Ovuçlar Məkanı

Azerbaijan


If you’re not put off by the animal trophies, this rustic-themed ‘hunters corner’ makes a relatively comfortable place to sink beers (from AZN3) after everywhere else has closed. It also has a pleasant garden area and serves many local meals including kebabs (AZN6) and qutab (stuffed pancake; 80q). Male dominated.

The bar makes its own rather odd 'wine' which tastes like a slightly tart Madeira.
