water hole
Wildlife drinking spot
A water hole is a natural depression where water collects, especially in arid regions where animals gather to drink: Lions often hunt near water holes.
The term extends to any place where people congregate for drinks—a bar or watering hole: The pub was the neighborhood's favorite water hole.
