The editorial take
Royal Palm Village Wine & Tapas operates as a retail wine shop where you can drink on-site for a $10 corkage fee, making it a bargain for exploring a 1200-bottle list. The beer program is equally ambitious with 12 rotating drafts and 200+ craft bottles. Staff are trained to pair wines with the tapas menu, bridging the gap between retail and restaurant.

- Work the wine list by the glass to sample old and new world selections, or buy a bottle at retail and pay the $10 corkage. For beer drinkers, the rotating drafts and craft bottles, including Left Hand Brewing, offer variety.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts looking to drink well without restaurant markup will find the retail-priced bottles appealing. Beer lovers will appreciate the rotating drafts and extensive craft selection. Tapas-focused diners will value the staff's pairing expertise.

- What should I expect to spend?
