theimposter Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 As part of my research I thought it would be interesting to hear peoples memories of that glorious moment when you walk in a pub and get successfully order an alcoholic drink for the first time! In my case it was The Globe one month before my 16th birthday. It was also the only time I visited the pub when it was in its original 4 room configuration. I had a pint of Stones and it went down well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennC Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 In the Norfolk at the bottom of Dixon Lane, I was just 16, I got took by a load of older lads from work:hihi: I had 3 pints of Bitter, I was absolutely bladdered:confused:. The start of a very illustrious drinking career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start of a very illustrious drinking career. Pissartist Laureat eh? LOL ---------- Post added 01-02-2016 at 13:51 ---------- Atlas Hotel Brinsworth, at about 14 or 15 not sure, but I was a big lad and already shaving daily lol. The Atlas was a rarity in those days '59/'60 as it was a free house, not too many around then. My first pint was Youngers at 1/4d tap room price, after a week or two changed to Stones as my regular bitter, but tried them all at some time or another. Still meeting up with my mates from the early days in the Atlas up to about 10 years ago. It is no longer there alas, like most of my favourite pubs of yesteryear.

yorky15 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 For me it was The Elephant in Fitzalan Square, following an afternoon at the flicks next door at the Odeon (just 15yrs old though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hawk n Dove (15years old). A pint of Wards. A fine moment indeed, wiping that thick smooth head off the 3 hairs on my top lip. Manhood had finally arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1789a Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think it's within the Sheffield Boundary- the Fox House Inn. I was 15 and there was just me and a friend as customers one lunchtime. I think it cost 2/4d a pint. The landlord sat with us and enjoyed a pint too. If the Fox House Inn isn't within the city boundary then it was the Buccaneer a few months later when I was still fifteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
