At the beginning of the Third Long, Victor Dahlberg, co-owner of the Brewers restaurant, is about to close for the night. In one hand he has a garbage can, in the other a key.
– An evening that gave some hope. You can say that, he says.
Friday night’s pay has been the best in a long time. Which is not saying much these days, Victor Dahlberg bluntly asserts.
But there are those who are worse off. Other restaurants have bought popular beer so they can continue to serve guests when the alcohol ban goes into effect every night. Soon it will not be possible either.
– I feel a little sorry for them, says Victor Dahlberg.
A car with young people stops. The music is loud, the voices are the same. They laugh and move on.
Full of traffic cops
In Nordhemsgatan, between Tredje and Fjärde lång, a huge police bus has parked. It belongs to the traffic police and houses a full office at the rear.
Outside the Wandas strip club, a BMW conducts a check. The guy on the passenger side gets out and shows what he’s got in his pockets as a cop searches through the back door. Right next door, a renewed couple is arguing.

The BMW is allowed to go and a taxi driver is examined instead. A girl from Wandas who is smoking glows when she hears that it is the traffic police.
– I just got my driver’s license, so I want to learn, she says.
Further down the street is Medina Goretic, 20, who lives nearby, with a cigarette in his hand. She watches the police uprising while she waits for her boyfriend to pick her up.
– It is empty! Not like it usually is. We can really hope this happens soon, he says.
I never lived in a Gothenburg without a crown
If you put your blindfold hands next to your eyes and just look at, say, Holy Moly, you can almost pretend that everything is as usual. It is around 9.30 pm and the restaurant is open and has many guests. But the strongest served is popular beer.
– It is positive anyway, that there will be less filling. Absolutely, says 23-year-old Felix Granberg of Skara.
He and several other gang members seen behind the window have only lived here since August last year and thus never experienced a Gothenburg without a crown.
“We have missed the heyday of Gothenburg,” as one of them puts it.

I guess a lot of people along the street tonight feel something like Felix Granberg: a certain division.
– You want to go out as usual, although perhaps you should be at home. But if we are sitting in a corner of a corner here or in a corner of someone’s house …
The discussion flows into the light in the tunnel after the crown. Felix Granberg, who lives a stone’s throw away, shines.
– What I look forward to the most is the Second Long Day! It’s a shame they miss you.
