The Amras brothers are on the cusp of opening their next addition to downtown Raleigh, the Tobacco Road Sports Cafe. Located in the base of the new 222 Glenwood building, TR promises to be more than just another sports bar. Juan Esparaza, executive chef, has put together a somewhat challenging, well-rounded final menu (.PDF). While most of the items leaked in an earlier post appear on the menu, there are a few additions such as made-to-order salsa and guacamole. The menu features typical bar food, but also ventures into North Carolina favorites, fresh alternatives, seafood, and local produce.

The restaurant is, ironically, non-smoking, so it seems like and entirely reasonable family destination as well as a good one for Glenwood regulars.

12/24 Note: Tobacco Road will be opening to the public later this week, not today as other outlets are reporting.
