watering holes
Where animals drink
A watering hole is a pond or stream where animals gather to drink.
The term extends naturally to places where humans gather to drink—bars, pubs, taverns: We hit our favorite watering hole after work.
The phrase often carries a casual, affectionate tone, suggesting a regular spot rather than somewhere unfamiliar.
