We had to stop at Cheers while in Boston because how can you not?! If you grew up watching Cheers, it’s one of those bucket-list spots.
First of all, it’s just fun. Walking in and seeing the familiar sign and cozy pub atmosphere instantly makes you smile. It definitely leans into the nostalgia, and that’s part of the charm. It feels like stepping into a piece of TV history. The food was solid classic pub fare, nothing overly fancy, but exactly what you’d expect and want in that setting. Burgers, sandwiches, comfort food, cold drinks. Service was friendly and efficient, even with the steady stream of tourists.
Is it touristy? Of course. But that’s kind of the point. It’s one of those places you go for the experience and the story. If you’re in Boston and want a fun, lighthearted stop with a pop culture twist, it’s worth it. Sometimes you just want to go where everybody knows your name! Granted, only my husband knew mine.

I really liked my experience here. Atmosphere was very cozy and cute. It looks just like the show, 2 bar areas to sit which is where we sat. Pretty busy place, but you can wait around while looking at gift shop which helps time go fast. I would go around opening at 11 am for quicker times.
Food was good and beer was cold, along with a wonderful friendly staff. If you’re a cheers fan or want a fun dinner or lunch I’d come here.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cheers for the second time, coinciding with our 27th wedding anniversary. We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service, the quality of the cuisine, and the overall ambiance. Our return visit was indeed a worthwhile experience.

It’s cheers what can you say? If you are visiting Boston and are a Cheers show fan then this place is definitely for you. We did have to wait a little over an hour for a table in the original cheers bar. The experience was definitely worth the wait. We were able to visit the gift shop while waiting. They had a replica of the bar upstairs as well. It’s an option if you wanted to dine upstairs. Not sure what the weight would’ve been.
The service was rushed because they had to accommodate so many people. It wasn’t the greatest, but it was not the worst. Our server was running around trying to keep up. No sooner table got up within minutes other people were sat.
We ordered the fish and chips. It was OK. It was a decent portion for the amount of money they charged. Would I order it again probably not. I loved the root beer. It was delicious. It was smooth and very refreshing. I ended up going to the gift shop and buying two bottles to take back to ATL. They bubble wrap each bottle so they made it home safely. At the end of the meal you were given the opportunity to buy the chairs mug for $14. Of course I had to buy the mugs as well.
I would have taken more photos, but my phone died and had to be charged. So I don’t have any photos of the food.

Unfortunately not everybody knew my name but we still had a great visit… Staff was friendly as the place was packed.. beer glasses we’re very cool and the beer in them was even better. We shared an appetizer sampler which had all the basic bar foods. Decent but not great. Unfortunately the replica set was closed for a private event so we could not see it but the gift shop was cool. Worth a visit if you are old enough to remember the show.

This was truly once in a lifetime opportunity to do this, even though it wasn’t the original set on the TV show. The bar was excellent the staff, food and even the gift shop. This was pretty cool to see everything about cheers there. It was a little expensive, but it was well worth the money.

After watching the show for so many years, it’s not quite the same. But it was really nice to go in. We didn’t have anything to eat or drink. We just stopped in to say we’ve been there. It was nice to see the Indian and some of the area.Upstairs, before entering, across the street it was really wonderful too.

My husband and I were so excited to experience “the bar” from Cheers! I was a little nervous as we had planned to stop mid-afternoon to miss the lunch rush, but plans went more quickly. We landed there right at noon. Going in, it seemed like a huge wait, but don’t turn back! The place is huge! As a group of four, we got in right away. We didn’t sit in the front, but we had a comfortable spot in the back. Our server was fabulous. She never let our drinks go dry and the food was speedy. I would say everything was just average, but the food is really not why you are going to visit this place. There is a gift shop where you can buy lots of merchandise. Also there is SO MUCH TO LOOK AT! Lots of show and sports memorabilia. A great stop on our trip, and I would go back if we visit Boston again.

If you loved Cheers then this is the place to visit. Remember the outside is what was in the show. Food is good basic pup type food with a little bump in price because of where you are. Service is slow for food and every bar only had one tender despite it being ringed with people.
The gift shop upstairs has nice stuff but not cheap, a basic T Shirt is $38 – $40, a cap is $32, bottle opener $18 etc.
It was busy but I expected that.
