watering place

Where livestock drinks

A watering place is where animals go to drink—a pond, stream, or trough.

For humans, the term historically meant a spa or resort town with mineral springs: Bath was England's fashionable watering place.

It also refers to any place where people gather to drink, whether a bar or a water fountain.
