Iconic North Shore restaurant plans Revere Beach tiki bar in 2026
One of the most recognizable restaurants on the North Shore is gearing up to open a seaside spot later this year.
Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus is planning to open on Revere Beach this spring, a spokesperson for the restaurant confirmed to MassLive on Thursday. The concept will be called Kowloon Tiki On The Beach.
Located at 21 Revere Beach Blvd., the space will have capacity for 115 people inside and 60 outside, CBS Boston reported citing a legal notice. The bar will also feature music, dancing and is expected to be open until 2 a.m., according to the news outlet.
"We have been in active discussions with Kowloon about their plans and are excited to welcome them to America's First Public Beach," Revere planning chief Tom Skwierawski said, per CBS Boston.
Kowloon is expected to share more information about Kowloon Tiki On The Beach very soon.
Kowloon has been owned by the Wong family since it opened in 1950. Last year, Kowloon celebrated its 75th anniversary with a block party that honored the restaurant's legacy.
"It's our family's legacy. A living album of our lives. … What a wonderful gift for us six children to come to work and have time together with each other, and especially with our dad and mom," Lisa Wong said at the event, Itemlive reported. "Thank you all for joining us in honoring our dad and mom's legacy, Kowloon, a place for loved ones, including ourselves, to gather and create more memories and great food."
Tiki On The Beach is the latest venture from the Kowloon family. In September 2024, the Wong family helped to open 9 Dragons at The Brook Casino in Seabrook, New Hampshire.
The "one-of-a-kind Asian dining concept and nightlife experience" is not a new Kowloon, nor a replacement of the legendary Route 1 locale in Saugus. Instead, 9 Dragons showcases a mix of favorites from Kowloon as well as new items .
"9 Dragons, which is literally the translation of the Cantonese word 'Kowloon,' is the perfect metaphor for what we have created with this new restaurant," Bobby Wong, whose family owns and operates Kowloon, said in a press release. "But make no mistake about it, 9 Dragons is not Kowloon. It is a totally different culinary and creative experience, though it shares a common history and culture with its older cousin."
