Editorial Review for Mosaic Wine et Lounge – by Neha Shah

In Short
Catch the exotic vibes at this Powerhouse District wine lounge as you kick back with smooth wines and tall cool pints. The Moroccan-inspired ambiance exudes seductive sensations-low, pulsating beat of music in the background and only the hippest individuals are scattered about inside and outdoors. Enjoy quiet conversations amidst magic carpets, footstools, and enchanting mirrors and pillows. Friendly bar staff will recommend the right wines for your mood.

After returning from a trip to Miami, I was decidedly depressed knowing I would be returning to the hum-drum of Raleigh nightlife. Historically, I have found there to be a lack of originality and diversity among the dancing hot spots in Raleigh. That is until I experienced Mosaic. In addition to a s e x y, sultry and inviting atmosphere there is an electric vibe and spirit unmatched by anyplace in the triangle. You can feel the energy from the dance floor as soon as you enter. Depending on the night you go, you can expect to hear anything from Latin-infused beats to funky soul full house-driven tunes. The point is it is not Top 40 or R-n-B, unless it is a dance remix, a truly welcome change to the norm. I was surprised to find free wine tasting, on Wednesday nights. Also, if you are a Beer enthusiast then you will enjoy Mosaic’s selection of eastern European lagers. I have discovered my favorite drink is the house-made white sangria. Weather permitting I recommend sitting out on the side patio. If you are going for a night of dancing or just chilling out and chatting with friends Mosaic is a place that will let you do both. Overall, A wonderful escape close to home.

Pros: Ambience, cultured and intelligent people, awesome music

Cons: service is a bit slow

If you are looking for dollar beers, drunken college students and blaring hip hop music, all while wearing your flip flops, this is not a place for you. However if you are looking for a worldy, cultured, exotic place with the best wine selections and most gorgeous people, Mosaic is it. Guaranteed great time as Mosaic has the best music (lots of house for us addicts) and the best DJ's. Being from NYC and traveling all over the world, I can tell you that this is the only place in the Raleigh/Durham area that compares with NYC and Miami lounges. Best part, no hip hop, no flip flops, only intelligent cultured crowd, exotic ambiance and BEST music in town.

Pros: Interesting gorgeous people, house music, cabaret shows

Cons: none
