We visited this bar and could not believe the uniqueness of the place!! You must first ring the doorbell to be let in but, this is not a way of keeping people out in fancy sort of way, just part of the novelty. Once inside, you are hit immediately by the amazing decor! The detail and the types of things... More

I'm surprised that this isn't higher on the tourist agenda in Lisbon. Very well worth a visit. Fascinating. Have a drink and be amazed. If you visit Lisbon, you must go here. More

A taxi driver recommended this bar. It is like no other bar we have ever visited. The place is like a museum - crammed full of treasures and junk. Cabinets full of toy soldiers, dolls, trains, military paraphernalia plus statues and pictures. There are several rooms to view. The drinks are expensive and the waiters not particularly friendly but it... More

Go to Rome, see the Pope! Came to Lisbon, have a drink in Pavilhão Chines! Before go to bed, for a last cup, in a relaxing atmosphere. Never alone. Romantic. Each room is a surprise. Enjoy! More

Discovered this amazing bar by accident, and later spotted it in our guidebook! Thought it looked a bit like an English pub from the outside, we went in and the interior is incredible, with hundreds of treasures and nick-nacks in glass cabinets which stretch from floor to ceiling. There are three separate rooms, each with a different emphasis, the far... More

We found this place by accident while walking back to our hotel. The interior seems like a museum, with floor to ceiling paintings, knick knacks, sculptures, art deco fixtures, rugs, chairs, etc. In addition, it is laid out like a maze with each room leading into another amazing discovery. The drinks are reasonably priced and they take credit cards. Spend... More
