The actual bar from the hit TV show “Cheers” is going up for auction.
As bidding gets underway, 7NEWS spoke with the collector who is selling the bar.
“This is where Norm sat and that’s is where Cliff sat for 275 episodes from 1982 and 1993,” said James Comisar while giving a tour. “It’s like holy ground.”
The “Cheers” bar now going on the auction block comes complete with its brass railings and taps, its burgundy stools and the bar back set up. The names of some of the “Cheers” actors are also carved into the wood.
While now in better condition, the item wasn’t as nice when Comisar found out.
“Once it comes off the stage, studios throw it in the cheapest warehouse they can find,” he continued. “They stack stuff on top. This was in very rough shape.”
After decades of work finding and restoring the bar, making sure a set that felt like home for so many finds a good home of its own is hard for Comisar.
“We could place these pieces into the hands of collectors who always loved them,” Comisar said. “They’ll take care of them and it’s sort of going next gen to the next generation of collectors.
The “Cheers” bar is part of a larger group of items up for auction that also includes memorabilia from “The Tonight Show,” “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad,” as reported by the Associated Press.
Already accepting online bids, the auction is set to end with live bidding in Dallas between June 2 and June 4.
Cheers premiered on TV in 1982 drawing inspiration from what was then known as the Bull & Finch Pub on Beacon Hill.
At last check Wednesday, the highest bid for the bar was up to $100,000.
