What\u2019s the beer like, are the patrons friendly and are the snacks worth snarfing? EM\u2019s night owl Lana van der Meer looks for the best student hangouts \u2013 so you know where you\u2019ll be dancing, dating or drinking tonight.<\/p>\n

Outside it\u2019s freezing cold, and so blustery that cyclists nearly end up in the Westersingel. Fortunately, on the very same canal you find a bar that offers a cure for the winter chill: Amehoela.<\/p>\n

All women crew<\/h2>
<\/div>

You start warming up as soon as you step into Amehoela\u2019s tropical-themed interior. And the alcohol doesn\u2019t hurt either. We\u2019re given a friendly welcome by bartender Alina. She\u2019ll be shaking our cocktails this evening. From a Tomahawk to a Heidi Montag (the reality star from The Hills<\/em>). The latter is so mind-numbingly pink that your teeth hurt just by looking at it; but it has a surprisingly fresh sweetness. And another thing: the bar crew are all women. This isn\u2019t a conscious policy, says Alina, but she likes it nonetheless. \u201cAnd it\u2019s good for turnover,\u201d she winks.<\/p>\n

Why even go to the trouble of putting up art if you can use a projector? The entire wall is full from one end to the other with framed pictures of animal heads on human torsos. It\u2019s too late for a bite to eat, by the way: the kitchen is closed. But from 5 p.m. you can order Mexican dishes and snacks, in keeping with the Latin American background music. The bar\u2019s name seems less appropriate, though. As far as we know, Amehoela means \u2018get lost!\u2019 \u2013 in a bad way \u2013 and we aren\u2019t really feeling that vibe. Everyone seems to be chatting away and having a good time.<\/p>\n
