Iconic ‘Cheers’ Bar Still the Place Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Did you know an iconic Boston bar received only $1 to stand in for a popular television sitcom?. That was the case for Cheers (the bar, not the sitcom), according to The Takeout. Cheers began its life as the Bull & Finch, an English-style pub opened in 1969 by Thomas A. Kershaw. Its claim to fame came when television show creators Glen and Les Charles teamed up to create a show about a bar in Boston. After browsing the phone book, they contacted the Bull & Finch and asked if they could use it for establishing shots within the program. Kershaw agreed to have his bar featured, receiving only $1 in payment.
