    The bar from which the tv show was made? Hmmm - I dont think so.. - If you are near the Boston common.. do walk by just to see the sign..and the stairs that lead down inside..but after that the likeness ends.. - see the sign, take a picture, and keep on walking to things that are far more interesting.. The State house is just up the hill and is far more exciting..

    If you must go.. take a Tourist with you, so you dont feel so silly! Here's my friend Graham from England enjoying his trip to the Cheers bar! I will also tell you that one of the bar-tenders there isnt too too fond of British people. He griped about them constantly the entire time Graham and I were there. Which I think was a bit rude considering that there were a couple British people within hearing distance! It was still fun though..

  • CHEERS!!! The Cheers Bar/Restaurant is not what it is on TV. The inside is nothing like the Cheers on TV. You`ll be disappointed when you come here, unless you want to buy Cheers memorabilia. But you can always come & take a picture next to the sign. Everyone does. Just to say you came. :-) Address: 84 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108. 617-227-9605. Located directly across from the Public Garden.

    Boston has its fair share of tourist traps. One of them is the Bull & Finch Pub, supposedly the inspiration for the hit TV series "Cheers". It certainly looks like Cheers from the outside, in fact shots of the exterior were used in the series. But the interior is nothing like what you'd expect. Norm and Cliff are nowhere to be seen either. I'm so disappointed.

    ... travel incognito. Don't let anyone recognize you.!

    Go to a real pub. Beer is beer after all.

    The Cheers Bar. Okay, folks it was just a television show. And although it was a good show at first, it became very monotous and was probably on a few years too long. Besides the inside of the real Cheers Bar here in Boston looks nothing like the television version. Surprised? Don't be and don't bother...there will probably be a long line of tourists trying to get in anyway.

    Go to a real Boston Pub, head around the corner to Charles Street and go to the Beacon Hill Pub...

  • Cheers Bar. It is not where you think it is and does not look like the one in the TV series. It is a real tourist trap.

    'CHEERS'...I would say is quite the tourist trap. If you are not familiar, it was a great tv show based on a bar in Boston. For you that already know, this place looks nothing like the Cheers bar and is not too exciting.

  • Cheers Bar--made famous from the show, 'Cheers'--this place looks nothing like the bar on the show--a major disappointment for me. However, they do sell merchandise with the famous Cheers logo--so you may want to hit the sales shop.

  • The 'Cheers' bar from the show Cheers. Definately a tourist trap but worth a visit. The name of the pub is really The Bull & Finch Pub lcated on 84 Beacon St, Beacon Hill MA

    Oy--I feeling like everything is a tourist trap in Boston. It is a relatively small city, so when tourists come (mostly in the summer), the short list of 'places of interest' are all abuzz with tourists. By far the biggest tourist trap is the 'Cheers' on Beacon St. It is cool to walk by and see where the outside shots for the long-running U.S. sitcom Cheers were filmed. But the actual interior of this place is not the same as the actual Cheers (which was filmed in a studio in California somewhere) and should not be a major attraction on anyone's itinerary. Also, a lot of the restaurants in Boston are definite tourist traps--you will spend too much money for food that ain't that great, and you will probably wait in line to do so. In summer, the restaurants in the North End all have at least 40-minute waits for a table, so that you can shell $12 (minimum) for a plate of pasta and some sauce that costs the restaurant about $1 to make. Artu (the restaurant) is the worst offender, I think, because their portions are teeny and not very flavorful or interesting, yet expensive.

  • The CHEERS bar... I am ashamed to admit that I have never been there, even though it is a favorite among Boston's tourists ! One of these days I will go and take a picture, just so that I can express some sort of opinion about it.
