Royal Oak still stands proud along with many other businesses along Broad Street, commonly and rightfully known as Little Poland . Today, the Royal Oak is still family owned and operated. Not much from the outside. Inside, neatly organized shelves of nearly every liquor imaginable. Along with coolers chalk full of canned and bottled lagers. Many of which are European. On this day, I saw The Royal following a stop at Roly Poly Bakery, needing a requested bottle of Margarita mix. Thought, "This looks like a long shot, but what the heck." I walk in, greeted by the husband and wife owners, I asked, and was immediately shown the way down the narrow aisle to the "mix" section. BINGO! Great stop. After a Thank You, I browsed a little further. Impressed by the neat array of choices. Finally I decided to add a unique four pack of Polish lager to my bounty. We chatted at the counter as my card was swiped. Walking out, my first hesitant impressions were replaced with thoughts of comfort and a want to repay with another visit.

Outside the beer case are a variety of wines and bubblies, including canned wine and individual champagne bottles (good for campers like us).

The back wall of this big box-sized package store is a refrigerated case, and aisle 1, as of January 2021, is being turned into a second wall of refrigeration. Woot! I haven't been disappointed by the wine recommendations occasionally tucked between price labels, including a recommendation for Sunset Meadow Vineyards. Chris helped me find a couple light but flavorful brews, and pointed them out in the cold case too.

You can def find some good deals, though, especially if you catch one of their sales. The cashier wasn't the friendliest or patient, which was prob the only negative part of my visit.
