— owner (during Disco years) Staffan Linder
— the official name was Berzelii Terrassen, but it went by the name BZ in short
— the club was located on the 6:th floor, the top floor, of the same building as the famous China Theater and just opposite legendary Berns Salonger
— BZ became a club already in 1928
— in 1966 BZ was destroyd in a fire and rebuilt with panorama windows and with a removeable roof over the dancefloor where one could dance under the stars
— yours truly will never forget one snowy winter night dancing on the jam-packed BZ floor, roof was opened and snow fell down cooling down the intense heat
— BZ became a "real" Disco in 1978 after many years of live music from different cover dancebands
— ABBA shot their video for "Dancing Queen" in BZ
— during lunchtime the club worked as an upscale lunch restaurant
— sadly the club was shut and teared down in 1999, that was the end of a historical institution in the Stockholm nightlife
