The nightclub Cinco in Umeå has come under scrutiny following several police visits that revealed alarming levels of intoxication among patrons. Notably, during a school event for high school seniors, authorities found an individual unconscious and vomiting in the restroom, along with reports of excessive drinking and unsafe behavior among guests. Umeå municipality alcohol and tobacco officer, Lina Lindberg, highlighted the seriousness of the situation, mentioning ongoing issues of disorder at the venue.

Critics point out that the nightclub has been serving alcohol to overly intoxicated guests, allowing large bar orders to be made without tracking who would consume the drinks. The police have also indicated that the club has had less security presence than required, leading to incidents involving not only intoxicated patrons but also individuals under the influence of drugs. These issues raise concerns about the safety and management protocols in place at the venue.

In response to the criticism, the nightclub's CEO, Fredrik Johansson, did not agree to an interview but communicated via text message that the management takes the warnings seriously. An action plan has reportedly been put in place to address these concerns, although specifics were not provided. This situation reflects broader issues of club management and safety in nightlife settings within Umeå and could impact future regulatory measures regarding alcohol service in the area.
