bachelor pad

Single man's apartment

A bachelor pad is an apartment or house occupied by an unmarried man, typically one designed or furnished to facilitate dating and entertaining.

The term suggests a space optimized for a single man's lifestyle—stylish, uncluttered by family obligations, and conducive to bringing romantic partners home: He decorated his bachelor pad with a leather couch and a well-stocked bar.
