Nightclubs
With two universities and a large college, Sheffield has a dense student population. As such, the city hosts a large number of nightclubs, pubs and music venues. Large clubs include the internationally renowned Gatecrasher, the Leadmill, Kingdom and Corporation. There are also a number of pubs and bars around the city that showcase local bands, including The Boardwalk and The Grapes in the city centre.
Corporation nightclub – on Milton Street in the city centre – has had rave reviews from most of the national rock magazines, including Kerrang!. Drinks are very cheap, and there are offers most nights. The club has three floors, with two large dance floors and also hosts gigs and live music events.
Corporation is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with DJs delivering Sk8, ska-punk and metal, current and classic indie and drum’n’bass, hardcore, punk and emo sounds.
