Sahara Lounge is often described as “the way Austin used to be!”, laid back, good music in a  relaxed atmosphere. When you walk in you can feel the musical vibe, you can feel the history.

The historic building at 1413 Webberville Road, near 12th and Springdale,  has housed different venues for over 50 years. “Lincoln Drive In” opened its doors in 1962, followed by  “RC’s” and “TC’s Lounge”.  “TC’s Lounge” operated for 33 years and “Sahara Lounge” opened in 2011, carrying on the tradition of great live music in a relaxed atmosphere.

7 nights a week Sahara presents music for almost every taste – African, Brazilian, Funk, Reggae, Indie, Folk, Rock, Soul, Country, Honky-Tonk, Middle Eastern and Jazz, as well as DJ Dance Parties once or twice a month.  The club also offers a chess table and 2 billiard tables.  The backyard seating area is a wonderful place to hang out for an evening under the trees and stars
