Where everybody knows your name...
So I was watching Cheers last night - it was the episode where the restaurant upstairs gets a new owner and there is all this commotion about the patrons of the restaurant being too stuffy for a bar like Cheers. And Sam gets all fired up at the demands of the new owner, who is requesting that Woody take reservations and transfer drinks from the bar up to their dinner tab, etc. (By the way - don't you think Woody Harrelson was at his peak as that lovable dopey jackass?) Anyway - my point is - why is the entrance to this restaurant in the bar? You have to take stairs UP to the restaurant, right? And you have to take stairs DOWN to the bar. So doesn't that make the restaurant at street level? Why wouldn't people just walk in the front door?

The actual Cheers bar has a restaurant upstairs and also had a street-level enterance. You should be able to enter at both places. So on the show, if you were early for your reservation and wanted to have a drink before dinner, you could enter at the Cheer's level and then head upstairs when it's time to eat. Assuming there is communication between both places so the restaurant knows you are waiting at Cheers.
What kind of geek corrects someone who is making an astute observation about a logical flaw in the construction of a TV bar/restaurant?
Oh... Hi Bill.
Yes, that was Woody's finest role...and the restaurant upstairs was called 'Hell's Kitchen'...or maybe not.
