The Watering Hole is definitely a restaurant and I went inside and saw that the views from the tables are rather spectacular. The menu is upscale in comparison to the usual "zoo food" and even the washrooms must have cost a fortune as they are pristine and rather unique with their taps and long counters.
This is good to learn. I was only at the park briefly and never made it down this way. I was going by the short article they posted in the member magazine, which described it as a bar (or at least that is how I remember it).
