- The ‘Cheers’ bar in Boston is closing for good.

The iconic Cheers bar is permanently closing. It is a replica of the bar on the show Cheers, which ran from 1982 to 1993. The bar was located at Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace. It had been in business for over two decades and is reportedly closing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As many bars have been shut down for months, many are struggling to stay open. Reportedly, the landlord was not offering assistance, which also led to the closure. It is set to close for good on August 30, 2020.
