I lived in Yeongtong when I first moved to Korea.  Yeongtong is a meduim sized area on the outskirts of Suwon.  I lived here for almost two years and spent way too much time visiting all the local bars.  Pavox was always my favorite and I spent way too much time and money here.  It is a flair bar and they do put on a pretty good show.  I won’t lie and say that it is cheap, their drinks are a little but more expensive than other bars in the area, but I always have had a good time here.    I can’t tell you the number of times that the owner took me out for breakfast when they closed down for the night.  It used to be one of the most popular bars that foreigners would flock to besides the infamous Now bar.  It is a smaller place and unlike the Now bar, there are usually more Koreans than Westerners.  This place is like my Cheers.  They know my name and greet me with my favorite drink and my darts which they hold on to. We have always been treated well here and they even let me juggle bottles one night , but for some reason they wouldn’t let me breathe fire!

The above video was taken by one of my coworkers at my first school in Korea.

We ventured here last night with Patrick and Alex who are leaving soon.  This was our last night with them before they head off on their European adventure. It was nice to come back to Pavox.   Most of the staff has changed since I last visited here, but Danny and Kazoo still are there.  We stayed for a few hours throwing darts and having some great drinks.

JJ Thanks for bringing your camera!

If you ever make it to Pavox, tell them that Mississippi Jason sent you. Try the mint shot, girly, but good!  . Kazoo and Danny will both fix you up with a strong drink, but don’t play them in the darts.They are pretty good. We use to play for beer all the time and let’s just say that I bought them more beer than they bought me.

Pavox is located in Yeongtong on the same side of the street as the Now bar, but closer to the park.  It is located in the last building on the right across from the love motel.  It is on the second floor.  When you get off the elevator, you can’t miss it!
