    Giant Norm Burger
    Griffin B.

    Yeah, ok, we caved and came to the tourist attraction. But you know what? This was a very pleasant surprise. First off, yes, it's not the bar from the show. But they have done a great job giving the entire joint a serious style and vibe that makes it feel like you could have taken it right out of the television. Lots of vintage decor and show memorabelia, definitely cool to see. The establishment kind of consists of three or four different dining rooms, and you know that it will almost certianly be busy when you come, as it was when we did. But I gotta give props to the staff, who did a great job juggling to many customers and still getting everything out in pretty quick order. The drink menu is pretty standard, with a good selection of beers on tap, including a really good house hazy that I recommend. And of course, wine and cocktails available. And as for food, it is mostly lots of pub favorites, with some house specialties tailored to certain characters. We both wound up going with the Giant Norm Burger, which was excellent. Two beef patties, plenty of cheese, and lots of sauteed mushrooms. Definitely a winner! And price wise, I was pleasantly surprise, as it didn't seem any more expensive than other similar pub sorts of places we explored in Boston, so good on them for not falling into the tourist trap mindset. All told, Cheers was a surprise on this Boston trip. Surprising we went, and surprising how much we enjoyed it. If you want a taste of nostalgia AND a taste of good burgers, definitely consider swinging by if you are visiting.

    Step into a time and place where everyone knows your name If you're a fan of the show. Walk down these steps Comm ave was a nice walk to the Cheers bar and restaurant Was so much fun if you grew up with Sam and Diane we are in the pool room. A unique experience in Boston

    How fun!!! We got a beer and Bloody Mary in mugs - they were great! We split the Norm Burger, glad we did the size was HUGE!!! Patty cooked to perfection and although the seating was tight, we loved making new friends next to us! We got there at 11am on Sunday and got a table right away but they filled up fast within the hour. The stage bar was upstairs and looked cool! Great gift shop!

    Where everyone knows your name !

    Such a fun experience here in Boston. Downstairs is the original bar that inspired the show, ( Bull and Finch) and upstairs is a recreation of the set, with memorabilia. Try going midweek to avoid crowds. FUN merchandise to purchase in the store too. Grab a drink and some lunch. A must visit. Staff is very friendly as well. Make sure to go down the back staircase and take a pic!

    I grew up right outside Boston and had never been! It's a strangely big tiny place! Lots of tourists in town for FIFA which made the bar lively and fun to be in! The service was attentive, quick and super friendly. The food was bar food - nothing great. But I don't think you come for the food. Bathrooms are also bar bathrooms. Not that I would run back to eat there but it was a fun vibe and a great location!

    A very nostalgic themed restaurant/bar! Split into two sections, this place is a must-see! Visiting Boston, of course we needed to stop here. It looks a lot like the show. Tina was awesome and welcomed us to Boston, let alone Cheers! Tons of themed items on the menu but we weren't quite hungry enough for separate meals in the late morning from our travels, so we got an appetizer sampler. It was really delicious and my fun beer mug that I had with the Bull & Finch IPA in it really hit the spot as the "first drink in Boston". I wanted the mug but this being the first stop of our week long trip, I didn't want to splurge too much yet. Overall, it's a bit pricey but the theme/nostalgia and quality is well worth it!

    Unfortunately, nobody knew my name haha, but you did have the option to put on a name tag so people could address you accordingly. Haha I won't hold that against them though, it was my first time being there so that's not something I'll use against them haha! The drinks were surprisingly more affordable than I was anticipating and we were able to find seats, although it was honestly a miracle given all the tourists and patrons wandering around and waiting online by the bar. If you're a fan of the show, Boston drinking History and the culture, I would say definitely check this spot out, otherwise there's not much point waiting around for an overly packed bar for drinks you could get elsewhere for less hassle. The environment is nostalgia ridden and FULL of history and meme prices with plenty of stories to hear and tell. Servers are expert navigators and quick to attend to you. Drinks are worth the wait for the size and price, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    We stopped by Cheers Boston to grab a bite to eat for lunch while exploring the city. Although the interior looks nothing like the actual bar from the long-running television sitcom, there is still something undeniably fun about experiencing a place tied to such an iconic piece of television history. The real establishment is the historic Bull & Finch Pub, which served as the inspiration for the exterior shots used in Cheers. Inside, the walls are filled with memorabilia ranging from cast photos to Boston sports history, giving the entire place a nostalgic atmosphere that fans of the show will immediately appreciate. It feels less like stepping onto a television set and more like stepping into a small piece of Boston pop-culture history. The food and drinks were solid, but the experience itself is really the reason to visit. If you find yourself in the greater Boston area, it's absolutely worth stopping by -- if only to say you had a drink where "everybody knows your name." .

    I forgot this place was here. I saw it coming in from the airport to our hotel. I immediately thought we need to go there. Not too far from out hotel, we walked through the park, found it and went down stairs. I just had to see it. Woe. It was smaller than I thought it would be. We walked around to the back side. The whole place was packed. We finally got a seat and ordered some drinks. A few bar seats came open and we sat there. The tender was awesome and real helpful. We then ordered the calamari. Wow The best I've ever had. They do something special. The peppers are an awesome touch. The place was pretty special even though it wasn't the actual bar I remembered. The food was really good. The beer was cold. The people were real nice. It felt like I imagined it would. P.S. I just found out there is an upstairs with a replica bar. Now we need to go back. Really didn't need a reason but now I have one.

    Iconic place since 1895

    Wow, this place is iconic and fun!! The show cheers used a set for a bar that didn't look like the inside if the Real Deal. This cool iconic bar has really good food, great music, friendly service with an old world feel. Check it out, it won't disappoint.

    I walked down the stairs to go into the bar and there was a host waiting to seat people and I asked him " What's my F'n name?" He had no idea so that means this place is built on lies! Everyone doesn't know your name! Anyway, this place is a tourist trap but that's kind of the point. I walked in hoping to see the square bar like in the TV show but instead there is just a small bar and a bunch of tables, then down the hall, there is another smaller bar and more tables. There is also an area to buy all the standard gift shop souvenirs. We ordered a couple of beers from the bar while checking out all the memorabilia all over the walls. We didn't eat any food so no opinion on any of it. The place was cool for what it is. So, while they may not know your name, but you'll be glad you came if you are a fan of the tv show. Just keep the expectations low and enjoy.

    I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed the second I walked in the door. I walked in, said "Good afternoon everybody" and nobody said my name. Thought this place was where everybody knows your name?? Haha Seriously, we were on our way to the airport and unfortunately did not have time to try out the food. I was hoping to at least have a beer at the bar but again, was flying out of Logan International Airport. Looking around really brought back some memories of the show. Upstairs was a replica of the actual bar from the set along with a second gift shop. There is a small gift shop on the first floor. I look forward to visiting Boston again in the future and will definitely get a beer at the bar.

    A must see if you're in Boston to bring back memories of a great show. Definitely had to grab a drink while being a tourist. Food was good, service was friendly and prompt even though it was parked in there during World Cup. The bar was packed and very lively. They have a gift shop as well so you can get some fun novelty stuff for your collections.

    It has a cool dive bar atmosphere with frozen food. It's very crowded. The beer was nice and cold!

    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. By the time I left, "walking" was no longer an option. I exited the building in a full crawl, like I had just survived a natural disaster. Limbs questionable, dignity gone, spirit intact. 10/10. No notes. Would absolutely risk it all again.
