Boston Tourist Trap Tips by FoxWMulder

Okay. There are two "Cheers" meccas for those so inclined. One is the obvious Bull and Finch pub, on Beacon St. This was the bar that inspired the show. The exterior is what was sometimes seen between commercials. I'm told the inside, looks nothing like the Cheers we know and love. The other Cheers place is the Cheers restuarant, in Fanneuil market. It is a restuarant designed to look like the Hollywood set. Well, the bar looks close, and the walls are decorated with sports memorobilia, other than that, it looks nothing like the actual set. The wait was not long, and the food was not bad. Good if you can get in easily enough, otherwise not worth the wait, unless you absolutely want to tell people that you ate at Cheers.

At Least Do This: The "trap" here is thinking that you will walk into the bull and finch and see Cheers, or walk into the restaurant, and think you are on the real set. Neither is true, though it is fun to eat at either place, being in Boston and all. Like I said, skip it if the wait is too long.
Alternative: The Cheers restaurant was not bad as a restaurant, just bad as a Cheers replica. If Cheers does not appeal, there are plenty of restaurants in the Fanneuil Market area.
