Darog (’small oak tree’ in Irish) is one of the newest wine bars to open in Ireland and is a venture from Sommelier Zsolt Lukas & his wife Edel featuring artisan wines from organic & biodynamic producers. Natural wines feature on the list too. Locally sourced food is also available; small plates, cheese and more. Wines are available retail too. No doubt more to come as Darog finds its roots. An excellent addition to Galway City.
