Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Pointless
Nobody knows your name here at the Bull & Finch Club, but they will rip you off w/ stupid t-shirts.

Seriously, don't go.

The Beacon Hill Pub will give you an authentic divey bar experience. 149 Charles St. Get a bottle - pint glasses are questionable. Or try the Kells in Allston: 161 Brighton Ave. College kids abound, but at least it's more authentic.

Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Two Cheers
Okay. There are two "Cheers" meccas for those so inclined. One is the obvious Bull and Finch pub, on Beacon St. This was the bar that inspired the show. The exterior is what was sometimes seen between commercials. I'm told the inside, looks nothing like the Cheers we know and love. The other Cheers place is the Cheers restuarant, in Fanneuil market. It is a restuarant designed to look like the Hollywood set. Well, the bar looks close, and the walls are decorated with sports memorobilia, other than that, it looks nothing like the actual set. The wait was not long, and the food was not bad. Good if you can get in easily enough, otherwise not worth the wait, unless you absolutely want to tell people that you ate at Cheers.

The "trap" here is thinking that you will walk into the bull and finch and see Cheers, or walk into the restaurant, and think you are on the real set. Neither is true, though it is fun to eat at either place, being in Boston and all. Like I said, skip it if the wait is too long.

The Cheers restaurant was not bad as a restaurant, just bad as a Cheers replica. If Cheers does not appeal, there are plenty of restaurants in the Fanneuil Market area.

Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: The ultimate tourist trap
Please, for the love of god, help end the madness by refusing to go to Cheers while you're in Boston. It's by far the biggest tourist trap in the city. Let me save you the trouble: The outside of the building is just like you saw it on the tv show. Everything else is completely different; the inside is nothing at all like the set for the show. The prices are absurd, and there's nothing special about it at all. But that doesn't stop countless people from going there each year. Do yourself a favor and skip Cheers. There are plenty of other (and better) things to do and see in Boston.

Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: Cheers a.k.a The Bull & Finch Pub
The Bull & Finch is a neat restaurant but the only part that was on the actual Cheers show was the outside and the stairs. The inside doesnt even look like the show. It was a good restaurant but overpriced. In Quincy Market there is a replica of the Cheers set and its an actual restaurant and bar.

The Cheers Bar - I actually went there for the first time last year, because I was entertaining some friends from out of town. The inside looks nothing like the TV show. Prices are expensive, and there's not much room. Take you pictures out front.

Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: The biggest tourist trap and...
The biggest tourist trap and the biggest disappointment about Boston had to be Cheers. The real bar that the TV show was based on is horribley commercialized not to mention really small. I spent 6 bucks for a pint then I saw that you can buy a Norm-burger with Frazier-fries off the menu so I split.

This place is probably the biggest tourist trap in all of Boston! Great to stop and get a quick photo outside, but that's about it! Inside is nothing like the television set. For a more accurate replication, visit the one at Faneuil Hall.

Get a picture taken. Go across the street and walk through the very nice Boston Commons.

Bull & Finch Pub / Cheers: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
Yes, this is a local tourist trap. No, you will not be fooled. When you enter the Bull and Finch (Cheers) you know it is a tourist trap. But....YOU DO NOT CARE! This is where you came to see a little of the past, regarding the TV hit show,"CHEERS".

To make your vist to the "Cheers" location, all the worthwhile, make sure you pose with the cast of "cheers". lol

If the Bull and Finch (Cheers) bar isn't for you, it seems as if there is a bar/restaurant on every corner of Boston. Check out my travelogue on bars on this Boston page. Cheers!!!
