  • Tip Rating:
  • Cheers - the bar... the restaurant, etc. You know, the famous pub from the hit TV show. While it's kind of funny to see the entrance to this highly recognized pub, I just drove by it. There are too many other places to explore in Boston... unless you're a die hard Cheers fan. ;)

  • Cheers is a tourist trap, but one I would recommend. Pictured is my dear Alphons from Netherlands. The show Cheers is very popular there. I will be back with more later :-)

  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't bother looking for the 'Cheers' bar. It's nothing like the real set and really not worth the effort... The old city graveyard is a more interesting place to visit (seriously). Do recommend taking the short train ride to 'Salem'. Yes, it is a tour-isty place, but a very scenic and fun. You may learn something new about the 'Salem Witch Trials' (we did) and it is fun to tour some of the old houses. Take one of the 'walking tours' - lots of historic information on the area and the seaport that is there. A few good beer pubs around too. Interesting to see a place that you have heard many stories about.

    Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Where's Norm?
    Although it's a tourist trap, most first time visitors will still want to check out the Bull & Finch Pub (Cheers). Although the interior doesn't look anything like the bar was saw on TV, most will still recognize the many details that inspired it.

    I wouldn't suggest waiting in line to get in, because you'll likely be disappointed. A photo outside will suffice for most tourists. If you re lucky enough, like we were, that there is no line up to get in, then by all means go in and have a pint. Just don't expect to see Cliff and norm at the corner of the bar when you walk in.

    If you are in search of a beer, any of the other nearby pubs will do.

    Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Cheers
    Bull & Finch was once a great bar, not unlike the TV Show Cheers, which was based on the Bar. But it is now a tourist trap, and you are much better off just dropping into any local dive to get a good flavor of Boston.

    Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Cheers Boston
    Cheers bar in Boston is well worth a visit, OK it's not the interior bar we all know BUT! It's a good bar, we spent New Year there and the hard working Irish bartender gave all patrons a free champagne toast. It's a friendly bar (almost Britsh) a good drinking den with TV sentiment, I loved it.. and I'm Scottish (really, Arbroath BTW!)

    Avoid the daytime lunch patrons and go in there to drink. Have your photo taken by 'the sign' it's truly a good memory.

    AVOID Bar 10 in the Westin Hotel!

    Go by Cheers (aka "Bull and Finch"), walk down the stairs and see the wooden Indian. After that, promptly turn around and go to another restaurant to eat. Except for the outside, it looks nothing like the television version of Cheers. I know it's just a TV show but still... I'll always be disappointed by that.

    I'd suggest you walk through the Boston Common/Public Gardens and head over to Faneuil Hall (pronounced not the way it should be in French but instead "fan-yuhl"). The restaurants there are great. If they're too packed walk up to The Kinsale. The food's pretty good but more importantly, no one's ever there. ;)

    Honestly, if you spend your Boston vacation at Cheers you should rethink your life.
