When the popular western pub, Cosby Saloon, closed down, a few of the former employees got together to open a new pub called The Watering Hole. This somewhat smaller offshoot, which opened in March, won't disappoint old Cosby fans. They'll find most of the old Cosby's employees, a homey atmosphere and spectacular Western food. If you're looking for a hearty portion of meat and potatoes, the Watering Hole is the new place to be. They serve several 10-11ounce steaks including: the Rib Eye (NT$300), the Fillet (NT$400) and the New York Strip (NT$400). All steaks come with a side of fries and corn smothered in butter. To keep the customers coming back The Watering Hole runs several daily specials, including many deals of the 'buy-several-get-one-free' type. A sandwich purchase (NT$200) comes with a free beverage of value not exceeding NT$100. Ladies should be sure to drop by on Wednesdays Ladies' Night, with buy two cocktails (NT$150 each) and get one free on offer.
