No more Pupu!

  • Post author:

We just spoke with Tony, the owner of the Luau, and confirmed what tipsters like Maya have been telling us: tomorrow night, Tuesday, is the end of an era for the Luau Polynesian Lounge in Tangletown.

“It was just time,” Tony told us. “I’m 35, my wife’s 36, we’ve been at this for eleven years now, we’re starting to think about having kids, and it’s just time. You know, when you start to think about all the things you could do with the place, but you just don’t have it in you to do it all, you know the spark’s gone and it’s time to move on.”

And so move on they will. They found a good buyer (a rarity in These Tough Economic Times™) and now they’re going out in style. Stop by Tuesday night, they’ll be draining the kegs and singing the Hawaiian version of Auld Lang Syne, if there is one.

The new owner is not expected to continue the Polynesian theme, but no word yet on what’s planned.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
