Overlooking the river in the colonial quarter, this sprawling, graffiti-splattered 'ruin pub' feels a bit like a bombed-out building, but instead is Padang's top traveller hang-out. The beer garden fills up nightly with surfers, backpackers and locals. Beer, pizza and pub food (mains from 40,000Rp) are on the menu, and there are pool tables, live music and even a half-pipe for skateboarders.
Upstairs they have stylish rooms if you're needing a place to stay. It has a small surf and boutique shop at the front, too.
