Tourists still flock to this Beacon Street bar, which was the inspiration for the Cheers television series, which ran for 11 years and won a number of awards. Avid fans should be forewarned, however: the exterior is very familiar, but the inside is nothing like the TV version. Drinks and food are served here, but its icon status is what draws people in here. It is considered by many to be one of the top tourist attractions in Boston. A second site, named Cheers, recently opened at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
