Celebrating A Birthday

I had a birthday recently and Mom and Dale and I  celebrated by heading to Psycho Suzi’s to sit on their glorious patio.

For my first drink I had the Paralyzed Politician. I believe it used to go by the Paralyzed Polynesian. Here’s how it was describe on the menu:

I didn’t get it in the mug (I already have it) but here’s how it looked in a regular glass:

Quite tasty. Dale and Mom had beer. 

In the above photo you can see Mom and Dale in the lower right quadrant. Dale was a little pissy that they didn’t have table service so I went and ordered the food from the bar which is where I took the picture from while waiting in line. Dale got a hamburger and Mom and I shared a Hawaiian pizza. We also had some appetizers (tater tots and calamari). It was a gorgeous evening to sit on the patio overlooking the Mississippi River.

For my second cocktail I got the Psychotic Suzi Shipwreck (see above) which I believe used to go by the Psychotic Suzi. 

I did not get the drink in the collectible mug (I already have it). However, the presentation was still quite lovely in a regular glass (see above). 

Dale cheered up especially once we got a little food in him and a good time was had by all. 

Especially me.

Dale,

Please stop teasing the tiki.

Thank you. 

Quarantiki - Psycho Suzi's Waterfront Lounge

Monday, July 13, 2020

Made reservations for Psycho Suzi’s patio extravaganza for this coming Thursday. Dale and I went in June and had a great time. We were supposed to go this past Thursday but couldn’t do it as I needed to self-quarantine due to waiting for my COVID test results. Anyway, this time we’re bringing Mom and she’s very excited.

Psycho Suzi's - 1st Visit of 2020

Saturday, January 25, 2019

Dale and I took Mom to pick up some chairs she had had refinished at a place near Psycho Suzi's where we stopped on the way home.

Dale needed to be told to leave the Maori outside alone. 

Dale and I are doing a dry January. Mom is not so she ordered a beer. Dale got a non-alcoholic beer. I got the one tiki drink on the menu that doesn't contain booze. It's called the Virgin Cockatiel and according to the menu it contains coconut, ginger, and a blend of fruit. I found it to be quite tasty. 

The wontons at Suzi's are fantastic. Mom loves 'em so we got a couple orders. We all talked for a while and had a great time. 

Before leaving I of course stopped by the gift store. I bought one of the tumblers that Suzi's is now using for their drinks instead of tiki mugs. 

The gentleman who rang me up asked if I'd like to see one of their limited edition discontinued mugs. Of course I said yes. When he brought it out I reached for it in my excitement thinking he would let me hold it. He wouldn't. The mug was of a shrunken head and it was awesome. He told me it would cost $60. I declined the offer but now I'm thinking I should have gotten it. Maybe next time. 

8th Psycho Suzi's Visit for 2019 - Mom!

Wednesday, August 7th, 2019

Mom asked if I could help her get a couple of chairs up to a refinishing place in Nordeast Mpls. not too far from Psycho Suzi's. Suzi's was right on the way but even though our destination was not too far off we had a heckuva time finding it. Anyway, find it we did and we stopped by Suzi's for a nice lunch of pizza, which Mom adores, but  also some fried wontons, which Mom also adores. I had my standard Psychotic Suzi cocktail and  Mom had a beer. We sat out on the patio overlooking the river. It was a gorgeous Minneapolis summer day. 

Lucky Cricket 4 for 2019 - With Mom

Friday, June 21, 2019

Took Mom to Lucky Cricket for lunch and she loved it. We shared some appetizers and the shrimp bowl. In the above picture we're having some soft serve for dessert. My tiki drink is in The Mystic mug by Joe Vitale.

Sixth Psycho Suzi's Visit for 2019 - Lunch with Mom

Thursday, June 13, 2019

Took Mom out to lunch today at Psycho Suzi's. I started out with a Psychotic Suzi while Mom ordered a beer. 

We ordered the Hawaiian pizza for lunch preceded by an appetizer of wontons. 

It was good to get caught up with Mom. I don't think I've seen her since Mother's Day because it gets so busy with work in May and early June. That's why I'm really glad for some time off now.

I don't think Mom has been to Suzi's since my birthday here back in 2012. She loves the atmosphere and pizza.

Archipelago: Washington D.C. - November 24, 2017

Friday, November 24, 2017

Every review I read of Archipelago before walking in the door made mention of their shrine to Tom Sellback's iconic television character, Magnum P.I. You have to ask to see it as it is behind a cupboard door. Our server opened it up for us. The kids were clueless as to what the show was but all the adults thought it was pretty cool - especially Mom!
