Mugam Club

Ancient history, vibrant culture and authentic food
Nowhere quite says ‘medieval Baku’ as eloquently as this genuinely historic two-storey caravanserai. Incorporating a wonderfully photogenic series of stone-built niche rooms, it encloses a central courtyard where diners sit at carpet-decked benches shaded by a central fig tree, but protected from the elements by a transparent ‘roof’. The name ‘Mugam’ celebrates a UNESCO-celebrated form of traditional Azerbaijani music, but skillfully executed dinner shows here can also encompass a range of other Caucasian cultural displays including very impressive dance and sword displays.
