Kind of. Saturday Night Fever was officially set in Bay Ridge, and you see a Bay Ridge aerial in the opening shot, there's a Bay Ridge diner scene, and of course the Bridge scene, but most of the movie is shot in Bensonhurst or Sunset Park.
The famous scene where he's walking down the street is on 86th Street in Bensonhurst. His house was in Bensonhurst.
The disco was on the Sunset Park/Bay Ridge border. Nowadays that area is basically Brooklyn Chinatown.
It was a real disco that became a gay dance club in the 1990's and then was demolished for condos a few years back.
