FOMO Baku — Restaurant in Baku City

To the Management of the Club, Greetings,

I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with the “face control” system at your club. Upon my arrival, I was stopped by security and informed that I did not meet the “face control” standards, even though I had purchased a table online in advance.

I am a visitor in your country and a global nightlife photographer based in Dubai, and I have been to many clubs around the world. However, this is the first time I have been treated in such a manner.

I am deeply disappointed by the way I was treated as a tourist, as it felt selective and unfair.

I politely asked for the reason, but they didn’t give me any explanation — they just kept saying, “You are not allowed.” It was disappointing and unprofessional because no one explained what the issue was. I hope the management looks into this and treats guests with more respect...
