This retro photo gallery shows some of the most popular nightspots around the city at the time, from restaurants and cinemas to pubs and clubs.
Between them, they catered for all tastes, whether it was a romantic meal you were after or you wanted to party into the small hours.
The much-missed Sheffield nightspots pictured in these nostalgic images include Josephine’s, Fiesta, the Penny Farthing, Hofbrauhaus and Scamps, among many others, where the beer flowed freely and the dancefloor was heaving.
You may remember dining at the Golden Egg or the Berni Steak Bar, both pictured, or watched the decade’s biggest blockbusters, including Jaws and Star Wars, at the Classic Cinema or the Odeon on Flat Street.
Do these photos bring back any memories for you, and what do you think was Sheffield’s best pub or nightclub during the 70s?
