This isn’t your ordinary holiday event where Santa swings by and everyone toasts with eggnog in a glittery room. This is much more unique. Read on below to learn how to take part in this kitcy, quirky, Chrismas celebration:

Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge is a well-known restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota. It has an amazing patio overlooking the Mississippi River, making it a popular place to visit all summer long. But thanks to their inventive holiday programming, this is also an amazing destination in December.

Every winter the restaurant becomes even more fun with a Christmas event called Mary's Christmas Palace. Previously held at Betty Danger's Country Club, the event moved to Psycho Suzi's in 2020 and has been operating there ever since. It's hard to beat such a unique locale as Psycho Suzi's.

Psycho Suzi's will be decked out with holiday lights and decorations through the entire months of November and December. Mary's Christmas Palace typically lasts until December 31.

With two floors and many bars scattered through the restaurant, the venue has plenty of space for fun of all kinds, whether you want to have a casual drink or get down on the dance floor. Guests may make reservations for 1.5-hour time slots to enjoy the festivities. Up to 10 guests per table are allowed, so bring your friends!

The menu for the event includes many Psycho Suzi's favorites with a new Christmas twist. Offerings include pizzas, tater tots, and more. You certainly won't go hungry at this holiday extravaganza.

For dessert, try making fun donut ornaments or decorating your own Christmas cookies. This interactive dessert is sure to be a fun - and tasty - addition to your meal out. You might be surprised how talented of a cookie artist you turn out to be!

Of course, it wouldn't be Psycho Suzi's without some fun drinks. More than a dozen interesting and festive cocktails make up the Christmas drinks menu. Wine and beer are also available so you can toast the holiday with whatever spirit you prefer.

Psycho Suzi's even has a special Christmas brunch! Each Sunday, they serve up delicious brunch platters which include donuts, bacon, scrambled eggs, tater tots, biscuits and gravy, and more. So if staying out late at night isn't your jam, celebrate in the morning with a brunch feast!

Mary’s Christmas Palace is a pay-as-you-go event. Each guest pays a cover charge to enter the event. Food and drinks are an additional cost, so you can scale your outing to your budget.

What’s The Deal With Psycho Suzi’s?

CC | November 01, 2022

Psycho Suzi’s was a restaurant that was all about losing the pretension and having a good time. With intentionally tacky décor, strong Tiki drinks, and a robust set of event programming, the restaurant was meant to encourage visitors to relax and let loose.

In addition to good vibes, Psycho Suzi’s had a huge patio facing the Mississippi River; in fact, it was the only riverfront dining in Minneapolis, so you were in for a unique experience no matter what. On the menu, you’d find delicious pizza recipes and an array of fried goodies worthy of a state fair.

At the Shangri-la Cocktail Lounge, you’d find three different bars all serving up wild drinks and you could rent out the two-story space for your own party. No matter what kind of adventure you were looking to have, you could do it at Psycho Suzi’s.

Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge closed down after 20 years as a Minneapolis icon on August 19, 2023.
