Will We Be Going To Baku?

[RichardM]

I've been looking forward to my trip to Baku and then Rome. The fighting has been in Nagorno-Karabakh, the other side of the country from Baku, so I was hoping that it will be safe to travel and that we will all have Covid-19 vaccinations by then.

The ex pat bars are the only bars and they don't rip you off. The locals generally don't go to pubs except to play pool.
My buddy owns one and he has never ripped anyone off. Go to the London Bar or The Office.

It always amazes me, people travel to a foreign country and the first thing they do, is head for an Irish/Ingurlish bar !!!!!

It’s comical

In Baku all the bars in the centre cater for expats, brit US German what ever. If they relied on local custom they'd be closed in a week. When you live and work there you just naturally gravitate to where people you know go.
But thats only for the beer, for everything else it is far better using the local shops tailors cafes restaurants etc. Lovely people for the most part. I used a tailor when I'm there. He has a little place under the stair well in an appartment block about 5 doors from the London pub.. He'd do any alterations or repairs you wanted in less than 24 hours and was so cheap it was unreal. Great guy.
