The Online Guitar Archive used to have it, but removed it due to copyright restrictions. The only way to get it that we know of now is to order the sheet music (see previous question). The last time we checked, it was still in print.

From a reliable source within Paramount:

"It was Bob Broder, the agent for Glen, Les and Jimmy. He REALLY wanted that bar to stay open!"

("Glen" is Glen Charles, "Les" is Les Charles, and "Jimmy" is James Burrows, the creators of Cheers.)

There are two answers to that question. The actual bar in Boston is called the "Bull and Finch Pub" and is located at 84 Beacon St.

On the show, the address is given as 112 1/2 Beacon St.

Not to our knowledge, but if you know of one, please let us know so we can put the info here.

Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII:

1 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
2 Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
3 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
4 And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
6 And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
7 And every fair from fair sometime declines,
8 By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
9 But thy eternal summer shall not fade
10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
11 Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
12 When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
13 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
14 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
