If bubbles aren't your thing or you can't make it that particular night, Pam would still love for you to drop in for some wine or a cocktail or three. From now until the end of September, the restaurant is discounting every single one of their wines by the bottle by 50 percent off on Sunday and Monday nights. With more than 70 different wines on the menu, there should be something for every palate and price point and at really decent prices.
For your late-night drinking pleasure, during the month of August, The Palm also will offer classic cocktail, signature cocktails and after-dinner drinks for $8.37 after 9 p.m. daily. More than 25 cocktails are featured at this special price, including classics such as margaritas, cosmos and martinis, as well as specialty drinks like the Honey Jack Julep, featuring Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey and the spiced cucumber Collins. Head down and discover a new favorite drink.
