WATERHOLE (THE) – American
A Bell Shoals Road dive with the lights low and every game on: The Water Hole has been Valrico's neighbourhood sports bar since 1994. Pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, a golf machine, a jukebox that actually gets used, and bartenders who move fast. The wings are why the regulars are regulars, hot and crisp and out quickly, with a Philly cheesesteak, patty melt, cheeseburger, chicken tenders, tater tots and a chili dog rounding out the board. The crowd is half locals, half whoever wandered in off the road. Old-school, unpretentious, and packed on game nights.
