ETUD BAKU — Restaurant in Baku City

I recently had the pleasure of visiting ETUD, a standout bar in Baku that left a lasting impression. One of its most refreshing features is its strict non-smoking policy—a rarity in this city—which makes it a haven for those of us who prefer a clean, smoke-free environment. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming vibe, thanks to the friendly staff who clearly take pride in making every guest feel at home.The music at ETUD is nothing short of phenomenal. The playlist strikes a perfect balance between jazz, blues, soul, and bossa nova, creating an atmosphere that’s both sophisticated and laid-back. It’s the kind of soundscape that elevates your evening without overpowering conversation—a rare and delightful find.The bar itself is cozy yet surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind. The decor complements the ambiance beautifully, making it an inviting spot to settle in for a few hours. As for the menu, the snacks and beverages don’t disappoint. The offerings are simple but well-executed, with tasty bites that pair perfectly with their thoughtfully curated drink selection. Overall, ETUD is a gem in Baku’s nightlife scene. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great music, warm service, and a smoke-free space to enjoy it all. I’ll...

I hope the management of Etud Baku revisits its policies to ensure they create an inclusive and non-discriminatory environment for all guests. Discrimination, in any form, has no place in...

We weren’t informed that seats are for reservations. We were just told that we need to pay 15manat per person as entrance fee. The manager doesn’t even know how to compromise with us. She just told us we should have asked them if we need to pay for the seat. And told us that they are short of staff. Which isn’t even reasonable. What if we have ordered food already and expecting that we are going to eat with a table and will be seated comfortably. It is best that they should have done something. We have ordered food without a proper seat and proper table. After finishing the ordered food and drink we have left the place. Hope they know better in managing their customers well.
