A
Sphinx
The most bizarre sight in Stepanakert is the giant Sphinx looming over the door of this restaurant. Plastic palm trees ignited with neon complete the scene. Despite the Egyptian theme, the menu is similar to other places in town, with khoravats (barbecued food) and kebabs the prime options.

Artsakh State Museum

Blues Bar
Enchanted-forest theme bar with trees and vines emerging from the walls and a ceiling lit with the moon and stars. The back patio is also forested and for once the Latin music adds some variety to the soundtrack. Around the same square there are several other cafés that serve alcohol.
