Found this guy at one of the second hand stores I frequent. No, I did not buy him.

Another Pre Union Meeting Visit to Psycho Suzi's

Thursday, December 13, 2018

Joint was jumpin' and there was a high maintenance group at the bar.  Due to that service was a tad slow but the drinks were awesome.

Minneapolis has a new restaurant and tiki bar! These are screen shots from their website before they opened. They're up and running now and I can't wait to go.

Abby's Tiki Bar Part 2

Abby designed a menu for her tiki bar which included drinks snacks and even pie!

I ordered both key lime and pumpkin!

Abby's Tiki Bar Part 1

While visiting my brother Pete in Washington DC over the week of Thanksgiving, we tried to get in to Archipelago on Wednesday. We drove in to the city and it turned out they were closed. My neice, Abby, felt so badly that we couldn't get in that she surprised me by creating a tiki bar just for me on Thanksgiving Day! Xander, Emma, and Abby's friend Kayliegh helped her set it up. She designed mostly non-alcoholic cocktails although Stephanie helped her concoct a signature tiki drink just for me that contained gold rum, light rum, lemon juice, lime juice, Horny Gator mix, and Sprite. She served it up in the shark tiki mug I bought her last year at Archipelago. I was so touched by the thoughtfulness of it all that I got a little teary. Thanks, Abby!

Pre Union Meeting Visit to Suzi's

Thursday, November 8, 2018

Stopped by Suzi's prior to an afternoon union meeting. Started with the Psychotic Suzi. My bartender did a particularly good job of making this one. Sometimes the drink ends up a little on the sweet side. 

Next, a Crummy Scoundrel. Again, expertly made. Not too sweet. 

My bartender was top notch. She was very personable and she gave me a sample of a coconut porter from Maui Brewing Company. 

It was quite substantial. I really liked it and that's saying something cuz I'm not a huge beer fan.

Post Union Meeting Visit to Suzi's

Thursday, October 25, 2018

Union meeting after work. It ended early so I headed over to Suzi's for some pizza and tiki drinks. The place was decked out for Halloween.

I was delighted to find Exotic A-Go-Go playing. Didn't realize they played other than Friday. I started out with my ever-lovin' favorite Psychotic Suzi. The dry ice really makes it.

The Hawaiian pizza is always scrumptious.

Ordered another Psychotic Suzi.

My bartender was a really nice guy with personality plus. He gave me the wrong ticket when I checked out and was very apologetic. I told him he had taken good care of me and that I was watching out for him too. He told me, "It's teamwork that makes the dream work."

The second mug futures a wahine.

After our visit to the dock we headed back inside to stop by the gift shop. Of course they had a mess of new mugs and I picked a couple up (not that I needed them).

Psycho Suzi's overlooks the Mississippi River and has a "dock" behind it although there is no actual structure that extends into the water for boats to pull up to. However, I have seen people pull up in kayaks and beach them there. The water is pretty high right now compared to when Dale and I were there this past August.

For our second round Dale had another beer and I had a Crummy Scoundrel. Here we find Dale trying to cope with his alien had syndrome.

Lunch with Dale at Psycho Suzi's which is all decked out for Halloween. He started with beer and I began with the Psychotic Suzi. I've never had it served with dry ice before. That made it pretty fun.

For lunch Dale had an apple/spinach salad with chicken breast added to it. I had the Hawaiian Surf pizza which is made up of Canadian bacon and Pineapple. I was gonna get the mac and cheese with bacon added but they've taken it off the menu. It turns out it was a summer special. Our server, Richard, informed us he was perplexed as to why they did this since baked mac and chesse works nicely for fall and winter as well. I had to agree. No worries though because I LOVE Hawaiian pizza.

Quick trip to Suzi's after my union meeting up in Nordeast. Gorgeous September evening with patio doors and windows opened. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the breeze.

I ordered the Hawaiian Surf pizza for dinner. My first tiki cocktail was  The Crummy Scoundrel. It's one of my favorites.

My second cocktail was the Paralyzed Polynesian. Haven't had it for a while. I love the hints of hibiscus.

Tiki mugs abound. Suzi has quite the collection.

They have some old school Witco-style furniture. I wonder if it's authentic?

Not sure why peacock chairs are a tiki thing but I've seen them a lot lately in the tiki-themed Instagram accounts I follow.
