It's unlikely the city will ever see nightlife like it again.
The sheer number and variety of venues on offer in 1970s Sheffield dwarfs anything we have today: cabaret clubs, discotheques, pubs, restaurants, Working Men's Clubs, out-of-town nightclubs, live music venues and even a 24 hour Wimpy.
Club Fiesta was like having a piece of Las Vegas sat at the end of Arundel Gate. If you didn't like cabaret there was the likes of Josephine's, Top Rank, Penny Farthing and Hofbrauhaus if you liked things a little more mainstream, the Buccaneer for the rockers and you'd got The Limit if punk was your bag.
Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Sheffield is the must-have read for anyone that experienced the era first hand or anyone that simply wants to find out what they were missing.

This book became famous nationally as the title that persuaded Chris and Ann Jackson to re-marry after 25 years apart!
