After two decades in business, Cheers at Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace is closing for good at the end of the month. CEO Markus Ripperger confirmed the news to WBZ-TV Tuesday.

The Faneuil Hall bar and restaurant is a replica of the bar setting on the “Cheers” TV show. The Bull & Finch Pub on Beacon Street inspired the iconic series and is now known as Cheers Beacon Hill, which will remain open.

Ripperger said the coronavirus pandemic and problems with the Marketplace’s landlord were factors in the decision to close.

The Bull & Finch is kind of claustrophobic.

Cheerio!

Democrats killed another business.

It’s what they do.

Dropped down there now and then. Yeah, claustrophobic. Never put my finger on why I didn't care for the place.. Claustrophobic is a good description.

Spent my time at Father's Five (Father's Dive) or The 7s occasionally.

Kamala might make some drinks, but kamala in Finnish means terrible, awful.

Never put my finger on why I didn't care for the place.

Maybe because no one there knew your name. :-)

Faneuil Hall Marketplace is on the perpetual protesters tour circuit.

Brick walls and low ceilings.

Barmaid AOC strikes again!

I loved the tv show. Walked by many times while at Ft Devens, but never went in.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I thought the same stupid thing!

That damn Grasshopper.

I deduce that you are either a Patriots fan and/or a Red Sox fan. If I am correct, then you and I are, hence forth, sworn enemies.

Good day sir!

[coaster123]

Gave up baseball after the pine tar incident. Soon after I eschewed all pro sports.

Good night, nurse!

[fhayek]

Okay. A decent beantowner. My apologies... LOL

[Deplorable American1776]

Been to the Bull & Finch and I wasn't impressed. I thought John Kasick's dad would be there. 😋

There was a shrink at the bar who wanted to be in radio. 😋

[shawnlaw]

I just had to check so i did a Finnish to English translation ...lol that’s just too funny.

Of course the original Bull and Finch is on Beacon St down the street from the State House.The Faneuil Hall one had robots of Norm and Cliff, I think I read.

When the last ep of Cheers aired NBC did a special Tonight Show live from the original. Cast members were drinking there
for awhile and kinda lit up.

“Sorry..we’re closed.”—Sam, last line of the series to unseen customer.

As I recall, the actors were quite plastered.
