The “Cheers” bar at Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace closes after two decades in business, CEO Markus Ripperger confirmed Tuesday to CBS Boston. The iconic bar is a replica of the set for the popular sitcom “Cheers”, which aired from 1982 to 1993.
The beam appears to have been another victim of the coronavirus pandemic. Ripperger said the pandemic and the lack of assistance from the landlord played into the decision to close, according to CBS Boston.
The bar “Cheers” is set to close on August 30, reports CBS affiliate WGME. However, the location that originally inspired the iconic series will remain open on Beacon Street in Boston.
While the TV show has been on the air for decades, the bar where everyone knows your name has remained a landmark.
The show bore such stars as Ted Danson, Kirstie Alley and Shelley Long. In total, the cast and show received 117 Emmy nominations and won 28 Emmys.
