You're looking at two cafe tables. The one on the right (table 2), with the yellow flower etc., contains a tile with a yellow cocktail glass. Pick it up, then go back.
Turn left.
Take a closer look at the flower pot on the floor on the right hand side. Pick up the 4+2 dominoes tile.
Zoom out.
Look at the bottle rack above the flower pot.
Take the 3d bottle from the left on the bottom rack.
Take a note of the distribution of the remaining bottles:

Click the button below, then take the tile with a green cocktail glass.

Then click the button and take the screwdriver - an essential tool in most escape games.
Zoom out.
Click just to the left of the bottle and glass rack to the left of the bar to view it from the side.
A screw. Now what to do with that?

Zoom out then zoom in on the picture above table 3.
4 bottles, and 4 open slots. What could we fill the slots with?
With the four cocktail glasses, of course.
Your task, should you accept it (and you will accept it), is to connect the red bottle to the red glass with a red line, etc. Experiment a bit by clicking on the empty tiles to see what happens, then think how you can accomplish your task.
It takes a lot of clicking, but you'll be rewarded with a bottle opener for your hard work.
Take a closer look at the bottle you took from the bottle rack to the right of the bar.
Use the bottle opener to take the crown cap. Click on the crown cap to see a color pattern.
Zoom out.
Turn to the wall with the bar. Open the rightmost drawer.
Recognize the pattern?
Reconstruct the colors from the crown cap. You'll get a yellow marker pen for your efforts.
Turn to the wall with tables 3 and 4.
There is a box on the chair to the right of table 4. Take it.
Take a closer look at the box and open it. The ribbon that bound it will move to your inventory.
Take the lighter from the box.
Look at the lighter, open it and light it. Don't worry, it'll remain on as long as you need it.
There is a candle on each of the four tables.
Use the lighter to light all of them.
Go back to each of the candles and note the shape burnt into them by the flame.
Blue - square
Yellow - circle
Red - triangle
Green - heart
Turn to the wall with the bar.
Open the leftmost drawer.
Match the shapes with the corresponding colors from the candles.

Look at the picture above table 4.
There is a knob below the picture, but what can we do with it? It looks a bit like a crown cap...
Use the crown cap on it.
The picture comes to life.
You have to color the white parts. Look around the cafe for clues, and use the clue from the pastry box to combine colors. You can use the eraser pen if you made a mistake.
Flower: orange = yellow + red
Bottle: green = yellow + blue
Pastry: yellow with red embellishments
Napkin: green = yellow + blue
Letter E: blue
Cocktail glass: red
When you've colored everything correctly, you'll get a 6+4 dominoes tile.
Turn to the wall with the door, and look at the picture. If you click the rail to the right of it, it slides up.
Use the ribbon from the box on the rail to keep the picture up.
Place the dominoes tile on the board - remember the rules for dominoes: adjacent squares from different tiles must contain the same number of dots.
The dominoes tile form the word KEY, and a door key will appear on the board.
Take the key and escape!
