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.

The Kowloon rules, and it's definitely a great place for celebrations. I did my 29th birthday at the 'Loon and then took the family and some friends there for my post-law school graduation dinner. The owners took a shine to us and hooked us up with a Scorpion bowl (at the time, they weren't selling them because they were in short supply) and one of the Maoi salt 'n pepper shaker sets.

Good times, good times...
