The Paradise Cantina was a run down bar located on Bador , one of two moons of the Core World Kuat , in a seedy neighborhood of the city of Bunar . Situated five kilometers south of a large public spaceport , the cantina was built with masonry construction , and possessed multiple doors . Over the bar ' s entrance was a sign that read " Welcome to the Paradise Cantina , " followed by a warning that no helmets were allowed inside . By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War , the Paradise Cantina ' s outer facade had fallen into a state of scarred disrepair : blasterfire had left burnt blisters in the paint on the doors , the walls were pocked from the impact of multiple ballistic rounds , and an amount of blood had been left to pool and dry near the entrance . The inside of the cantina featured tile flooring , and accommodations for patrons to sit while enjoying their drinks . The air smelled of stale ale , vomit , and oil . The Paradise Cantina possessed a long countertop bar , attended to by a barkeep , with shelves stocked with liquor and stacked glasses located behind it . Complimentary snacks were offered in dishes at the bar , including pickle s that bore a physical resemblance to eyeballs ; establishment policy required the purchase of a drink in order to partake of the bar snacks .

In 40 ABY , the bounty hunter Mirta Gev tracked stolen data she had been hired to recover to the Paradise Cantina . At the same time , the Mandalorian Jaing Skirata came to the Paradise in order to confront the local crime boss Cherit over the trafficking of Twi ' lek women to Kuati nobles . Anticipating violence , Gev departed before a prolonged and damaging shootout broke out that left Cherit dead . Local security forces investigated the cantina in the aftermath . Weeks later , Gev led her grandfather , the reigning " Mand ' alor " Boba Fett , to the Paradise Cantina in search of Skirata . Upon entering , the two came into conflict with the Paradise ' s Kuati bartender , who resented the Mandalorian pair ' s appearance after the havoc Skirata previously wreaked . Though he attempted to retrieve an illegal , sawn - off Tenloss disruptor rifle from behind the bar , Fett and Gev successfully subdued the bartender and persuaded him to give up what information he had on Skirata .
