Known as ‘the Cheers of Baku’, as it is where everyone knows your name, Adam’s has been serving the ex-pat population with a smile, in various guises and from various locations, for 11 years now, making it among the oldest ex-pat pubs in Baku. Originally run as an American diner and with a US diner menu to match, Brit regulars questioned why the Indian-born owners weren’t serving curry. They thought about this, imported a restaurant team from their native Mumbai and so one of the best pubs in Baku became also one of the best curry houses in Baku. With a winner-stays on pool policy, all major sporting events screened on large screens and a friendly clientele of locals and ex-pats, Adam’s is also one of the easiest places in Baku to win friends, if perhaps not influence people.
