But many of the city's best-known pubs are no longer with us. So we thought we'd take you down memory lane. How many of these do you remember? Share your memories.
1. Smiths Arms
Did you pop into the Smiths Arms for a quick drink? It was at 7 Westgate End and is now Wakefield Floorcare.
3. The Primrose Tavern
Did you meet up in the Primrose Tavern? The building still stands on Monk Street, Wakefield.
4. The Jolly Sailor
Did you drink at this pub when it was the Jolly Sailor? It's now the Wharfside pub on Thornes Lane Wharf, which has been called a 'little gem of a pub' on Tripadvisor.
