Pivnaya Apteka Baku — a Craft Beer Bar with a Pharmacy Twist

Pivnaya Apteka (translated as “Beer Pharmacy”) is a creative and quirky bar located in the heart of Baku. The concept cleverly blends the aesthetics of an old-fashioned apothecary with modern beer culture. Known for its unique interior design, humorous menu presentation, and a great variety of craft beer, this bar has become a local favorite and a must-visit for curious tourists.

Concept and Interior

Pivnaya Apteka is unlike any other bar in the city. Designed to resemble a vintage pharmacy, the space features wooden furniture, dim lighting, and shelves stacked with labeled jars and bottles that mimic old medicinal containers.

The menus are styled as prescriptions, and the drinks are served in glassware reminiscent of laboratory flasks. Attention to detail and clever design make it a highly photogenic and memorable venue.

Drinks and Craft Beer

The main highlight is the bar’s extensive craft beer selection. You’ll find a rotating list of local and imported beers, including IPAs, stouts, lagers, wheat beers, fruit-flavored options, and seasonal brews.

Additional offerings include:

  • House-made and classic cocktails

  • Infused shots served with humorous “medical” names

  • Non-alcoholic drinks like homemade lemonades and kvass

Each beer is accompanied by a playful description, complete with “dosage,” “effect,” and “recommendations,” adding to the interactive experience.

Food and Bar Snacks

To complement the drinks, the menu offers a variety of satisfying pub food:

  • Beer snack platters

  • Sausages and grilled meats

  • Burgers, fries, cheese sticks

  • Grilled chicken wings, salads, and light appetizers

All dishes are served with attention to taste and presentation, some styled to match the pharmacy theme.

Atmosphere and Crowd

The bar attracts a wide mix of people — from locals enjoying a night out to expats and tourists discovering Baku’s creative scene. The mood is relaxed, informal, and playful. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and cocktails on offer.

The venue frequently hosts themed events, beer tastings, quizzes, and occasional live music or DJ sets.
