It might not have been the best place to go but it often holds a special place in people's hearts.
We asked our readers on Facebook: "Where did you go for your first ever pint?" and people responded in the hundreds.
People shared some sweet coming-of-age memories of a first drink shared with a parent, others shared more mischievous not-quite-yet-of-age chancers.
Some pubs are still standing, but others are long gone - and the cost of a pint is significantly more than it was one was.
Here we take a look back at some of our reader's memories of the Yorkshire pubs where they had their first drink.
