Diamond Jim's Saloon

I love this place SO much. IMO the perfect laid back spot for any function, live band, even a wedding would be bomb here. Super comfy, retro games, very friendly staff, great sound system, clean bathrooms- actually the whole place is really clean. The regulars are totally welcoming and friendly. I literally don't even want to get married but I'm considering doing it just so we can do it here lol. 10/10

Small Town bar good to go for some drinks and some billiards. Ambiance is chill and lights are on low. Bartenders are super fun to talk to and prices are pretty average.

Great atmosphere and polite staff. Always a nice time and available seating. Highly recommended.

If you're asking yourself is Kristie really reviewing another place in Arlington, the answer is yes. Yes I am.My cousin had her birthday party at Diamond Jim's this past Friday because there was a Led Zeppelin cover band playing. So once again I found myself rolling down I-30 to the 817.This bar was complete fun. It's your average dive bar with a mix of interesting characters. It would definitely be a place I would check out again...if it were in DALLAS.I'd give this place 5 stars for the building itself. It's huge (TWSS). They have a stage, dance floor, pool tables in a back room, an upstairs area and I think a make shift patio out front. Plus the drinks were pretty cheap. There was a 5 minute window where we all got to order any shot for $2. That was super awesome.The reason I'm sticking with 4 stars is mostly for the cigarette smoke. Effin A people. I forgot how much I like the smoking ban in Dallas. Also, ordering drinks was kind of confusing because we didn't have a set waitress. It was kind of flag down whomever, or just order when someone showed up.Otherwise this was a good time! Good times indeed.

My husband and I stumbled upon this place yesterday when we were out riding and decided to give it a try since we saw a few bikes parked out front. The first thing I noticed was how much is looked like a "real" saloon. Like from back in the day. Pretty awesome if you ask me! We went to the bar and was immediately greeted and served. $3 for two beers?! Heck yes!! There was some karaoke going on...interesting lol. They have a small dance floor and they were setting up for a band to take the stage. Towards the back they have a decent sized pool room but I didn't see anyone back there. The upstairs was closed off, but I'm assuming they open it up later at night. We seemed to be the youngest ones in the bar. This may be a place for the older biker crew to hang out at.One thing to keep in mind...they allow smoking inside so it was VERY smokey, so if you don't like that kind of thing I would not suggest visiting this place. We don't really mind it, but I probably couldn't hang out here for more than a few hours. All in all I think it's a great place and we will definitely be back! Cheap beer wins every time!

Dive bar, pool tables, and great drinks. Staff is very welcoming. Will defin. Be back

In Arlington TX from North Carolina and happened to come across Diamond Jim's. My wife and I were there on a Wednesday night, so there was no band, but it was league night for pool and the tables were all very busy. We sat at the bar and talked with Nicky (the bartender) and Jim. Both were very friendly, and our conversation was like we were old friends. At one point Jim snuck over to the microphone and announced "we don't usually have celebrities in the house, but we do tonight" and he introduced my wife and I with a funny introduction -- VERY funny!! And of course after that there were $2 shots (any liquor) for 5 minutes. We really had a good time!! Highly recommend Diamond Jim's!!

This place gets 5 stars (right off the bat) for the mere fact that you can SMOKE inside. If you DON'T LIKE SMOKING and can't stand the fact that people are smoking - then DON'T GO HERE.If you like cheap drinks, fun karaoke, fun bar staff and dive bars then you will like Diamond Jim's.My only 2 critisms are:1. The parking lot is a little scary - needs bright lights and a LOT of them.2. The huge pool room in the back doesn't always attract the best crowd (if you catch my drift.)

The Bears went here specifically to see a friend's band perform that night. The parking area is, well, "interesting" - kinda like a war zone or a third-world country, with almost no illumination. I was glad I was driving a pickup truck!When you come in the front door, you feel instantly transported to the days of the Wild West or the Gold Rush - it's a very large, 2-deck saloon with a large elevated stage that features good local talent. The bartender ladies were very attentive (and attractive), and the drinks were very low in cost and generous in portion. Big plus. Bands that play here on live music nights play really L O U D. Bring some earplugs if you don't want your eardrums shattered.Only really bad thing is, after about15 minutes I felt like I needed a SCBA respirator because of the thick clouds of smoke everywhere. In fact, we had to leave early because my asthma was acting up and I was beginning to have trouble breathing. But then again, Arlington has yet to ban smoking, which is great for smokers but not Bears. I would really enjoy this place if that situation were to change.

No food, but amazing service! The drinks are amazing! Ask the Nicky (sorry if the spelling is wrong) for a Sour Patch Kid. It's her own creation, and it's phenomenal. Diamond Jim's is a dive bar, and definitely has that feel to it. There's pool, karaoke, different specials every night, and overall it's just a good time!
