Daróg Wine Bar

Delightful, small plates of food. 2 to 3 per person is likely needed at a minimum. Lovely, thoughtful wine list and the knowledge of this in the team there. Quiet enough to hear your own conversation even when full. It is an open-ish kitchen and I had some odour on my clothes later. Mill Street car park around the corner, €2 euros needed if you arrive at 5:30pm (machines out of order when I was there) and there will likely be some spaces. Would 100% visit again. For a glass of wine, the small plates or ideally both. It is not a big place, so suggest booking is needed.

Amazing wine bar experience in Galway! Foods were absolutely fantastic. Even with reservation, we had to wait for a bit but staffs looked after us. We were able to order wines and starter while we were waiting as well. Highly recommend to book in advance and try dining here when you’re in Galway! Highlights of the night were lobster tartlets and monkfish. We love seafoods so it was like in heaven! Would love to try lamb or other meat dish next time.

Outstanding. Excellent service, nice atmosphere and superb food. We ordered five dishes and two desserts. All wonderfully presented and not a single miss in taste. We cannot pick a favorite. I suppose the single fault would be the price per portion size. But this is supreme food and well worth experiencing.

Our experience was so satisfying. Everything we tried was so delicious. Service was very good. Everyone was so friendly and chatting away, explaining dishes and wines. If you see Tuna Tartlets on the menu you must try. Oysters were amazing too. And of course Hamachi Crudo was another great one. For wine I tried Etna Rosso it is such a good wine, might not be best pairing wine with these dishes but great balanced red wine.

Great experience all around! We ordered the Zucchini blossom, lobster tartlet, beef tartare, scallops, and lamb. The scallops and beef tartare were the stars of the show, but everything was delicious. The service was top notch, telling us to start with 5 dishes and go from there. (The 5 we ordered were plenty). The atmosphere was great, very busy but not too loud. It's a really small place but definitely makes it feel warm and inviting! Would proudly recommend!

Our group of three, no reservation, was very kindly accommodated on a busy and summery Saturday eve. The staff was very pleasant and informative, spending time with us to describe and recommend wines. Even replaced and refilled my wine when a fly dropped in my glass! Great spot for an aperitif/pre dinner bites or a small plates style dinner. Would love to come back!

High quality food and a lovely welcome. The beef tartare and sourdough are highlights. Water was a little slow to arrive but they couldn’t have been nicer to us and an excellent choice for those looking for quality food and drink during their time in Galway.

A hidden gem, Daróg is definitely worth a visit (and a revisit). The wine selection has something to offer for all palates. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable of all the menu has to offer, gluten free accommodations were made for me. We had a fantastic evening and I can’t wait to visit again soon.

Daróg was probably THE best meal I had my entire time in Ireland. A lot of people talk about Cork being the foodie capital of Ireland, but Galway really surprised me in the best way starting with Daróg. As the name would imply, the place offers an incredible selection of natural wines. The food menu uses fresh, seasonal ingredients so I'd recommend perusing it in advance since it changes frequently, from what I could gather. I sat at the bar this particular night. My one qualm about Daróg is their bar seats. Let's just say they're not really made for people with hips on the wider side and I felt a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was spectacular. The bartender, a very nice but serious man from Germany (I learned), had incredible recommendations and judging by how spot on he was, I would trust him with my life. The kingfish crudo was the best bite I had during my ten day trip. The pork chop almost outdid the kingfish. The oysters were good as well and the presentation was beautiful. I even made a friend at the bar and she agreed to eventually split the steak tartare with me. She revealed that she used to be vegan and red meat, especially RAW red meat, is not something she would've ever considered eating before but she loved it. That's how good that steak tartare was. I would come back a thousand times if I could. It is well worth the price and I highly recommend anyone in Galway check it out.
