For more than a decade, some of TV’s most popular characters passed through the door of the bar “where everybody knows your name.”
That same door from the set of "Cheers" sold for $162,500 Thursday night at Julien's, topping the pre-sale estimate of $125,000 to $150,000.
Featuring the familiar “Cheers” graphic on one side of the wooden door, it was originally acquired from CBS.
In June 2023, the bar counter from the sitcom's set sold for an astounding $675,000.
Compared to the bar, this door might carry more appeal to bidders as it is less unwieldy to fit into one’s home. However, the door obviously received far less screen time than the bar itself.
The Julien’s auction also included other props from the beloved series, including the barstool used by actor George Wendt in his role as Norm Peterson, which sold for $6,500.
