1. Cheers - Cheers
Was there any question? Come where everybody knows your name. Cheers isnt always the most hopping bar in Boston (that would likely be their rival, Gary's Olde Towne Tavern, located just down the street). But what it lacks in customer traffic, it makes up for in charm. Cheers is owned by a former Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, Sam Mayday Malone, who spends his nights tending bar despite being a recovering alcoholic. Sam and his loyal patrons arent just friendly, theyre interesting, too. Everyone there knows Norm, and many know hes married, though few can claim to have ever seen his wife. If youve got a question about a useless fact, bar know-it-all Cliff Calvin will likely have the answer for you. And if work or your home-life has you down, you can always bend the ear of Woody the bartender; though he may not share much in terms of wisdom. For that, youll need to talk with psychologist, Frasier Crane (or his wife Lilith; also a psychologist). If its love youre looking for, be wary of the employees at Cheers, as each comes with their own sets of personal baggage. For the gentlemen: Diane might be a little too uptight, Rebecca might be a little too crazy, and Carlawell, shes crazy AND has a crazy family. Plus, I hear shes been seeing a hockey player or something. For the ladies: the most handsome man in the bar is probably Sam. Although he may be off the drink, he findserother ways to quench his thirst. Consider yourself warned. Outside of its familiar faces, though, Cheers has lots of room and good times to be had by all. With a local celebrity pouring the beer, too, you never know who will wander in, as many other sports figures of Boston fame have been known to pop in from time to time. And there you have it, the top 5 bars in TV history. Now that you know where go, head out and have a good time! The next ones on me.
