“Everybody knows your name,” but nobody knows how to tell the tourists that this overpriced restaurant-cum-souvenir-shop is a waste of their time and money. Memorabilia from T-shirts to official “Cheers” beer nuts is available in the shop upstairs; downstairs you'll find the well-lit, if charmless, bar area that inspired the TV show. Savor the cheesy atmosphere, because the food leaves a bit to be desired—unless you're searching for your average, greasy bar food at slightly inflated prices (burgers and sandwiches $9-13; Giant Norm Burger $15). Extensive beer (12 drafts, pints $5) and mixed drink selection. Entrees $7-18.
