Wow. I just found this site this past weekend. I am checking out these Tiki haunts and of course, the 'Loon reigns supreme for local Tiki.
I grew up about 3 miles north up Rte 1 in Peabody and have always lived within a 30 minute drive of this place. Proms, birthdays, anniversary parties, or just looking for a great night out, this was the spot!

For the most part, family-run all these years. The owners are always around and, if you ask nicely, they are willing to look around for some stuff from the past. My brother and I went there for a coupla' mai tais and some teriyaki nuggets after a concert and he talked the owner into hooking him up with a salt and pepper shaker set from the early 70s! Score.

Yeah, between the massive Weyluh's (or rather, now East Manor,) Sake, the Japanese restaurant, as well as the Hilltop, The Prince House and the big orange dinosaur, Rte 1 is great.
There used to be another spot up the road called the Diamond Head that my father went to. But it went out of business in the 80s and I don't remember it in detail. Bummer.
