These ARE the best bars in Baku.... They're where all the expats go. Corner Bar has a nice mix of people from everywhere... not just the British ones. There are always a lot of cute azeri/russian girls working there and there's live music every night at 9. David and Sasha are really good.... they're the band. The place gets really packed at about 10 on Friday and Saturday... if you don't mind close quarters, this is the place for you.
Crossroads is a newer bar with the same owners as Corner Bar... it's across the road from Corner - hence the name - Crossroads ;). It has a pool table, a disco downstairs, and live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The band that plays there now is awesome. On Friday's and Saturday's, the place turns into a sort of disco at about midnight. It's definately the place to be if you want to have a good time. The cute girls work here too.
Tequila Junction is a smaller more quiet bar that has pretty good Mexican food. They have a pool table and live music on Friday nights - the same band that plays in Crossroads. They also have a nice area outside to hang around if you want to get some fresh air. During football season, they have NFL football on Sunday's at 10:00pm.
Dress Code: Anything goes at all three of these places.... well, you need to be wearing clothes;).

If you want to have the best view of downtown Baku whether it's daytime or at night, your best bet is the top of the ISR Plaza! Previously called the City Lights Bar, it has now been renamed to Azza bar. Not only does this place have a breath-taking view, it also offers you some great sushi, a big variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and live music in the evenings. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the seats are quite comfortable. Summertime the outdoor seating is available and in winter it is the best place where to escape... if you just go there once, you'll keep going back!
Dress Code: There is no dress code for this place although most people going there are usually dressed well. In Baku people like to dress well even if there is no special occasion :)

Phoenix Bar, just off Fountain Square, beside the Cinema.
It's an Aussie bar, but it looks classy and nice inside - a strange mix! Always a good crowd in there in the evenings, and a big screen for all sports.
Dress Code: No dress code, mostly oil workers and people working for Afghan NGOs on holiday or in transit, so most people are pretty scruffy - often people in there in their high-vis boiler suits from the oil rigs!

There are several English pubs. My favorites were Chaplins, Shakespeares, Finigans, and the Rig bar.
The Hyatt Disco is fun on saturday nights. Other discos that are fun are Sherwoods, the Coral, the Tural, and the Blackjack.
They stay open till 5 am and open again at 7 am.
Dress Code: casual

There are actually lots of nightclubs in Baku. To just name one, would not feel right. The clubs are western styled, even thought somewhat more estern, and local music. The clubs varies in style and size. Be sure to try several!
Dress Code: Recommend you dress up. Coat and tie are maybe not required, and you would most likely get in with jeans. However, the Baku nightlife people are in generall very well dressed.

Typical English style pub. However, do not expect many brands of beer. Decent place with reasonable pricing.
Dress Code: No dress code.
