Intercon Dance-Diner opens at Stonebow

Intercon's new dance-diner opens at Stonebow House, York on the ground floor above the Bavarian bier keller which the company started at the end of October 1972,

The dance-diner, which provides, music, dancing, drinks, food, colour and excitement is a continental development of the discotheque and is already drawing in youngsters in a big way in Harrogate, Ilkley, and Wakefield in the West Riding (Yorkshire).

The York dance-diner follows a successful pattern of the ones Intercon's has opened in these other towns. It has a long beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks bar, intimate strobe projected blue red and orange lighting, very plush carpeting and leather hexagonal seating, disc jockeys on circuit for music and two railed off dance floors.

The general colour theme is burnt orange. The carpet has beige and black tints and the wallpaper has deep bronze shades too. The effect is warm and luxurious.

An open stairs leads to a balcony restaurant with a full a la carte menu of steaks and grills etc. with waitress service.

OPENING NIGHT

Opening night disc jockey Kingsley Allison says there's a most comprehensive selection of dance records. Two Goldring Lenco stereo record turntables provide high quality sound through seven loudspeakers installed at strategic points throughout the roughly circular area including secluded corners and alcoves.

The dance-diner is open from 7.30pm to 1 a.m , Tuesdays to Saturday inclusive (closed Sunday and Monday). The admission charge is 25p on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 60p on Friday and Saturday. The manager is Mr. F. W. Moorby.

The Name !
 
 

The name Intercon was coined by Mr John Owen when Intercon Finance (Northern) Ltd., was set up. Mr. Owen managing director of the company travelled across the Continent searching for ideas and researching into how continental discotheques were being run.

Hence the name Intercon which, since it saw the light of day in a company title in June 1970. The idea behind the name is “create dance-diner with good bright, modern, décor, which provides value for money.” says Mr. Moorby, the manager.
