Last night we went to a really hip restaurant called Pivnaya Apteka. "Aptek" means pharmacy in Azeri and the decor of the restaurant followed a medical-scientific theme. The backdrop of the bar was filled with hexagonal shelves and diagrams of molecular structures. The waitstaff wore white lab coats and we saw drinks served in test tubes and laboratory flasks.

Curiously, the restaurant also had a marine animal theme. We were seated at a tiny corner table underneath a massive whale tail. Across from us was an octopus chair with a stream of tentacles flowing out behind it. And the menu featured x-rays of frogs, tadpoles, and other creatures. We thought the images were cool, but noted that some diners may find them unappetizing visuals to consider while contemplating dinner options.

Accompanying all this was a DJ spinning club beats. The restaurant's only been open for two months and many people haven't heard about it yet. We felt like we had really found the new "in" place to be!
