According to an article in the Saugus Advertiser, Kowloon Restaurant has gotten approval by the Saugus Board of Selectmen to set up an outdoor area that includes four Tiki huts along with a 10-seat Tiki bar and with a total seating capacity of 106. This setup will be different from last year, which was basically a simple outside tent with seating, and this year's plans also include "island-style" live music. No opening date has been given as of yet for Kowloon's outdoor area, so keep checking back for updates.
Kowloon, which first opened in 1950, is considered to be one of the top-grossing independent restaurants in New England.
The address for Kowloon is 948 Broadway (Route 1), Saugus, MA, 01906. Its website is at https://www.kowloonrestaurant.com/
[June 19 update: A comment within Kowloon's Facebook page indicates that the outdoor tiki bar should be opening this week.]
