Tejo Bar – An Alfama Oasis
Last updated: Sep 15th, 2009 | By: Rafael Vieira
Deep in the Alfama district lies this bar that attracts a very mixed population both out of the center and of the surrounding districts. It works on self service basis – meaning that you get your own drink and leave the money it costs, confidence and trust are mutual and this works perfectly, leaving the owners free to play and sing and socialize with the clients like if you where in your own living room and in the heart of your family.
Relationships establish easily, with the relaxed decoration and all kinds of board games that propel conversations. Participation in the constant music sessions goes naturally; you can find yourself embarking in the jams without even noticing. In this must see gem of Alfama brazilian music (check the resident band here) and Fado is held on a regularly basis, as are literary reunions and meetings.
