Nightlife and Entertainment in Baku

Edit This

Baku has a vibrant life regarding theatre, opera and ballet, drawing both from the rich local dramatic portfolio and from the international repertoire. Prices are very reasonable by European standards. Shows are plentiful for all ages and tastes, and companies from neighbouring countries are regular visitors.

Today in the theatres you'll find plays both in Azeri and Russian, even so a lot of older residents have a certain nostalgia for the pre-war times, when in this area the cosmopolitan character of city's population was translated in a rainbow of events.

Most occasions are informal, but there are some exceptions, so if you want to avoid feeling awkward don't forget to check the dress code in advance for each performance.

During the last 8 years, nightlife and entertainment scene in Baku has undergone a dramatic change - mainly because of the oil boom.  The ongoing oil exploration has resulted in creation of a large expat community ( mainly British ) who work for different multinational oil companies. A large number of night clubs, bars, pubs and discotheques have sprung up, catering mainly to this expat community. Most of these pubs & bars are located in and around the Fountain Square and are open till very late in the night ( Usually till the last order ). Discotheques are open till the wee hours in the morning; at least at the weekends.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE PUB

Edit This

August 2009 - Shakespeares has relocated and is now nestled between Finnegans Irish Pub and Adams on A. Alizade Street. It is run by the same owner so the overall standard remains high.

The pub is located in the basement of the building while Maharaja's Indian restaraunt is upstairs in the same building. The pub is a great place to for a beer, good food and a lively atmosphere. Frequented these days mainly by the Oil and Gas community who enjoy their Nights at the Round Table. Supposedly, there are tables for smokers and non smokers, but from experience this does not work. more..
