These photos show some of the most popular pubs and clubs in the city half a century ago, where the beer flowed freely and the dancefloor was heaving.
Josephine’s, Fiesta, the Penny Farthing, Hofbrauhaus and Scamps are just some of the legendary nightspots pictured in these nostalgic images.
Also pictured are some fondly remembered restaurants of the 70s, including the Golden Egg and the Berni Steak Bar.
This retro photo gallery features a couple of lost cinemas from back then too, where moviegoers flocked to watch blockbusters like Star Wars and Jars.
How many of these venues featured in your recipe for a perfect night out in Sheffield back in the 1970s, and is your favourite among them? Let us know in the comments section.
