Sing's Polynesian Restaurant and Lounge
10 Apr 1971
First visit, as a child. I remember the tiki decor, including the indoor "waterfall" and goldfish pond with all the pennies in it. I tossed one in for good luck. It felt like being in a very foreign place. Food was very good early-on. Was a regular outing for my family, and the bar was a popular after-work stop for many men.

Sing's Polynesian Restaurant and Lounge
Bangor, Maine, United States (Closed)
The Sing family operated Sing's Polynesian Restaurant and Lounge since 1969 in the Penobscot Plaza in Bangor, Maine.
They later decided to expand southward to Greater Portland where they opened Sing's Cantonese Polynesian American Restaurant and Lounge at 152 Main Street, Westbrook. The family lacked the management structure necessary to operate two such widely separated restaurants and closed the Westbrook location by 1976. This Westbrook location became site of the Polynesian Village until its close in 1997.
Sing's in Bangor is now the site of Hero's sports bar.
There was also a Sing's location in Lewiston, open at least as late as 1980 (color photo of sign below may have been from the Lewiston location).
