I was thinking of a new place...

Pappy was gonna do recon on the Tiki Hut.

Any word on that pappy? Worth a night out for the fine folks in the NE TC?

Good news and bad news:
A) The Tiki Hut in Leominster is closed and the storefront is empty.
B) But it was a dart room, pool room, live band venue, "knucklehead" bar anyway.

Interestingly, you can device for yourself whether A or B was the good news or bad news!

Funny thing about that spot in Leominster where "Tiki Hut" is/was is that it had been a real Tiki bar back in the day. My grandparents lived in Leominster when I was a kid (70s/80s) and I am 95% sure it was an Aku Aku, it might have been another name but was Tiki for sure. If I recall correctly there were Moais out front but I may be confusing it with my memories of the Moai at Aku Aku (RIP) in Cambridge. I am 100% sure my fascination with it back then infulenced my adult Tikiphilia. It definitely has not been Tiki since the 90's, so sad it fell so far. :(
