For those of you familiar with the 1980s (and early 90s) U.S. television show, this is the pub on which it is based. Someone who follows Milford Street suggested I visit here. I think they wanted me to go inside, but I don’t get to visit many bars these days.
I visited many years ago and bought the t-shirt to prove it. 🙂
Ha ha ha. I’ve never been inside. Does it look like the show?
Not that I remember, but it was fun to visit.
I’ve seen that tv show 🙂 so you didn’t go inside?
I did not. It was early on a Sunday, so I doubt they were open. Plus, shooting by myself, going into a bar just really isn’t my thing.
We stopped there once on a Boston Movie Tour for an outing with company where I once worked. Once you go down the familiar steps, it’s just a tourist trap bar with so-so food. They changed the name to “Cheers” not that long ago, as it was part of the Hampshire House hotel.
I highly recommend the movie tour, though.That was a lot of fun.
I’ll have to check it out (the movie tour, not the bar). So many movies have been filmed in Boston
The tour is great fun. As you pull up to a site where a movie or TV show was filmed, video screens in front of each passenger drop down to show a scene. The guides keep things lively with trivia games. I keep saying I’m going to take it again…
NORM!!! 😉
NORM!!!! 😃
Or should it be STREET!!! 😉
I just did the same thing in my head!
I think a lot of people did. Cheers 😊
Where everybody knows your name … I loved that show!
It was a great show. Fun times, indeed. Cheers! 😃
Life in general was better than now in the 80s and nineties..the people ..the t.v …the cinema movies …everything was better than now I think.
Nice shot !
Cheers Chris!!
The television shows definitely seemed better. Thank you, Soheir…Cheers!
Grest shot!
Cheers! From 1982 to 1993: yes, it was a wonderful funny TV sitcom. Ted Danson aka Sam Malone, and of course Norm, and his beer: a myth 😀
Ciao

Thank you, Sid. I used to really enjoy watching that show. Cheers!
Cheers!
We were also there many years ago. Also one in London. Neither the same as the show.
Interesting. They used to have a bar called Cheers on the waterfront that was made to look like the set. It was while the show was still running.
It brings back memories… 90s…seems like light years away now!
I totally understand what you mean. I was in a different house, in a different job…so many changes. Cheers!
Awesome! The actual name is called the Bull & Finch Pub. In 2002, the Bull & Finch Pub was officially renamed “Cheers Beacon Hill”. The show “Cheers” is based on this pub after the producers and directors went to many other pubs for a visit: Where everybody knows your name, you are feel to talk about religion to politics, etc… They kept coming back to the Bull & Finch Pub because they felt “at home” there. Hence, this is were the concept of the show was formed.
Yes, I’ve spent a lot of time (and money) in this place! My usual was to start off with a MUG of Clam Chow’dah, then a Norm Burger, fries, and Sam Adams beer. By the time I was finished with the job there in Boston, I could literally walk in, and someone would inevitably yell, “Mick!”
God, I miss that place! Thank you for creating a wonderful memory again!
Thank you for the comment and the history. Perhaps one day I can enjoy a visit inside. Cheers!
Sadly I don´t know the show but I love your shot of the pub it´s based on! 🙂 And I can understand why you didn´t go inside – this time of day there´s only one liquid worth being drunk(?) – and that´s coffee! 😀 Cheers (hehe)!
Thank you, Sarah….I’m more into my Starbucks at that time of day, I must say.
For me it´s Starbucks time all day long 😉
Same here 😊
If there is anyone who does NOT remember Cheers! – I want to know what cave they came out of!! I catch the reruns now and again and still laugh!!
It is still such a classic. CHEERS!

I never watched Cheers but thank you for showing the real bar.
You’re most welcome. Cheers!
I enjoyed Cheers! Pity you did not visit!!
Thank you….Perhaps sometime I am with friends, i can stop in. Cheers!
A classic never to be forgotten! This is probably as close as I will get! Great shot!
Definitely. It’s a classic. Cheers.
I always wondered if you would post a picture of this place!
THANK YOU!
