Foresake the mundane, the dreary, the dreadful! Denounce the stiff, the starchy, the pretentious! Enter the world of Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge. With our thin veneer of fakery, we'll show that life in these parts is neither lackluster or serious. Let us assail your senses with our enticing cocktails, homemade foods, phony decor, and garish good looks. We offer delectable American food including our award-winning Northeast Minneapolis pizza pie. And we serve food and drinks until 2 am everyday!

Our patio, Poor Man's Paradise, is open year round for those of you who enjoy drinking cocktails in freezing hailstorms or other imperfect weather conditions...'cause it's hard for us to resist a diehard. See the gallery for a glimpse of the good life.

At 9pm, Psycho Suzi's magically transforms into a bar. You may not even notice the subtle changes -- the twinkle in your waitress' eye, the sudden presence of elves and fairies eager to get their drink on -- but you will notice that you'll be carded at the door. That's right, you must be 21 to enter after 9. Don't worry, we'll still be here when you're older.

Psycho Suzi's is not currently taking reservations. We like to foster a spirit of healthy competition, so get here early if you want a seat. Please, no throwing elbows or chairs. Check back here in the future to find out when we'll be taking reservations again.

Yes, we have parking. Remember those old-time drive-in burger joints, where the greasers and the jocks would take their hot rods and their best girls and get in knife fights over whose hair was slickest? It's that kind of parking. Except without the rollerskates and milkshakes, and with slightly fewer knife fights. You may find a certain degree of challenge in navigating our vintage, roofed-over parking lot, which we think adds to its charm. However, if you do not, we encourage you to partake of the free street parking in the neighborhood. Just stay off the neighbors' lawns, lest you get sprayed with a hose.

Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge opened on November 24, 2003. The building was originally an A&W restaurant and operated as such for several decades. Psycho Suzi's added on to the existing building, constructing the addition under the original car port. Much of the original kitchen equipment is still in place and is operable to this day. The car hops are no more, but the second-rate glory of yesteryear is alive and well.

The area on which Psycho Suzi's now stands was briefly captured by pirates in 1722, who believed it contained the world's only naturally-occurring rum spring. A surprising number of pirate attacks have occurred since then, including one incident in 1985 in which a band of dim but motivated scallywags attempted to tow Northeast Minneapolis out to sea. The locals claim the ghost of Cap'n William "Black" Hannigan (pictured above) still haunts these streets, leading many to quaff fanciful rum drinks in novelty tiki glasses, hoping to learn the location of his buried treasure. And yes, this is all made up.
