Mr. Ho going to be in Minneapolis this weekend - is psycho suzi's all there is to see for tiki? Exotica? drinkos? I am coming out to see some of the nordic roots festival and hang. never been!

Psycho Suzi's is our only remaining Tiki bar. Look above to see my response to Dr. Shocker for info about Psycho Suzi's.

David Fong's is an old-school Cantonese restaurant with decent cocktails. Several years ago, Quince_at_Danny's had this to say about David Fong's:

Next time you're in the Twin Cities, check out David Fong's in Bloomington. No tiki eye candy to be had, but it has a nice red vinyl/vintage cantonese chop suey joint feel to it, and they still serve up some good grub and classic drinks (Mai Tai, Zombie, Puka Puka, Rum Swizzle, etc.. ) Inexplicably, the drinks are great even though they use bottled sweet and sour mix, maraschino cherry juice, cheap rum and little to no fresh juice. I could make a better drink with really good ingredients, but I could never match what they do using what they use... That's alchemy!

You can also find decent cocktails and good Thai food at King and I Thai in Minneapolis.

For retro lounge, I would recommend Nye's Polonaise Room and Mancini's Char House and Lounge.

When will you be in town? I might have time to meet up with you on Friday evening and Sunday. I'm unavailable on Saturday.

I'll send a note to some of the other Tiki people in the Twin Cities. Maybe they will chime in with suggestions.
