a darling lil’ bar for darling lil’ people

A full-service bar and bottle shop dedicated to the idea that
"Everyone deserves a seat at the table"

Wine doesn’t have to be pretentious or intimidating—it’s just grape juice!
Drinking should be fun. At Darling, you can learn about wine as much or as little as you like.
Natural, Low Intervention, Low/No Sulfites Wines


Darling was voted Lexington's
