With a beer in one hand and a joystick in the other, Padbar is a concept club for gamers (not gay men, sorry for the confusion), and apparently the first of its kind in PL. Looking little more than a student dive, the investment obviously went into equipment, not decor, in this underground bar full of black sofas, bean bags, plywood tables and dozens of flatscreen TVs where you can play seemingly every video game, for every gaming system ever created. But Padbar isn't limited to video games - there are plenty of board games as well, plus the obligatory Warhammer and Magic crowds, and even kids playing quarters and flip cup. With walls featuring stencil art of Rambo and Einstein with game consoles in their hands, and a menu with cocktail names like 'Princess Zelda' and 'Crash Bandicoot', this place is impressively thought out, wildly popular and loud with laughter. A great place to meet people, make new friends, get nostalgic and have a blast, few places are as fun and friendly as Padbar. Game on.
