English term or phrase: welcome and cheers
it's used as welcome in a sportsbar
hans jansen
Russian translation:Рад видеть! Рады видеть!
Explanation:
A direct translation would go like: "Добро пожаловать! Ура!", but it does not sound natural when you greet a friend who enters a bar.

I would go with "Рад видеть!" (Rad videt') or "Рады видеть!" (if there are several people who greet a person.

As for \"cheers\", if it means you lift up your glass with beer or something like this, then here we usually just raise the glass and show it to the person which means we wish him or her good health and drink for this.

In the later case you may add, for example: \"За твое здоровье!\" or, more colloquial, just \"Твое здоровье!\"

And if \"Welcome and cheers\" are words written at the entrance to the bar, it means : \"Добро пожаловать! Будем здоровы!\"

\"Rad videt\' !\" (when one person says this)

\"Rady videt\' !\" (when several persons greet their friend)

\"Za tvoyo zdorov\'e !\" or \"Tvoyo zdorov\'e !\" -- when drinking and wishing the person good health and well-being.
