I think pomegranate juice is historically popular in Iran, so maybe also in Azerbaijan. There's a pomegranate juice brand that's relatively common in U.S. supermarkets, but not in restaurants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POM_Wonderful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POM_Wonderful I don't think I had ever seen pomegranate juice in a supermarket before this brand appeared (apparently in 2002). I think it's also used in some cocktails, so I wouldn't be surprised if bars had at least a little bit on hand.
