The extremely popular TV show Cheers was
inspired by a neighborhood bar and restaurant in Boston, the former Bull &
Finch Pub. The facade of the building was used in the opening sequence
of the TV show. The Bull & Finch was eventually re-named Cheers
Boston Beacon Hill due to the great notoriety from the TV series. A second
location was opened in 2001, Cheers Boston Faneuil Hall, which is a replica
of the interior of the bar in the TV show.
Cheers Boston Beacon Hill is located on Beacon Street, just down the hill
from the State House. Across the street is the Public Garden, where
the Swan Boats operate in the lagoon during summer. On the Arlington
Street side of the Public Garden is Newbury Street, an upscale shopping area
that is very nice to stroll on cool summer evenings before dusk.
Cheers ran for 11 prime-time seasons beginning in 1982. Its popularity has made the Cheers restaurant/bars huge tourist attractions. Both locations have souvenir shops for those who might want to purchase
memorabilia. Cheers is a registered trademark of Paramount
Pictures.
