Three Dots and a Dash is a hidden underground tiki bar in River North serving creative, strong cocktails inspired by the best tiki bars worldwide, with impressive presentation in ornate mugs and elaborate garnishes. The tropical atmosphere is energetic and fun, with attentive service and even non-alcoholic options available. The main caveat: it's extremely popular and can get uncomfortably packed and hot, especially on weekends, making reservations essential and walk-ins risky for groups.
