Quick info
About The WaterHole
The WaterHole is a pub in Skegness at 6-9 Tower Row. The bar pours a selection of lagers, beers and ales, plus wines and spirits, and no hot food is served. Sports play on multiple TVs and large screens, and a pool table gives groups a game to play alongside the drinks. Vaping is allowed inside, so guests who vape can do so indoors. Seating is on the main floor, and the men's and women's toilets are upstairs. Regulars and visitors can ask about the loyalty card, which gives a discount on drinks.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are the most repeated praise, with reviewers calling them polite and helpful. Close behind are the loyalty card, which several say takes money off drinks, and the huge sports screens, along with a good spread of lagers, ales, wines and spirits. One reviewer mentions the pool table, and another calls it a pub that blends in with most others and does what it says on the tin. Locals and holidaymakers both turn up. Food is a weak point, with one reviewer noting there is no hot food and another calling it OK. Vaping indoors draws the most complaints. Two reviewers object even though a smoking area is outside, and one describes a man vaping for hours. One reviewer reports being racially abused by another customer and says a staff member seemed unbothered. Another finds the beer cheap but not the best. One diner adds that a couple had a pizza delivered without staff comment, and that a hot chocolate arrived lukewarm and had to be drunk quickly before it went cold.

“We come to Skegness on our holidays twice a year. We were here on our last night of our recent holiday on Friday night. Quite simply the BEST pub in Skeggy! Lovely staff and a great chilled atmosphere. We ALWAYS look forward to coming in here and the discount card is FANTASTIC!”

“Popped in for a quiet drink yesterday. Only just to be abused off a racist customer saying your black. I am mixed race not black I replied. A member of staff didn't seem bothered and let the customer stay and drink in the pub. He told me he has no training. It was damn right disrespectful and rude.”
