Watering holes are places where people gather to socialize and enjoy drinks. The term encompasses a variety of establishments, including lounges, SALOONS, oases, PUBS, INNS, bars, TAPROOMS, and spas. Lounges are typically more upscale than SALOONS, which are often associated with the Wild West. Oases are desert oases that provide a place for travelers to rest and refresh. PUBS are traditional British drinking establishments, while INNS are similar but offer lodging as well. Bars are casual drinking establishments, while TAPROOMS specialize in serving beer. Finally, spas are places where people can relax and enjoy drinks in a more luxurious setting.
