The Polynesian



 One of Seattle's premiere tiki bars and restaurants was called The Polynesian. It was located on Pier 66, overlooking Elliott Bay, and was known for its unique Polynesian-inspired atmosphere, complete with tiki torches, thatched roofs, and bamboo accents. The restaurant was adorned with Polynesian artifacts, such as masks, carvings, and colorful murals, creating an immersive island vibe for diners.

The menu at The Polynesian featured a variety of tropical cocktails, including classic tiki drinks like Mai Tais, Piña Coladas, and Zombie cocktails, all served in festive tiki mugs. The food offerings included Polynesian-inspired dishes such as coconut shrimp, pineapple fried rice, and teriyaki chicken, as well as seafood options like fresh fish and crab.

In addition to the dining area, The Polynesian also had a lively bar area with live music and entertainment, including hula dancers and ukulele players, adding to the festive atmosphere of the restaurant. The outdoor patio provided stunning views of the Seattle waterfront, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to enjoy a drink or meal while taking in the scenic surroundings.

Unfortunately, The Polynesian closed its doors in 2015, after nearly 30 years in operation. The pier it was located on underwent renovations, and the restaurant was not able to continue operating in its original location. However, its unique Polynesian-themed decor and lively atmosphere are still remembered fondly by those who had the opportunity to experience it.
