There has been another addition on the south end of Raleigh's Glenwood South. Last week, I wrote about Amra's, a jazz club expected to open soon at 106 Glenwood Ave. Just a short hop away, another club is getting ready to open.

Mosaic Wine et Lounge is a Moroccan-themed lounge and bar with decor imported from Morocco. Besides its large wine selection, it will have a full bar. Mosaic won't have a kitchen, though owner Samad Hachby said he plans to strike deals with nearby restaurants to have a food-ordering option.

Mosaic, like Amra's, is expected to open in a few weeks.

Sam Snead's Tavern has pulled out of the Triangle. It once had three locations here, but the final one, on Falls of the Neuse Road in Raleigh's North Ridge Shopping Center, closed Monday. The locations on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh and in Cary's Wellington Shopping Center closed last year.

Pat Casey, who licenses locations for Florida-based Snead's, said a return to the Triangle is not out of the question, though there are no specific plans, and new license owners would have to be found.
