The Hampshire House was purchased in the Fall of 1968 by owners Kershaw and Veasy. While the fictional “Cheers” has been around since 1895, the Bull & Finch has only been around since 1969. For those less observant, or for those less familiar with the show, a Cheers sign is mounted on the black, wrought iron railing and the brick wall behind it, both with that golden logo and hand pointing to the Bull & Finch entrance. Cheers fans will instantly recognize the white stone facade with its three white awnings. A yellow and black Cheers flag mounted on the hotel’s red brick exterior waves next to an American flag like a beacon for visitors and regulars alike. The Bull & Finch Pub is located on the garden level of the Hampshire House Hotel. Cheers has since been taken off the air, but the Bull & Finch Pub continues to attract 500,000 tourists a year, while maintaining its notable, friendly neighborhood atmosphere. For beer lovers and bar aficionados, the Bull & Finch stands up as a great pub, even without its television legacy by having all the wood, bartender witticisms, Boston memorabilia, and Cheers merchandise that one could hope for.
