Pavilhão Chinês

NileGuide Expert tip:

Take time to explore the premises. There are several rooms to peruse.

Description:

• An interior décor composed entirely of collectibles, curios and bric-a-brac? This unique and absorbing bar is a veritable museum. Its warren of interconnecting rooms is lined with floor-to-ceiling glass display cabinets crammed with antique toys, ceramic Toby jugs, Flamenco fans, mantel clocks, china bulls and artists' palettes. The overwhelming theme, however, is military. Model biplanes, jets and WWII bombers hang in formation from the ceiling above rows of miniature battleships. Officers' caps and sheathed daggers cling to the walls. And you can't miss the thousands of intricately painted lead soldiers – infantry and cavalry – forever standing to attention. To best appreciate this extraordinary emporium, arrive late on a Friday and join the locals who have seen it all before. A back room pool hall offers some diversion but bemused customers often find themselves in a permanent state of distraction. Drinks aren't cheap, but the experience is priceless. © NileGuide2011 The Pavilhão Chinês (Chinese Pavilion) is a one of a kind bar in Lisbon.
