Super fun and great drinks! Went to see some Lovelies and had a blast. I believe there were 9 of us celebrating my aunts birthday, and the team took care of us, can’t wait to return. Music was a vibe, drinks were heavy, and the show was on point!
