Cheers Beacon Hill, formerly the Bull & Finch Pub, is a bar and restaurant located on Beacon Street in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, across from the Boston Public Garden. Founded in 1969 as the Bull & Finch Pub, the bar is known internationally as the exterior of the bar seen in the NBC television sitcom Cheers which ran from 1982 to 1993. The show used the Bull & Finch exterior for the series’ establishing shots of the namesake bar Cheers. No interior shots were used, and the interior does not resemble that of the Cheers bar. In 2002, the Bull & Finch Pub was officially renamed "Cheers Beacon Hill". On March 10, 2009, the Boston Globe reported that longtime Cheers bartender Eddie Doyle, with a 35-year tenure that predated the sitcom Cheers, had been laid off. Owner Tom Kershaw cited the recession as the reason for the decision. The block on which Cheers resides has been renamed Eddie Doyle square in his honor.

The Native American warrior statue in "Cheers" was a statue of Tecumseh. It was featured prominently in episode 189 of season 8 in 1990, Bar Wars III: The Return of Tecumseh. In it, Rebecca would like nothing better than to end the long-standing feud between the Cheers gang and their arch-rivals at Gary's Olde Towne Tap. But this proves impossible when it seems that someone at Gary's has stolen Cheers' beloved statue. The war escalates throughout the episode, with a surprising twist at the finale.
