No moderate drinkers allowed. Punters preferably leave the Kralingen caf\u00e9 Hoekzight on all fours.<\/p>\n

At least, that\u2019s how Ramon \u2013 tanned, even in winter \u2013 sees it. \u201cWe serve tea, but only if we have to. This is where you let your hair down. No moderate\u00a0drinkers here, that\u2019s our slogan.\u2019\u2019 His caf\u00e9 is known as the best bar in Kralifornia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That sounds wrong, but Hoekzight is slightly wrong. On the wall, there\u2019s an outrageous but homely living room wallpaper. Next to the flat screen,<\/em> there\u2019s a portrait of Erasmus, and above the bar there\u2019s a bell that you can ring to buy a round for the bar. Ramon: \u201cThings aren\u2019t quite right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

'Put your pants back on'<\/h3>

And that\u2019s why Hoekzight is so well known. Mainly among students, members of the corps<\/em> in particular. Members regularly come into the pub, dozens at a time. No member of staff looks askance when a freshman appears trouserless at the bar. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty standard, so after a couple of hours we say: OK, that\u2019s enough, put your pants back on. Then we\u2019ve had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things can get wild, very wild. Ramon keeps tight-lipped to make sure no one gets done. However \u2013 see the smirk \u2013 it\u2019s always fun when Victoria\u2019s Secret<\/em> recurs as the theme of a student party. The ideal opportunity to score, apparently. In the old fashioned way, at the classic bar. Or afterwards, when the party moves on to a club house. As long as you\u2019re no moderate\u00a0drinker, obviously.<\/p>\n
