I went here with my friend on 7-19-13 Friday 10:00pm'sh. Â Obviously I go to this bar for karaoke, because I knew Jose the kj was throwing his gig here. It's actually a fair size bar with a dance floor (Jose played some dance music in between the singing), with a stage, and there is a pool table in the back. Â I think the owner has this dog that walks around the bar. Â On this evening, there were $4 drink specials (I had the melon ball which consist of midori, vodka, and orange juice and it was good). Â If a bar can have both karaoke and dancing, that's an ideal outing.
Review Source:Yay! i'm a fan! I can't say anything bad about a bar that i can walk to and the drinks are strong! Oh and another Bonus here is it's in a shopping center where there's a Denny's in case you get a hankerin' for some bacon cheese fries and a milkshake! Oh so convenient!! Love ya Cheer's you've been a peach!
Review Source:What a great, friendly, nice bar. Great owner. The Fingerpuppets play here!  I see Baby S. doesn't like women who are not confined by extra lingerie and think they own things...but that kind of freedom would describe Cheers. We let it all hang out, and that means with French horn, trumpet, throwing puppets, free pizza, you never know what to expect when you come to South Pacifica. Maybe you'll even learn some Mandarin. Clay is the greatest, and so is his extended family, many of whom come here and one dates a band member who plays here in Funktional Soul. It's a nice family feeling, even though I'm not related to anyone of them except the Fingerpuppet's rhythm guitar player (my husband, Señor Vepee). You want the anti-thesis of Bay Area snot yet with a irreverent sensibility seen in originals like "The Hazards of Necrophilia," "Carwash Killer," "Three-Way Jam," and "Josephine the Plumber"? Come to Cheers Dec. 1 at 4-6 p.m. Special holiday show with Fiona Ma. (You should know who she is: a woman who has succeeded in politics for the last 10 years!) You never know what you're going to get hit with at a Fingerpuppets show!
Review Source:Complete dive bar, it has everything. Pool table, jukebox,ping pong, and a condom machine in the bathroom. Everything in there has to be at least forty years old. The one thing that made me give it five stars is the strongest captain and coke I have ever  had at a bar.Had to have three to four ounces of booze in my six dollar drink. After two of those it was cab time. People working there are very friendly as well.
Review Source:dang hipsters with their brand-new flannel shirts pretending to be authentic working-class trash like us. You'll never be us!  That  chick who never wears a bra and lets it all hang out (as in  gravity , as in national geographic , as in cheesy-ass polyester lounge-wear from a late-night episode of Streets of SF) Honey you do not own the pool table even if that is 'your' chair at the end of the bar so don't start with the 'you didn'tput your name on the board first for pool, we were here first' and then leave to go out and smoke, come back and try to run things.  That ain't how we rol, ya'll . I don't care who or what you're doing.  And why does everyone have to rag on the bar wenches, jeeze, can't you just be gracious and let them do their job FFS?
Ima sic that old johnny cash cowboy dude on anyone who talks smack. Oh and has anyone seen the Elvis dude down here? Â Ya'll can talk smack about this town but you're just hella jealous.
Pacifica, has very limited options being a Suburb and all. This mini mall bar is as good as it gets. In fact it is a total dream. Been there for 50 years, with the wood paneling to prove it. Clay, the bartender, is great and pours a stiff drink.
Everyone was friendly. There was an adorable puppy. Â Mostly the bar was empty. Which we liked. You see, my husband and I were delighted at the lack of a crowd because we could hog the pool & ping pong games to our hearts content.
We will be back many times. It is just that kind of place.
I like this place on Friday nights. The karaoke is fantastic. It is the best karaoke bar in Pacifica. The K-Jay Jose does an outstanding job of singing and hosting. Best of all he is fair, He doesn't have his pals sing over and over while everybody else is waiting to sing. I rally like that. There is plenty of room and the crowd is unpretentious. The bar is old fashioned, no hotties pouring drinks, no flash bang effects, just some old guys workin the bar. The drinks are good price okay, parking fine and bathrooms are clean. I look forward to going again.
Margarita $7.00 Corona +shot of Patron $12.00,Pabst tall can $4.00
oh Cheers.... Where to start? Â Well first of all I only go here on Friday nights for KJ Jose's Karaoke. Â Other than that I most likely would be hanging out somewhere a little more modern and trendy... This place is frozen in the early 80's along with the patrons. although it does have its moments with random ghetto kids who hang out here as well (so odd). Â Ill give them this tho: the drinks are strong and cheep. Â AND there is a full book shelf if you get bored and want to read something... lmao.
Review Source:Cheers is the perfect dive bar, dive bar, dive bar. Â I've stopped in a couple of times now - karaoke was hilarious (in a good way), as was the band we saw "Finger Puppets" Â the only band I've ever seen cover the B52's.... and I've seen the same people in there every time I've gone, they obviously have a very loyal, friendly, local patronage. Â
I've never seen anyone smoke in the bar, so don't let that turn you off (on?).
Super Bartenders.
Way casual.
Dog Friendly.
Pacifica prices.
Randomly drove up to Pacifica with Badri N. on a boring Sunday afternoon. Â Badri N. recalled there being a bar in a strip mall, so we went over and checked it out. Â For me, it's kind of strange for a bar to be in the same plaza as a Safeway, Ross, and other stores, but well, this is Pacifica, so I guess things are just different.
We went in just for a drink, and the bartender was really apologetic since it was his 4th day as a bartender ever, and was having difficulty finding things in the bar, understanding the drinks that we were ordering, and then finding the ingredients to make the drinks. Â (for the record: Â Badri N. ordered a Ketel One-Tonic, and I ordered a Glenlivet on the rocks)
But I give kudos to the bartender for being honest about being a new bartender, and for his overall friendliness. Â He had quite a few people in there for a Sunday afternoon, and I am sure that it was pretty crazy for him. Â
I also don't think he knew how to pour the drinks because I think I ended up with more than a double, but of course, I was happy about that... :)
Cheers as a name of a bar? How original.
This Cheers has the super laid back, chill, and friendly patrons you would expect out of a strip mall dive bar in a small, foggy, surfer town.
The vibe kinda reminds me of the bars in Hawaii except with some "Hotel California" playing instead on the jukebox.
Their pool table accepts dollars and this is the first bar I've been to that has a ping pong table. I tried to get a game but no one wanted to play the Asian guy. Maybe this is why. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsYTbpCTphdc&s=5c72d690fa286d59f813c6a9a9743d08636ed7a57690504d65f5ebaed81c5ce9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>
Perfect place for a light nite rendezvous with a guy who will soon be telling you.....Yo kid you know youre mine now right? If that bein said in the smoky dim light of a strip mall bar isnt the most perfect evening Ive ever had I dont know what is.....Drinks kept coming and going cigarettes were lit then crushed...kisses were exchanged and then I realized If i cant fall inlove in this place do I ever actually stand a chance at all.....
Review Source:One of the best dive bars in Pacifica can be found in the local Linda Mar strip mall. Â Three cheesy cheers for Cheers of Pacifica! Â Yes, what you've read is true. Â They have a ping pong table here and plenty of space for mad drunken flailing. Â Some quiet nights they pull open the billiard ball holding pen and you can play free of charge. Cocktails are cheap and poured heavily, in true dive mode. Â The patrons and bartenders are friendly-- chances are you will become engaged in a conversation with a local and it's highly likely that you will not have initiated it. Â And though nobody will remember your name, they will certainly remember your face. Â
Anecdotally, I was there with some friends over the holidays and we happened to be comparing the mismatched glassware in which we were served our rummy libations. Â Some showed the signature Cheers logo, but MOST special of specials, there was one with a regular's name crafted on it with those gelly t-shirt design glues. Â I could just imagine this character approaching us to retrieve her personal mug.
Wrapping up: They have a brand new Maxx machine (and a practically antique one in the corner). Â Local Pacifican bands frequent their stage and when they do, it's usually really packed, really loud, and good luck with getting drinks in a timely manner. Â Additional perks- Denny's is within stumbling distance for late night eats. Â Finally, agree with Christine C, there is a wacko barmaid in there. Â She poured all our drinks out when we (uncharacteristically) left our drinks unattended albeit with a napkin on top. Â We tried to re-enter, but the doors were locked and she peeped out to say she'd closed up... way before midnight. Â We hung around for a few minutes outside before she and what looked like big boss man came out and said they weren't closed after all. Â I wonder what she was on. Â Whatever, still a fun place.
I've been here a couple times. Super random dive bar, I mean they have ping pong. How cool is that? My friends and I are known for roaming through dive bars, but i do like this one. They have a shelf full of books, pool table, ping pong, darts and those bar video games that everyone loves. Last night they had a live band, i don't recall the name of it because i was drinking, but good sound.
Review Source:OK, this place I have been to a number of times.. usually when a band is there that friends wanted to go see. It is a local dive bar.. condom & perfume machines in the bathroom. Spoke with the owner one night when I had my dog in the car and went outside to let the dog out.. nice guy.
I only  give it 2stars for the WACKO barmaid that was there the last time I went in there with my husband. At the time, I was living in Pacifica and he in KS. He is VERY personable and was talking up the lady bartender and fellow patrons. The bartenderess was having game of it talking back at my husband. She was laughing, posing for pictures. Saw a number of people I knew in there.. great time! The bartenderess was plying me with shots of tequila.. on her tab!! Whoo hoo! For doing this.. I love my tequila... I was going to tip her BIG TIME! We were having a blast!
All of a sudden she went WACKO! She walked down in front of my husband and said.. I am getting tired of YOU! I looked at her and said.. are you serious? She said VERY! I looked at my husband.. asked what did you do? He said with wide eyes.. nothing! In fact I know he did nothing cause I was next to him all evening.. it was just the same banter that she was having fun with from the moment we walked in.
She pointed at me and said YOU I like, he needs to go! I was like WHAT????!!! Â Are you joking I asked? NO!
I asked her how much I owed her and she said well, what you ordered was $xxxx but I poured you $XX out if my own tab. I paid what we ordered and grabbed my stuff, grabbed my husband and said.. outta here! As I walked out I could hear her saying,.. but Chris...I poured you a bunch out of my own tab!!! Too F'ing bad for you! DO NOT treat your customers that way!! How extremely out of line and rude! Not to mention WIERD & WACKO!!! What a freak! She absolutely flipped out! Maybe a little less stimulants next time? She certainly was a buzzin!
I saw a friend of mine a day later who is a long time bartender at various local bars. I mentioned the situation at Cheers and the woman involved, what happened.. I was still shook up about it all.. he said oh her, she is a whack job!
The tenders at Cheers work for tips only.... maybe they ought to interview them a bit better.. I certainly never set foot back in there and never will again in the future.... even if my friends band is playing there! I will absolutely NOT be treated that way.. how f'ing bizarre!!!!
from afar, we could hear the faint pinging and ponging of little plastic balls on a table. we followed it and found ourselves at cheers in pacifica. one of the few bars with a ping pong table that i know of (or actually the only one).
a great way to spend an evening with some heavily poured drinks at pacifica prices. and with the added bonus of having ping pong distract you enough from over-drinking.
In fact, they do have bands at Cheers. I have played there, many many many times, years ago, in a crappy 80s coverband, and in a cheesedick metal band for which the drummer for the 80s cover band recruited me [shiver].
9 times out of 10, when I walked in this place, they'd be playing Bon Scott AC/DC. Gotta freakin' love that shit.
First of all, you can smoke at this bar. Then there's the speedfreak, biker clientele. This is a good place to go if you don't *want* to go home at two and want to hang out doing dangerous things and listening to Free and Edgar Winters all night/morning.
The bartenders have *always* been cool and while the clientele can sometimes be a little trying (in partickler, snotty little hangovered metal chicks who don't like you as competition), it's a right good place to get smashed.
Just don't drive home. It's gets real foggy down there at night.
It's sad, having to add a bar to Yelp just to point out how bad it is, but there you go. Â I was warned about Cheers when I first moved to Pacifica, but determined to go to every bar in P-town (there's 5) I disregarded everyone's warnings and went inside.
It's a quasi sports/music venue/dive bar that really doesn't aspire to any of these labels. Â It also has nothing to do with the TV show bar. Â When I walked in, the bar was sparsely populated and a painfully bad heavy metal band was playing on the stage. Â A girl who must have been one of the band member's girlfriend's was the only one paying attention. Â I couldn't tell if she was blowing kisses towards the meaty lead singer or the lead guitarist with the stringy black hair.
I took me ten minutes to get a gin and tonic, despite there being no one ahead of me in line. Â The only thing that saved this bar from getting only one star was the grizzled union electrician at the bar who told me dirty jokes about catholic priests. Â
Regardless, it's bad. Â Don't come here.
OHHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDD!!!!! An honest to goodness Strip Mall Bar.
This is one of the heavy hitters in the Dive Bar Community.
CHEAP-ASS drinks.....and STIFF. Old-school bartenders.....serving old-school customers. There's a small stage, so they must have bands, or kareoke, or strippers, or some kind of entertainment. There's also a dance floor, so they must have bands, or kareoke, or strippers, or some kind of entertainment.
But wait!!!!! WTF is that on the dance floor? PING-PONG!!!!! That's right, FREE PING-PONG.
1970's are here at Cheers. From the furniture, to the regulars and staff, to the Jukebox and the bookshelf that is crammed full of reading material.....for those of you that want to get your novel on.
Here's the breakdown:
1 star for dive bar status.....this one could be Elite.
1 star for stiff drinks.....Viagra stiff.
1 star for Ping-Pong.....FREE and WTF?!?
1 star for old school.....or dropped out of school.
1 star for strip mall bar status.....while the girls are getting their shop on, you can get your drink on.
Watch the fuck out for flying Ping-Pong balls.....they can sting your real balls.
