We had dinner there and to be honest the food was nothing special. I am still giving it 4 stars because it's a bar and not strictly a restaurant. If it was just about the food, it would get a 3. We ordered the sausage roll, fries, chicken mushroom pie and the fish and chips. As I said, food wasn't bad but it wasn't anything to write home about except for the chicken mushroom pie . That said, if I was to eat there again, the chicken mushroom pie was pretty delicious.

Although the game didn't end well, we had fun here. Lots of tvs throughout and a chill vibe overall. We ordered at the bar and the guy brought it over to us. I got a Sam Seasonal Oktoberfest and my boyfriend got a sun cruiser. I then ordered the steak and cheese with fries. It was really tasty but a little small. My boyfriend got the Honey Dripper crispy chicken sandwich. He was recommended this by the bartender--he loved it! Good recommendation!! Overall it was fun to be surrounded by sox fans to watch the game, and enjoy good food and drink. I loved all the neon signs and decor! I wish tvs were a little larger in size but it worked. I would come back!

Let me start by saying, the staff were friendly and positive, this review is aside from that…read more After stopping in one evening to watch the red sox game a few weeks ago, we simply wanted a few drinks and a snack. Throughout our 2-3 hours there, we ordered truffle fries and 2 pitchers of mich ultra, one of the lightest and cheapest beers sold at any bar. Much to our surprise, our total for those 3 simple items were in excess of $90+ (which for reference, the fries were $12). This means, EACH pitcher of mich ultra was anywhere from $38-$40. Needless to say, this pricing is egregious, and we were completely shocked to see it on the bill. This was after we were kindly offered to be checked out from the table, so the bartender took my card back to the back to run it before bringing it back and presenting us with this surprise. Now, I am not one to leave reviews in general, and usually if I leave any, they are positive - due to fantastic or above-average food/dining/service/hospitality etc. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. I will say, for what we had food-wise, the fries were delicious - although, this incredibly high differential in cost we were charged, for one of the notoriously cheaper beers in any bar, left me no choice but to bring it to light. I'm aware this is Boston, and I know F&B is at a higher cost today than in times prior in most bars and restaurants. But - with comparisons for the same pitcher of beer around the area ranging between $22-$26 per pitcher, the obvious is left to be seen.

The portion sizes were good and the Fish and Chips tasted really fresh. The restaurant definitely feels like an Irish Pub, from all the wall decor to the dark interior. The staff was okay. They were not overly friendly and we had to keep asking for refills to our water. Maybe we just caught them on a off day. They also did not have the wine I asked for from the menu. Overall our experience was not overly bad, but didn't blow me away either. I don't think this is a bad option if you are specifically looking for an irish pub to eat at as the menu had a lot of great options, but this also isn't the type of place I would go out of my way to eat at again.

It wasn't particularly busy on a Sunday at 1pm, which was fine with us, and the other patrons were all middle aged (like us) or older; the youngest person was the bartender. The music wasn't blasting, there were hooks under the counter to hang your purse (which was much appreciated), and the gender neutral washroom was clean. The bar catered to beer drinkers, of course, and the only wine they offered was Pinot Grigio for $9 a glass, but it was nice and refreshing on such a hot day, and at least it wasn't something disgusting like Moscato.

It really is very tiny, so just be aware that seating is sometimes limited. They didn't have too much on draft, thought some of that was due to the Scottish being in town for the World Cup the week before. We went with lemon drop shots, and the bartender was very transparent about the fact that he was out of most of his supplies due to the Scottish. No fault at all to them for that because that was the situation at every bar we went to. Service was friendly, the shot was nice and strong, and it was a nice little spot. Beyond drinking, there isn't really much going on in the bar in terms of activities, but there were TVs. So, watching sports here is definitely an option. I'd definitely say that this spot is worth popping in if you are enjoying a night on the town, but that it probably shouldn't be the only spot you go to.

But was renamed to Cheers in 2002 after the exterior was used in the TV show. We rode the Old Town Trolley and this was one of the stops. We got off the bus at roughly 10:45 AM, and there was a line to the street corner of folks waiting to get in as it didn't open until 11:00. We got in shortly after the doors opened and found a seat at the bar downstairs. I had a 20 oz blueberry hefeweizen. It was refreshing and yummy! Lisa took great care of us. She was the only bartender and did an excellent job serving the crowd! The upstairs bar is a smaller replica of the bar on the show. There were lots of photo opportunities upstairs as they had a huge wall mural with all the Cheers characters as well as other lifesize cutouts outside the gift shop. If you grew up watching Cheers like me I highly recommend you stop by for a cold one and say hi to Norm for me;)

Being that I am a Bostonian, Cheers was always on my bucket list but never need the top of it. But…read moreafter a long walk around Boston, we ended up on the steps of the Cheers, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and said why not. It was a chilly evening right at the beginning of fall so we wanted something cozy to warm up in. I actually didn't realize the replica bar upstairs wouldn't be open, although I think sometimes it is because I've seen pictures where there's people sitting in it, but I think mostly they use it for show. We saw people coming from downstairs so we decided to check it out. When we got inside the place was packed. The bar had no seats whatsoever so we stood by the countertop right behind the bar. We got a downeast hard cider on draft, which was really good. Luckily seats opened up at the counter. The bartender let us know that we could purchase the mugs if we wanted to bring them home. I decided not to as we were walking and taking the train home, but I might come back to get one so I can have the memorabilia. The downstairs bar is very cozy. It's sort of centers the room and around it our tables where you could eat at. I overhead the staff say the tables are just for food and drink -- I think because it's so busy. When you continue on past the bar, you get to a mini gift shop right before the bathrooms, they also had name tags where you could write your name on, which was cool. My boyfriend surprised me with a magnet because he knows I collect them, which was cute. Next to the bathrooms are stairs to go visit the replica bar from the show. This is also where they have the main gift shop with plenty of things you could take home, including shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, magnets, and other cool stuff too. Honestly working in the hospitality industry I will recommend this bar to tourists and to locals. Even though it is very touristy, there is quality behind it so it works well. I will be back to try a cuppa chowder!
