    Cheers
    John G.

    Giving this place a 5 just because it was near to say I stopped by Cheers. Bartender and server were friendly. Beer and Espresso martini were good. The pizza was ok. Filled out bellies enough to continue playing tourist. It was fun to see the sign outside and walk down the stairs. The original bar downstairs doesn't look anything like the one on the show. For me it was worth a visit and a beer.

    Okay! This was the best thing I had in Boston. It was my first time trying clam chowder, and now I completely understand the hype. The whole Cheers experience was really neat--I don't think I realized before that Cheers was set in Boston, so that made it even more fun. I would definitely return. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because my server rarely checked on me and seemed more attentive to the tables on either side. Aside from that, it was a great experience with really good food.

    Was visiting Boston and came across this by accident. Didn't know there was an actual Cheers restaurant. Grew up watching this show. Was one of my favorites show in the days. So glad we found this while visiting Boston. Of course, had to check them out. I recognized the signage right away. Was thinking how it was inside so we decided to dine here. Just walk down the steps and the entrance is right there. The place was packed. Everyone was having a cheery good time! We waited a few minutes and was seated right away in the back area of the restaurant. There is a bar area and dining area. There's even a souvenir/gifts shop inside. Feels like we were in one of the episodes of Cheers. We ordered the followings: - Carla's Meatballs & Linguini - Mac n Cheese with House Salad - Frasier's Chicken Panini with Fries Foods were not bad at all. Very tasty and enjoyable. We all liked our orders. If you ever visit Boston and is a fan of the show (even if you never heard of the show), come and give them a visit. You'll be glad you did. We sure did.

    Old school vibe reminiscent of the tv show. Stopped during our trolley tour and was excited. Food was good the service was great and the vibe and ambiance was legit. Highly recommend for a quick bite and drink. Check out the souvenir shop as well.

    Wanted to go here once. Only took 37 years. Luckily we got seated right away but others were told a 30 min wait. Everyone's food looked good. Prices are high. I got mozzarella sticks. They were $20 but it was a big portion and was good. The Mac n cheese was just ok. They try to turn the tables over quickly. No need to come back.

    Cheers!

    For nostalgia purposes, this is a great stop to make when visiting the city. I'm a 90s kid who watched the show with fascination, so my inner child loved all of this. The gift shop with the replica bar is actually worth the visit. The bar itself is tiny, and crowded. So if going with a group be prepared to stand or wait a while for one of there tables surrounding the bar. I see there was a food menu, but we didnt eat there. Definitely worth it to grab a cold one, and take tons of cutsey photos. Because I went with a group, my friends ordered on my behalf so I can't speak to the ordering or service on that part. I ordered there blueberry beer on draft and I loved it. I am unsure if this is just a giant tourist trap, but who cares, enjoy!

    Cheers, although you didn't know my name, we truly enjoyed our visit. We enjoyed a couple of ice cold Sam Addams and the sampler platter for a snack. There usually is a long line to get in, so allow yourself plenty of time in case you have to wait. This was a bucket list stop, as we were fans of the tv show. The food was good, the staff was friendly and perhaps the next time I visit, they might even know my name.

    If you've ever wanted to walk into a place "where everybody knows your name," let me tell you--nobody knew mine, but they pretended pretty well, and that's basically the same thing. My colleague and I dropped by as a final stop of our business trip to grab lunch. Why not?. I ordered Rebecca's Fish & Chips, and it was excellent--crispy, light, and flavorful without being greasy. The fries were golden and seasoned just right. My colleague went with the Burger Meister and he enjoyed how savory it was. Big portions, great flavor, and exactly what you want from a classic pub style meal. The atmosphere was warm, fun, and very "Boston," with friendly staff and that iconic cozy vibe. Before leaving I grabbed couple of Cheers coffee mug on my way out, because nothing says "responsible adult" like drinking your morning coffee from a mug that reminds you of a fictional bar. Overall, a great stop for both food and nostalgia. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

    Of course we had to go here since we are visiting Boston. The place has a great ambiance and I enjoyed the music. We were just grabbing a drink and appetizer. The Irish cream was delicious. We ordered pub skins thinking something kinda light as we headed on our way. It was 3 whole potatoes cut in half with cheese and bacon and a side of sour cream. They didn't taste fresh, like they were under a heat lamp or oven for a long time. The waitress was very nice and checked in us. The experience was great though. They had a gift shop and a replica bar which was fun to see.

    Very basic food.. it's more for Nostalgia than anything else.. They have a gift shop upstairs.. The service was good overall can't complaint about that.

    While researching and coming up with an itinerary for our trip to Boston, we knew visiting the original Cheers was a must! It is located in Beacon Hill, across from the Commons! We arrived around 5 or 6pm and got lucky enough to grab a seat at one of their bar areas - yes, there were a couple. We ordered at least 2 or 3 drinks each because....why not? I loved that even though this is a very well known dive bar, they still offered fun Fall drinks that I of course ordered - like a Pumpkin Mudslide and a Chai drink. While we didn't eat at Cheers, the food looked and smelled amazing! The ambiance was so cozy and we just felt very relaxed and welcomed - it definitely lived up to the show and it's theme! The staff were very friendly, personable and accommodating! It was definitely one of the memorable highlights from our vacation last week and I'm so glad we got to visit!

    Do better Cheers!!! The place was busy because its Cheers, a nostalgic landmark. I didn't check the menu or the Yelp reviews before deciding to go. If I did I would have limited my trip to a drink at the bar. The food was simple and average. We ordered the BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza and the Burger Meister with Bacon. The flat bread pizza could have been microwaved, the crust was so soft. Making it difficult to eat without a fork and knife. The toppings were tasty. A different burger arrived at my table and I didn't realize it until after I had already taken a photo. I informed the waitress who apologized and took the burger back to the kitchen. She returned about 3 mins later with the correct burger. It was well done and I had asked for medium well. I didn't send it back though because by then I was already done with the experience.

    Is it crazy to say one of my highlights of visiting Boston was going to Cheers? Yes, I know it's a tourist trap but as a Cheers fan I just had to go. I know the downstairs bar isn't the actual bar but they now have the replica of the set in the upstairs bar. It was fun standing there where Norm sat. The place was packed when we arrived but the bartender was amazingly fast. We just had a beer. No food though the food they were bringing out didn't look bad. We enjoyed our beers, checked out all the memorabilia & the gift shop & were on our way. Fun place to check out and reminisce. 2025-79

    Are there TVs at the bar to watch sports on a Sunday afternoon?

    I recall seeing tvs throughout the restaurant but not AT the bar (though I could be wrong). The bar itself is a bit smol to post up and watch a game at.

    Is the veggie burger vegan, or just vegetarian (aka does it have eggs, cheese, or dairy)?

    Our veggies burger is not vegan as it does contain bread crumbs. Sorry for the inconvenience! Let us know if we can help with any other questions.

    On a Saturday for lunch, where is the best place to park? Is it difficult to find parking on the streets or do I need to pay $15 and park in a garage? Thank you for your…

    Parking is very difficult. I used SpotHero and parked in a parking garage close to the other end of the park.

It's like someone mashed together an amusement park, a zoo, and a full-blown circus, then replaced the cotton candy with alcohol and the safety rails with chaos. Every floor felt like a different dimension--one minute you're vibing, the next you're dodging a human traffic jam like it's bumper cars. But the real main event? Colleen. First floor. Absolute legend. Watching her work was like witnessing a headliner performance before the headliner. She wasn't bartending--she was conducting a symphony of pure mayhem. Drinks flying out of her hands like fireworks, orders remembered with supernatural precision, cracking jokes, keeping the energy electric--it was like if a ringmaster, a magician, and a quarterback all fused into one person behind the bar. I showed up stone-cold sober. Like, "responsible adult grabbing a pre-show drink" sober. What happened next was less of a night out and more of a controlled demolition. Somewhere between Colleen's perfectly poured chaos and the multi-floor madness, time stopped making sense. I'm pretty sure I blacked out on one floor and woke up on another like I was fast-traveling in a video game. At one point I may have been part of the circus. Not watching it--part of it.

Jake n JOES was perfect to host this at because it is a New England sports bar with plenty of TVs, a perfect game day menu, and a lively atmosphere to enjoy a game with sports decor surrounding.

We got there towards the end but scored some merch. We did wait for a table since it was a full house for this, but luckily we scored one with a TV in view. My friends and I got dinner, opted out of drinks this round. I got the chicken quesadilla with a side of spanish rice. The quesadilla was pretty good, but the rice was a little undercooked. They also charged extra for a side of sauce which has never happened before so that was a bummer. I wouldn't have got one if I'd known. Oh well. We then split the cookie sundae which was yummy. Cookie was undercooked and a little raw but it was okay. Still tasted okay, food is always good but nothing to write home about. I like it though. The atmosphere and the shared energy of Boston sports fans being able to come together and enjoy a game makes up for the food being above average. I'll still come back and enjoy a game here.
