La Vida Tequila Bar

Baku’s go-to for a proper Latin night out, over by the National Flag Square. Expect tequila and Mexican plates, Latino and electro DJs, live dancers and a party that runs most nights until the small hours — it fills up fast, so book ahead. There’s a dress code on the door. Come for margaritas and a floor that doesn’t sit still.

While you’re in the city, pair it with a Baku street-food tour.
