A long wait for disco goers is over.
On Friday night, Stureplan’s restaurants opened after just over six months.
Strict restrictions apply, but not everyone is convinced that they can be followed.
– I don’t believe in that for a second, says Rasmus Rönnkvist, 24.
As of March 25, the government prohibited hanging bars and instead only allowed table service in the tavern.
This meant he was ready to party at the nightclubs around Stureplan, which closed in connection with the announcement.
On Friday night, several of the restaurants reopened, including Spy Bar, The Wall, and Nosh and Chow. Strict restrictions apply. According to Linda Nordlund, Marketing Manager at Stureplansgruppen, guests can be content with table service and only as many people as there are seats are allowed in.

The spread of the infection has increased in Stockholm in recent days. According to the Stockholm Region, 855 new cases of covid-19 have been found during the last three days, compared to 622 cases in the same period the previous week. Currently, 37 people are being treated for the disease in one of the hospitals in the region.
“We have rebuilt our nightclubs to ensure social distancing, where the room has been adapted and furnished so that guests can keep a safe distance from each other from an infection control point of view,” Linda Nordlund writes in an email. to Aftonbladet.

Rasmus Rönnkvist, 24, thought the nightlife in Stureplan was “pretty dead.”
Expand the workforce
Restaurants also make it easy to maintain hygiene on site.
“Staff and guests have the opportunity to wash their hands with soap and water. There is hand alcohol on site, as well as posters with the necessary information on how the spread of the infection can be prevented, ”he writes.
The nightclubs are investing additional resources in staff that will ensure that the guidelines and recommendations of the Public Health Agency are followed.
“We turn away people with symptoms, cleaning routines are expanded, and our specially expanded staff works actively to prevent congestion both in our facilities, at the entrance, and through specially marked queuing systems,” he writes.
Aftonbladet visited Stureplan on Saturday night and met with Bakhiis Ahmed, 23, and Wafae Tajjiou, 21. They went out to celebrate Wafae’s birthday and believe it is positive that the nightclubs are open again.
– It’s fun, there wasn’t much to choose from. It is not so much what is open now, it is very sad, says Bakhiis Ahmed.
Both girls are convinced that it will be difficult to get disco guests to respect the restrictions.
– In fact, I don’t think they stick to the rules. They will be drunk and they will get up and dance.
Rasmus Rönnkvist, 24, is in the same vein:
– I don’t think for a second they’re going to do that. It is a bit akward.
