In its 50-year lifespan, the building located at 1413 Webberville Road has been the site of various bars and music venues. It started out as the Lincoln Drive-In back in 1962, then transformed into TC's Lounge for the next three decades. In 2011, Sahara Lounge took over the space, and it's been delighting locals ever since.
The Sahara bills itself as a dive bar that captures "Austin as it used to be." That means no pretense, no frills, just good music, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of booze. The Sahara has signature craft cocktails, so grab something sweet when you come here for a show. You can enjoy it out on the patio on a warm Austin night, or stay indoors where you can really hear the live tunes coming from the stage.
