Leigh-Anne V Posted July 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Has anyone been to Cheers? (I'm sure there is, silly question lol). We sail from Boston on Tuesday, but are driving in on Monday so we have a bit of time there. The one thing I'd like to do is Cheers. I see there is a second location. Trying to decide what to do when you only have 1/2 a day is hard! Leigh-Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidaNaPraia Posted July 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yes, there are two locations of Cheers---sort of. One has the exterior used on the TV show, but looks nothing like the show's set inside. http://www.cheersboston.com/main_locations_beaconhill.html The other is a reproduction interior of the show's set. http://www.cheersboston.com/main_locations_faneuilhall.html Neither IMO is worth wasting time for in a Boston with so much else interesting to see, but ymmv, and you may be in the vicinity of one or the other while on the Freedom Trail or seeing other sights.

Rare 1025cruise Posted July 3, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Unless you want to say you did it, with limited time, I wouldn't. With that being said, with limited time, go to Faneuil Hall. That way you can do some touristy stuff, and still get a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGoldberg Posted July 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Most of the tour companies swing by there between the Back Bay and Beacon Hill sections of their tours so you can see the front of the building and the steps going down, and know you were "there." No need to go in because, as has been said, it won't look like the show's bar did. If you want to see the city in a short period of time, take a bus tour or duck boat tour. If you're the museum type, we've got those, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkneern Posted July 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Skip it or just do a drive by. Not worth the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsnd1900 Posted July 7, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Makes for a good photo op from the outside - near the sign,etc. Inside has the gift shop where you can buy tee shirts, mugs, etc. Like others said - that is about it. Bragging rights,and a good photo. Depending upon interests, there are many things to do in Boston for a 1/2 day. History buffs can take in Old Ironsides, a few of the National Parks, or Fanial Hall. Go to the top of the Prudential for some great views; head to Fenway for a tour of the park, and a beer at Boston Beer Works. Or a tour of Sam Adams. Newbury Street has some eclectic things, or the North End has some wonderful restaurants. Aquriums, museums,and shows are also available. If you do go to Cheers, go across the street and venture through the park too.. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhall85917 Posted July 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2013 We went there for lunch 3 or 4 years ago and enjoyed it and still use our Cheers beer mugs from there. In fact, we need to go back since we chipped one of the mugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
