The Greatest Bar and Cheers

I have a couple more posts to finish up from Spring Break and I'm really excited about this one. We spent Friday watching basketball at The Greatest Bar and then we headed to Cheers...yes, the place the show is based on. I loved every minute of it.

Here is our view from The Greatest Bar. They have multiple floors, and last Friday the first and second were open. We opted for the second so that the five of us could sit together.

I decided not to eat at The Greatest Bar because I had eaten breakfast not too long before, but some of our friends ordered the nachos and we were so blown away I had to share...

I also wanted to share the tri-color tortilla chips because I am in love with colored tortilla chips. No real explanation.

We split three pitchers among three of us. That means three beers. The first was Blue Moon, the second Miller Lite, and the third Harpoon IPA. I decided to take a picture of the Miller Lite because I don't think it's made it into my alcohol samplings tab yet...speaking of which, has anyone seen the ridiculously over hyped Miller Lite commercials lately? I love Miller Lite. In the Miller Lite, Bud Lite, Natty Lite, Keystone Lite, etc arena...Miller Lite is right up there as far as I'm concerned. But really, come on...it's Miller Lite...

After our team lost, we headed to Cheers!

We got stamped as we entered. Just affirming my suspicion that we were in fact legal drinkers.


We were seated downstairs. This was my view.

And this is a picture of the little bar that was directly behind me.

Menu from which we ordered....

Just a little snap shot of our table...

And here is my awesome veggie burger! It was a bit crumbly, but so amazing. You could see pieces of rice in it which I was a fan of.

I rounded out my meal with a Sam Adams Boston Brick Red. It was to die for. I'm quite a supporter of Sam Adams at this point.

Enjoy!

That veggie burger looks great! I love when you can see the flecks of wild rice or whatever in the burger :) Looks like a fun Spring Break..I didn't know Cheers is a real bar!

It looks like you are having a great time! I went to the Cheers bar once on a family vacation a long time ago - long before I was legal. :) I hope to make it back there someday.

wow that burger looks freaking amazing.
I think you'd love wordpress. the layout and pics come out so much cleaner, and you'd LOVE the pages tabs! I'm still trying to get the hang of it, but I'll let you know my comparisons after a few days of experimenting with it!

Your mother is so jealous. She spent a lot of time watching 'Cheers'.

This brings back such memories to me. When I was a summer intern at the Boston Globe, I lived only a few blocks away from the Cheers bar. The show was probably still at the height of its popularity. So, you know I had to visit at least once while I was there. I remember I even took a few of the Cheers coasters as souvenirs. I can't say that everyone -- or even anyone -- knew my name there. But it was definitely a fun place to visit.
