"Every Saturday is Africa Night at Sahara Lounge, with live music, dancing, and a small, free West African buffet. Expect a mix of spiced meatballs or chicken, plus beans, rice, and chips—simple but flavorful fuel for the dance floor. Just note that while the buffet is free, there is a small cover charge for the event. The Deal: Free West African buffet starting at 7pm every Saturday (cover charge applies)" - nicolai mccrary
"Part dive bar and part live music venue, Sahara Lounge is the kind of place where you're guaranteed a good time—one that feels much farther from Austin than its far East Side location might suggest. There’s music most nights, but the energy peaks on Saturdays during Africa Night, when the dance floor fills up and entry includes a small, free West African dinner buffet." - Nicolai McCrary
"The MLK-183 neighborhood live music venue serves up delicious cocktails Wednesday through Saturday, but the best time to go is for its Africa night on Saturdays, which includes a free delicious African buffet along with lively Afro-beat dance tunes. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
"I reported that Sahara Lounge, a bar and club in the MLK-183 neighborhood, is one of several locations around Austin now hosting vending machines that distribute free Narcan (naloxone) courtesy of the nonprofit Narcan in Case of Emergency (N.I.C.E.)." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Need a break from bustin’ a move on the dance floor? The fire pit out back is the perfect place to sit a spell and enjoy a drink." - Darcie Duttweiler
