Cheers Beacon Hill, American restaurant and pub in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.
Cheers Beacon Hill is an American restaurant and pub set in a brick building in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, directly across from Boston Public Garden. The venue spans several rooms across multiple floors and serves classic American food and drinks.
The building opened in 1969 as the Bull and Finch Pub and kept that name for decades. It was renamed Cheers in 2002, following the global reach of the television series that had used its exterior as a visual reference.
The interior is filled with props, photos, and references to the television series that made this place famous worldwide, giving it the feel of a living set. Many visitors come not just to eat or drink, but to stand where scenes were filmed and take photos of the facade.
The pub sits directly across from Boston Public Garden and is easy to spot on foot from the nearby downtown streets. Visitors should expect it to be busy during weekends and tourist season, so arriving early in the day is a good idea.
The stretch of sidewalk in front of the building was officially named Eddie Doyle Square after a bartender who worked there for 35 years, long before the place became a tourist destination. This small street sign tells a story that has nothing to do with television.
