Awesome, old school joint. It’s a honkey tonk that represents all the honkey tonks of the world. Live music from all over the world. Follow their Facebook page to see what cool bands or performances are on their calendar. Weekend entrance fee (yes it’s totally worth a measly$8!!!) includes access to a free buffet with some damn tasty grub. Meatballs usually has a slight kick so don’t be a douche and take a bunch when you won’t even be able to finish them all. Sometimes the food finishes quickly. Sometimes it doesn’t, and you don’t have to feel guilty about loading up a big ass plate since nobody is eating. 😉

They have a pretty cool outside patio. Usually has a fire going on chilly nights. They have a tiny bar where they serve you beers from igloo coolers so be patient for them drinks. The staff is pretty chill so you be chill too. B-) Sahara is an awesome gem outside of Austin’s hustle and bustle of downtown and I wish we had more like this place. Take a taxi and come party!

I’m not one for writing reviews but this place was worth the time for the review.
Very cool place. Good vibes, great tunes. Super friendly staff and a variety of their own mixed drinks was a double win. Did mention the amazing house band? So much talent. The place was built in the 50’s and it shows. Thats all part of the charm. I will definitely be back! Oh ya… There was an eight dollar cover for the band. It was worth twice that.

I went for the first time to Africa Night on a Saturday. When I first lived in Austin some twenty years ago, one would not have traveled to this area of town late at night. But today, it is safe. I had the best time. The owners and visitors were all very nice. I will definitely return.

This place looks super sketchy but it’s really not. The atmosphere is quite enjoyable, especially with the live music! Just don’t get the drink that has all the natural plants in it. It tastes like straight up weeds and leaves.

The Sahara Lounge is everything you would expect from an Austin music venue. Live music, an outdoor patio, full bar, signature cocktails, and the rare free parking! From the small eclectic stage that hosts local bands trying to make it big to the friendly bar staff, the Sahara is a great spot for a fun weekend. Feed your inner hipster and go to the Monday night Swing! Check out the fantastic murals and graffiti all around the outside of the Sahara and remember why you loved Austin in the first place.
