Bada Bing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bada Bing! (aka the Bada Bing or The Bing) is a fictional go-go bar from the HBO drama television series The Sopranos. All interior and exterior shots of the Bada Bing are filmed on location at Satin Dolls, an actual go-go bar in Lodi, New Jersey.

The Bing is owned and chiefly operated by Silvio Dante, Tony Soprano's consigliere. Tony's office is in the back room(s) of the Bing, and the Soprano Family often conducts business either in the Bing or these back room(s).
