While visiting Minneapolis I heard about an old school tiki bar that was a must visit. With a name like Psycho Suzi I could not wait to check this place out.
As soon as I walked up to the building I was greeted by a wooden tiki statue. I knew I was in for fun experience.
I followed signs for the tiki bar. I was passing an assortment of tiki statues, Easter Island statues, tropical plants, and even wicker chairs for photo ops.
They have an entire menu filled with classic tiki cocktails. They all come in fancy ceramic tiki glasses (all of which are available in their gift shop). It was hard to narrow down which one I wanted to try.
After reading through each one I decided to try the Native’s Cruse. This cocktail was full of rum, passion fruit juice, coconut, and citrus juices. It came in a huge glass, almost like a fish bowl, complete with a little tropical umbrella.
Thank goodness it came with a straw because there was no way I could drink from the cup itself.
The flavor of the drink was great. It was strong from the rum, but the passion fruit was the main ingredient I could taste. The coconut flavor came more as an after taste.
I had a sweet tooth while I was there. I checked out their dessert menu. I ordered an ice cream sundae. I thought that would be fun. It too came out in a tiki glass. This one was plastic though. The creamy ice cream was covered in chocolate syrup. It was really good. It made me feel like a kid again.
Psycho Suzi’s was a fun place that transports you to another place. Check them out at www.psychosuzis.com
Enjoy!
