The Tiki Barber – 22 Aug 2022
Tim "Temple Climber" Kincaid – Date: Unknown
A well-seasoned, lauded, and beloved but very dated tiki venue just 30 minutes north of Boston. Is known as a genuine, local Saugus institution. Paintings of Hawaiian landscapes bedeck the walls, a large fountain pool with dining seating surrounding it, framed photographs of famous comedian and musician guests, and a healthy share of East Asian aesthetics, thanks to the heritage of its founders.
While the inheritors/owners go through a soul-searching process about the future and direction of their tiki past, they have plans to knock down the main restaurant and move to a smaller, more modern, custom-built structure on the same property. I can only hope they decide that a tiki palace is not only worth the continued financial investment, but that they know it will be a huge draw for people seeking relaxation and escape in an already-loved environment. Here's to hoping they revamp and renew, not knock and level!

During covid, limited seating so ordered out but got to walk through restaurant which seemed awesome.
