The teenage discos at the venue in Holmeside were packed and we have a whole gallery of Sunderland Echo archive memories for you to enjoy.
Maybe we got you dancing with pals, watching the action from the back or relaxing with a refreshing drink.
See if you can spot someone you know in these photo memories.
And to enjoy more nostalgia, head to the Sunderland Echo website and click on the retro section.
