Nicknames are fairly common in the Netherlands and this popular pub owes its odd name to a former proprietor known as D’n Dikke Dries (Old Fat Dries) because of his corpulent build. Nowadays it's a hit with students during the week and at the weekend locals from Wijk C come here in droves. In spite of its small dimensions, the furnishings offer plenty of entertainment. The historical photographs and numerous beer adverts on the wall are worth a closer look, but the two one-armed bandits should probably be ignored. This may also be the only pub in Holland with more disco lights on the ceiling than square metres of floor space.
