Stopped in on a Saturday, live music night. First impressions gave the vibe of a large, townie dive bar. To our chagrin, the door men and staff were surprisingly friendly. Free shots just inside the door were a nice touch! Didn't have to look to hard to find seats. Medium sized seating area, good-size bar. Bartenders were efficient, and grabbed us drinks right after spotting us. Drink prices seemed higher than some, but I'll just add that up to the live bands. Crowd looked a bit rough, but peace prevailed throughout the hard rock show. Leave the kids at home if traveling to Cheers...unless their names are Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary, then bring them with. You never know right? Worth a stop if you're looking for live music, a lively crowd, and quick bar service. If we make it back to South Bend, it won't be forgotten.
Review Source:This bar has some really excellent food. Â I hate to call it bar food, because it is really of much better quality. Â You can tell the new owners have a passion for what they do. Â We recently tried the brisket sandwich and it melted in our mouths. Â Excellent flavor! Â Keep it up. Â They also serve the best Chicago dogs I've had outside of Chicago... You'd think you were at Portillos. Â Give 'em a try. Â The food is good, the drinks are cold, and the price leaves you with a smile on your face and some cash left in your wallet.
Review Source:Love the staff, love the atmosphere. Â Fun, happy-go-lucky, and polite.
Every person I met in here worked their buns off- it was awesome. Â They even put my SC football game on the TV so I could watch it. Â
It was the perfect place to celebrate the Irish win and watch my SC destroy Florida. Â I highly recommend this establishment. Â
The jukebox was full of really fun songs- and when country music came out of the speakers a HUGE smile came across my boyfriend's face.
Great job guys!
Cheers is a great neighborhood dive bar to spend an evening drinking, playing pool, or listening to music. You wouldn't necessarily think to go here if you were driving by, or really even after first walking in, but Cheers has some good food, great specials, and can be a fun time. 35 cent chicken wings 3 or 4 days a week, breadsticks with mozzarella cheese inside (no not cheese sticks, actual breadsticks), and the ultimate deal... Wednesday $10 all you can drink beer.
From the look of the place you would expect a one or two star rating, and maybe it would only warrant a 3 star if not for the $10 Wednesday special, but that can't be beat.
I was going to give the place 3 stars, but gave them a bump due to the service. Â We stopped in around 10 p.m. for some food and drinks. Â They said they stopped serving food about 15 minutes ago, but would fire the grill back up, for us. Â I'm not sure many places would do this, lucky for us because we were pretty hungry. Â I got 10 hot wings for .35 a wing (Friday Night special) and my friend got a grilled cheese sandwich and fries for under $4.
The food was all pretty average bar food. Â Nothing special, but good food to fill you up and give you the grease you crave when drinking. Â
It was pretty slow for a Friday night, but it's to be expected in the summer in a college town. Â $5 pitchers of Budweiser and $3 well drinks made for a cheap night out. Â
Decent juke box and it looks like they are set up to have live music.
Decent enough divey watering hole that has bands. Â Nice pro sound system, good stage, generally a decent enough scene there. Â I've always had a good time here. Â Beer selection is sorta arse, but I'm betting the college kids and townies aren't too down with the microbrews or belgian beers.
