I sat at the bar and tried the pumpkin, cinnamon beer. Was asked how I liked it and said it was a little sweet for my liking. The bar lady switched it out for an IPA. Such attentive service!

Upstairs bar is the set bar. We we're here on a crowded hi day weekend and we're still able to find a spot to sit after waiting just a few mins. Had a beer and bowl of clam chowder.

The inspiration for the TV show “Cheers” at Beacon Hill. Not everyone will immediately know your name, but you’ll surely meet lots of people here who’ll be glad you came! Kids allowed up to 10 pm.

Super exclusive, great beer selection

The Giant Norm Burger is a delight. Calling it a whopper on steroids is apt. We also had the starter platter which had the best of everything. The drinks were refreshing, just with too much ice.

Of all the touristy stuff we did this was probably the most touristy. Like everything else in Boston it wasn't cheap. I did like the chili and it was a good amount. It has 2 gift shops.

This is a great place to visit. Good beers, food and the locals are very friendly. The bartender upstairs was extremely friendly and on her game for customer service.

Cheers! Not everyone knows your name but it's worth a gander just for the nostalgia. Simple bar food that fills you up, great beer selection.

Hoegaarden and fresh fish & chips its a winner. Window. Seat facing Beacon Street is worth wait a while. Good times www.SkyHighArt.com Cheers!

Its a dive bar downstairs and a full mock of the tv show bar upstairs place smelled a bit not recommended but if your a fan of the show by all means see it get a beer

The inspiration for the show is downstairs. Go upstairs for a replica of the set from the show. Enjoy a beer in Norms spot!

Though everyone may not know your name most people know why you want to be here. Go ahead, be a tourist, visit the place and enjoy a pint or Norm's beer!

Originally known as Bull & Finch Pub in honor of Boston architect Charles Bulfinch. TV show almost based in Kansas City or Barstow, CA. Cliff actually auditioned to play Norm! More info in blog.<LINK> Read more

Nobody will know your name, but who cares; you’re in a place of classic television history!

I'm a server here, and I highly recommend our Bacon Blue Burger. Make sure to ask your server about the beers of the month, we're all pretty knowledgeable about the booze!

If you go and want a seat, always tell the hostess staff that you are eating. Otherwise they won't seat you. You have to just stand and hope to be seen over the crowd at the bars.

The main set is up stairs and the bar is down stairs.the bar isn't the actual cheers bar that is upstairs but is only a set.
Jose JiménezFebruary 9, 2016
Great burgers and fish n chips. The ambiance is awesome, too.
Shermans TravelAugust 9, 2012

Enjoy one of our 8 local beers on tap with 4 more imports and domestics on tap. As a server here we strive to make sure you have a great time. Best chowdah is boston plus phenomincal burgers

Touristy but a solid experience. Grab a spot at the upstairs bar.

Can get very crowded, and they don't take reservations. Definitely visit if you enjoyed the show!
Denise D.September 2, 2019
Didn’t get to eat here but I enjoyed touring the set of the bar from the show and the gift shop.
Luis FSAugust 9, 2014
Couldn't find Norm seating at the bar, but besides that, like being in the tv show. Gift shop is inside and has Norm nuts :-))
Allison KaminskiJanuary 3, 2015
Gotta go and get a beer in a cheers glass! Don't forget to you can buy it too!
Erik CintronNovember 15, 2015
It's pure nostalgia nothing else. Over priced everything and considering the show ended 20 years ago, It should be more humble. The memorabilia is expensive just like the drinks. Go just cuz.
Kara OvercasherNovember 3, 2012
Such a great place! Turkey club sandwich was to die for!! I plan on re watching episodes of cheers to feel like I'm in it!!!!
Robert SeeryNovember 17, 2013
The "set bar" is vibrant and fun. Meet some locals and pretty soon "everybody knows you name"!
ArtJonakMarch 27, 2012
Since I don't drink, I ordered a water. Apparently not a lot of people do that at Cheers! LOL. Super fun place... great to see NORM and FRAZIER name plates, etc.
Nikole FuquaMarch 22, 2015
Fun place! A little bummed to find out the show wasn't filmed here
The Liberty HotelJanuary 30, 2012
Where everybody knows your name – located right down the street from the Liberty. We recommend trying one of the eNormous burgers.
Patty MontazeriJuly 28, 2017
Great pub food. Loved the french fries and seltzer drink.
Ryan StinerSeptember 2, 2016
Cold beer and a juicy burger. Try the bacon and blu burger and a local brew. Cheers!

Go in the off times. This place will get packed
Mark GoehringJuly 11, 2014
Carla's meatballs were AMAZING... SO was the steak sammich!

If in a group you MUST first tell them seperate checks or it will be a nightmare afterwards.

This place is great! Excellent service and Jeff is the best bartender!
Bret SheeleyAugust 23, 2011
Avoid the fish'n'chips like the plague, but their burgers are to murd- uh... die for. Damn good desserts too.
Sara FarrellMarch 28, 2010
The salmon was amazing. Blue cheese burger was great too. Ask to go upstairs to "the set". Very very cool. Must check it out!
alyssa trunzoMarch 16, 2016
Great food and friendly staff!
David ChadOctober 19, 2012
Go in, buy a beer and have some bar snacks. Oh yeah, don't expect it to look like the bar on TV!
Cynthia FranksJuly 30, 2022
They have their own root beer and it’s great
Kelli BlissJune 1, 2016
Delicious salmon, burgers and more!
Monica FerrellSeptember 19, 2014
Having a beer in Cheers. How original. But at least we are here with great friends.
Jeffrey GilesSeptember 27, 2014
Fun place....cool reminiscences of the Ols Cheers show. Poor service!

Pinto Dennis is the best bartender at this place. But besides that, they got Brick Red!

The norm burger is delicious!
Morgan LintonDecember 3, 2012
Sit in Norm's seat and live the dream. Just remind people to yell "Norm!" when you walk in to get the full effect.
