Our History
As you come to the corner of Park and Adams, in front of you is what was in 1898 - 1942 Mission Cliffs Gardens. A five acre recreational park created by the San Diego Cable Railway Company to promote travel on their cable car company. It was considered one of the most beautiful gardens in the country. When you turn right on Adams, just passed Cheers on your left hand side is what's left of the gardens, now known as Trolly Park this once was where the cable cars were housed.
Adjacent to the Trolly Park was Harvey Bentley's Ostrich Farm. In the 1900's Mr. Bentley raised ostrich's for lady's ostrich feather hats and garmets, which were very popular durring that time. You could also visit the farm and have a ride on one of his intriguing birds.
Cheers was once a General grocery store back in 1908, later to become a beer and wine bar. The previous owner purchased and named Cheers in 1982, the same year the famous TV show appeared on television. The Current owner Jim purchased Cheers in the late weeks of 1995 aquiring official ownership by January 1996. With open hearts for open minds, cheers continues to flourish. We here at Cheers appreciate and value our current patrons and hope to see all you new one's there.
