Tip! The original Cheers! bar is on Beacon street, by the Public Garden. Only the outside was used for the show. There's a newer Cheers! bar in Faneuil Hall as well (observe.. NEW) Visit Doyle's Cafe (established in 1882!) in Jamaica Plain. It is often used as a location for movie scenes. A movie filmed here is Mystic River, and the TV show Boston Public also shot scenes here. |
