Opening hours

For fans of the iconic 1980s sitcom Cheers, visiting the pub that inspired the show is like stepping into TV history. Cheers on Beacon Hill (formerly the Bull & Finch Pub) captures the nostalgia and charm of the original series while offering a welcoming and authentic Boston bar experience. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the feeling that this truly is “where everybody knows your name.” While the entrance might be unassuming, don’t let that fool you—the warmth and character are undeniable. The real treat is upstairs, where the original television set has been meticulously preserved. It's a dream for any fan to see the replica bar and picture Sam, Diane, Norm, and the gang in their element. The food? Classic, satisfying bar fare that complements the cozy, convivial atmosphere. Whether you’re indulging in a burger or sipping a pint, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. Cheers on Beacon Hill retains the charm that earned it the title of Boston Magazine’s “Best Neighborhood Bar” in 1982. While the neighborhood has grown to include fans from around the world, the pub’s heart and soul remain firmly intact. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the history, or just a great time, Cheers is a must-visit spot in Boston. So grab a stool, raise a glass, and toast to the pub that inspired a cultural phenomenon. Cheers!

This place was lovely! We came on St Patrick’s Day. The only place in Boston with an open seat and good bar service, treated us well for decently priced drinks. I expected touristy, but they did us right. Excellent cream pie.

Big fan of the TV show growing up! I just had to stop in when visiting Boston. What a neat experience! Food and service were great. You can pay the extra fee and take a souvenir glass home with you too. Before you leave, don't forget to go upstairs to see the real bar used in the recording of the show. 10/10 Recommend.

You don’t know what to expect when you come to a place like this because you love the sitcom and know it wasn’t filmed here but the exterior was used! Definitely a niche location and situation. It did not disappoint at all! It was so iconic coming up to the door and walking down the stairs! I didn’t care who thought what, I came in and called out to Norm and Cliff! ?it was packed and they still got us seated! Was so neat to be here and enjoy the experience! We got sat and had great service and the food was incredible, you’d expect something substandard however it exceeded expectations! You can buy your beer mug to take home and they wrap it nicely and they offer many drink choices! Was a very good meal and experience all around. The decorations are cool too! After you eat toy can go upstairs and see the replica bar and go to the gift shop! The gift shop has a lot of neat stuff some is a little over priced especially shirts for low quality materials or I would have bought more before leaving but doesn’t change my rating. Was so satisfying to be here and experience this! Great setting and location too!

We didn't even plan on stopping in. We walked across the park and across the street, I saw Cheer's! OMG!!! 10/10 ! We were cold and ready for luck and what a welcome this gem is! How very nostalgic and so cool. The food, service and atmosphere was everything you could want. Awesome gift shop up stairs! We loved it. It was so cool!
