A bachelor pad is a slang term for a house (pad) in which a bachelor or bachelors (single men) live. It should not be confused for the formal term "bachelor apartment", which is used in real estate to refer to an apartment with no bedrooms, in which the main room serves as a bedroom, living room and dining room (and sometimes kitchen).
