About
The jukebox plays loud enough to feel, but not so loud you can't order a cheap drink at the bar. This is Arlington's only LGBTQ+ bar, drawing in 20-somethings through 40-somethings for friendly neighborhood vibes and drag shows that the crowd actually invests in. Friday and Saturday feature award-winning shows at 10pm with no cover, hosted by Kiana Lee; Sunday shows are hosted by Monique Foster.
It opens earlier on weekends (2pm Saturday and Sunday) so you can grab an outdoor seat for happy hour before the show crowd rolls in. The full bar and free wifi make it an easy midweek stop too, especially on Tuesdays when the entertainment lineup rotates through local talent like Candy Carol and Sierra Diamond. You'll find free parking around back, which helps keep the whole night inexpensive.

“Dont Listen to Hatters .”
This bar is the best in Fort Worth. Everyone there is very friendly and the show is dynamic, showing how talented Fort Worth entertainers are. The Rainbow Lounge only hires from Dallas. The 1851 has a website www.1851club.com with great shows on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday featuring talents like Candy Carol, Monique Foster, Sierra Diamond, Kiana Lee, and many more great performers. Lots of free parking, no cover, cheap tasty drinks, and hot bartenders. I simply love the 1851 Club and highly recommend going. This is far from being a hole in the wall.
