I was a kid when Cheers was current, and I've lived in the southeastern US my entire life, so maybe my perception is different. Throughout the series, various characters refer to it as a lower-quality bar. I know it is not upscale, but the average bar today doesn't have all that woodwork. I'm curious as to whether any people here who were adults at the time would have considered it "crummy", which is a term that's been used several times.
