1851 Club

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is so fun and inviting. The drag show they put on is fierce and fun! And on top of everything the owner is the sweetest and definitely cares about his customers but also the community. If you haven’t checked this place out you definitely should, you will have a great time!

Great atmosphere! As a part of the community and just moving here from New Orleans, I was really happy to find this great little spot to spend some time and money with like minded people in the new neighborhood!!! Will definitely be coming back!! Bartenders were great, knowledgeable about drinks I ordered and owner was very personable when he introduced himself. Honestly all I could ask for in a night out spot!!

From the time we walked in the atmosphere was amazing!! The bartenders were great, drinks were amazing. The owner even took the time to introduce himself and welcome as first timers. The drag show was so fun and amazing. The pools tables kept us busy until the show started. Dj has music playing the whole time so you can dance and just let loose.

I have never had a better experience in my life than being at this place. They make sure you have a great time and feel at home and loved and comfortable. Dalton the owner is one of the sweetest human beings along with Candi, Caress and Kianna just to name a few !!!! Can go on for days about this place! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love 1851! Their drag show is super fun and the guy who does the lights for the show does a fantastic job. I’m always taken care of by the bartenders, Tyme is my absolute favorite and she always takes the time to be personable with me. It’s a great free open atmosphere and I love that I don’t have to dress to impress! Recommend!

The owner was incredibly sweet to me, he has created such a inclusive and beautiful community in this hidden gem in Arlington. I personally was really having a hard time and his generosity and warmth helped me feel seen and included. I couldn't of found a better place to start of the new year. Happy 2024 1851!

This is one of the best places I have ever been to. Every time I come here, I leave with new friends. I have never felt so safe and seen. Thanks to the staff, bartenders, and entertainers for a great experience.

Absolutely loved this club. Everyone was lovely and polite. The beautiful Queens gave the show of my life and was interactive. I recommend coming and bringing your friend. The owner has a golden heart and makes sure everyone is happy and good.

The star was so friendly and the atmosphere was such a good vibe. The lovely girlie who was performing saw us come in and greeted us right away. The gummy worm drink was so good and paired well with the sour gummy candy’s. Decent price drinks too.

One of the best experiences I’ve had at any bar ever. The staff were very kind and the management were very personable. I have never felt more at home ever in my life in any establishment. Thank you, 1851, for being a safe space and allowing people to exist proudly and confident. We will be back

I have enjoyed coming here over these last few years. It has been a blast. The shows are great. The drinks are really good. Everyone is so friendly.

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

I love this place! Best drag show I have ever seen!

Visiting all the way from Philadelphia, we were immediately met with welcoming employees that made us feel at home right away. The knowledgeable bartender let us know all of our options. Soon after we were greeted by the owner who was more than accommodating. This is a great safe and fun space for all of the lgbtq+ community

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

Super attentive, open, and welcome staff. The venue is a great space and midpoint if you’re looking for quality space, music, and performances. Lighting and sound systems are spectacular.

The vibe is immaculate. I love this place so much. It’s a safe space and everyone is your friend. Thank you Dalton!!

truly love this place and as a transgender person, the space is welcoming and wholesome. truly enjoyed being here and excited for my next visit.

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!

New years eve Dakota and all staff were super. Had a brilliant time, my fiance and I. Made a great difference in our trip abroad. If all the gay clubs are like this in the USA, I may move here.
Thanks 1851, and happy hogmany!
Go here.
