The Spanish-influenced tapas lounge featured signature red cocktails, an extensive and unique Spanish wine list, lounge and Latin music featured throughout the week, and free salsa lessons on Thursday evenings.
Quotes:
“We are ending an exciting seven-year run with The Red Room Tapas Lounge having served Triangle diners featuring cuisine with a Spanish theme and tapas concept unique for the area,” said Ogan. “To go out with a bang, we are offering patrons a last night filled with excellent food, fun and celebration, as well as a chance to contribute to deserving charities. We have big plans in 2012 with the planned opening of Rockwell’s American Grill in Cary at 1080 Darrington Drive in January, as well as improvements in our other restaurants such as Draft Carolina Burgers and Beers, located downstairs from the lounge at 510 Glenwood Ave. In addition, look for another Rocky Top restaurant in downtown Raleigh in early 2012. We encourage customers to check all of them out as we thank them for their support of what we accomplished at The Red Room Tapas Lounge.”
