10% of the population in Sheffield are students in term-time. There are therefore many varied nights, 70s, 80s etc and I believe Gatecrasher. Prices are 'reasonable' for the North, though obviously higher at the weekend/in trendy bars.

There is Corporation which is alternative and very popular and the leadmill is good for alternative and live gigs too.

Sheffield is a great friendly city with a good mix of nite life. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Its live music scene is growing too after the Artic Monkeys making it big.

I certainly enjoy my weekends back there (did my undergrad degree there and my bf lives there), I'm sure you will too if you choose shef
