Yes there were two bars used for the show. There is currently the "cheers" bar that has the sign out front and is an exact replica, then there is the actual bar they used.

Show us on the doll where the city of Boston touched you.

thanks for reminding me, to OP, skip the Combat Zone! (and don't go to Legal Seafood)

To OP - 777Tiger is completely wrong. Eat all of your meals at Legal Seafood.
Legal isn't the worst place you could go, but I could easily think of 50 places that are more worth your time.
I think this is in the email I sent you, but do NOT eat at Top of the Hub. Go for drinks to see the views, but for the $$$ the food is terrible.

Legal Seafood was good but food was a little overpriced for the product. Atmosphere was great. Found a little corner looking out on the water and just enjoyed the hell out of it.

but watch out cause their students will just jump right into the crosswalks with not a single glance at traffic. I guess it's some yankee rule to where they can walk wherever the hell they want.
Don't even think about driving in or near Boston. Just don't.
Walk as much as you can stand. Common, Public Garden, Beacon Hill, Downtown, Esplanade, Back Bay (try to take a long walk down the Comm Ave Mall, and just look around at everything).
Get whatever T pass makes sense and ride the T to the squayahs -- Harvard Square, Kenmore Square (Fenway, BU, Harvard Med).
You won't see or do everything everybody tells you in 4 days; it's a great city for just being there and looking at stuff and going with the flow.
There are a bazillion colleges in Boston -- lots and lots of students, grad students, academics in general out on the streets and local places that serve them. Maybe try to plug into what's going on in that world (but I can't recommend how).
Just walk around.
I'll tell you one thing that no one else will, and I use it on every 'what to do in Boston' thread --
If you get a chance, take a camera, and walk across the Harvard Bridge (Massachusetts Avenue, it connects Back Bay and MIT) in the afternoon, when the sun is past its high point but not too near twilight. Stay on the side of the road closer to downtown (right side as you go from Boston toward Cambridge). About half way or two-thirds of the way across, turn and look at downtown. Start taking pictures. That view ranges from really nice to abso-freaking-lutely spectacular, depending on the lighting and where the sailboats are on the river.
Have fun, and please check back in and let us know what you did and how you liked it. Everybody asks, but nobody ever reports back.
Oh yeah -- Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum might also be the suggested Art museum.

You're talking about Memorial Drive in Cambridge and I completely agree with you. if I knew how to share a picture from my phone on here I would give an example.
Here's one I found online but is fairly indicative of the view you will get:

Harpoon is actually in the city, so much easier to get to.
They spend less time explaining why their beer is good and actually let you drink it.
Less of a tourist attraction so less people, meaning more access to beer.
The beer in my opinion is just better.

I like beer.
Posted on 11/9/14 at 5:27 pm to AbitaFan08
I've developed a fondness for it myself

I will give credit to the city of Boston as well as the friends I have made here, since moving here my taste for beer has been greatly expanded.
Before moving I would drink pretty much nothing but bud light. Stella Artois was a classy step up for me. Not that I'm a beer snob by any means now, but the last time I had a bud light I was surprised at how bad I thought it tasted

walking the Freedom Trail
I went to Boston this past May for 5 days for leisure. I would recommend two things.
1. Duck Tour (they are touristy but are very informative and fun)
2. Freedom Trail BACKWARDS!!!
Nobody tells you their is very limited public transportation in Charlestown once you finish the Freedom Trail. It is not the greatest feeling to climb a 300 step monument on Bunker Hill and then have to walk back across the bridge to Boston proper.
Do the trail BACKWARDS, end in the city center

hear you, the only time I drink it or anything like it is when I get together with college buddies tailgating, or out on the ocean and that's all that's available
