bachelor pads

Unmarried men's places

A bachelor pad is a residence occupied by an unmarried man, typically with decor and furnishings that reflect stereotypically masculine tastes—leather furniture, minimal decoration, entertainment systems.

The term suggests a space designed for freedom and socializing rather than domesticity: His bachelor pad had a pool table and a fully stocked bar.

Often used with mild humor or irony.
