Besides food and dining (more about it in our future post), music and entertainment also make the nightlife scene of Baku. New clubs and lounges have been popping out like mushrooms and today you won’t have any problems in finding a good place to spend a memorable night out. Below are a few of the most popular and largest venues in the capital.
Clubs
Pasifico, located on the boulevard, very close to the Park Bulvar shopping center, is among the most popular party venues in the city. It’s modern, it’s chic and sought-after by many locals and expats. They serve a wide variety of alcoholic drinks and a choice of Latin American dishes such as ceviche or rodizio style barbecue. There is also a large outdoor terrace with a view over the Caspian Sea open for dancing and dining. Remember to dress smartly as otherwise you might be turned down at the entrance.
Music: A combination of electro and ”mixed up” popular radio hits; guest DJs
A roof top restaurant and club at Park Inn hotel. They offer a good choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and tasty food including sushi. Excellent views. On the weekends there are often concerts of popular local singers signing a wide variety of songs from Frank Sinatra to Russian and Turkish pop. Dress smart.
Music: popular radio hits; live music by local singers
Situated on the 29th floor of Azure Shopping Center Opera Sky offers some of the best views over the city. In June they also opened a spacious terrace. Good food & wide choice of drinks.
Music: popular radio hits; live performances; guest DJs
A newly opened venue. Located a 10 minutes walk from the Fountain Square, just on the beginning of Nizami Street. A paradise for fans of ”real” electronic music.
Music: electro by resident and guest DJs.

Something different
Not many people know that Bakuvians love jazz and every autumn the city organizes Baku International Jazz Festival, at which perform some of the best local as well as international jazz artists. Throughout the year, however, you can also enjoy live jazz concerts at the Jazz Center.
A small wine bar just off the Fountain Square offering a great variety of both local and international wines. Very popular with local expats. On Wednesdays they host Italian aperitivo evenings with free mediterranean buffet and spritz. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and you will quickly get acquainted with most of the people in the room. After a few drinks there might be a spontaneous dancing!
