The Bull & Finch Pub is a bar / restaurant located on Beacon Street in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, across from the Boston Common. The Bull & Finch is best known as an inspiration for the bar in the 1980s-1990s NBC television sitcom Cheers, which 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.

The name changed to Cheers Beacon Hill. Since August 2001, there has been a branch location in Faneuil Hall.[1]. To capitalize on the popularity of the TV show, this location was built with a replica of the TV bar.

As of 2007, the Bull & Finch is owned by Tom Kershaw, who also owns The Hampshire House restaurant upstairs and the nearby restaurant 75 Chestnut.[2]
