Bahadi’s Chicken & Lounge will introduce a new restaurant concept to Pflugerville when it opens next month. It will offer family dining in the day and evening and turn into a 21 and over lounge on Friday and Saturday nights.

Owners Torrey and Damara Guillory and Dawan and Tiffany Anderson decided to bring the unique restaurant to Pflugerville, as family members have experienced success in Chicago with a similar concept.

The restaurant will serve Chicago-style chicken, fish and pizza puffs, with soul food specials offered on Sundays. The menu will likely expand with a focus on southern-style cuisine.

Fridays and Saturdays after 10 p.m. Bahadi’s will morph from family dining to a lounge for adults 21 and older.

“We plan to have pool tables, a dance floor and a DJ playing a variety of music,” said Dawan Anderson, manager of Bahari’s Chicken & Lounge. “The lounge will have a full bar and a daiquiri machine. We will have special events throughout the year for ladies nights, poetry reading, karaoke, comedy and much more.”

Bahadi’s Chicken & Lounge will open March 1 at 907 FM 685 in Pflugerville, a location formerly occupied by Dos Chopstix. 512-704-4652. www.facebook.com/bahadischickenlounge
