We went to Three Dots and a Dash on a late Tuesday evening to celebrate a few of my colleagues who recently received a promotion. We tried to get a table or booth when we came but they were completely booked/reserved. For a Tuesday night, it was pret

I love Three Dots & a Dash!! First time I came with friends during a visit to Chicago, we were pleasantly surprised with this amazing hidden venue. This second visit, we came again and the drinks were absolutely amazing. The presentation, service
Nice place to get drinks before dinner.
It's a tiki bar with speakeasy vibes located in a basement in an alley. Drinks were expensive but well crafted and tasty!

Visiting from California, I really admire diversity and this bar gave just that. The drinks were great, the music was amazing, and overall was really cute. If you like R&B music, this bar is great.
Love the drinks.
Drinks are fun and elaborate. It is, However, very dark inside, but maybe it's my old eyes. Lol
Very cool bar with awesome drinks.
The atmosphere can be a bit much at times, but the decor is nice. The room is dimly lit and music can be loud at times. It's worth popping by to see the place and how crazy the drinks are, but for me this place is a one and done.
Never been a huge fan of tiki bars, but this place changed
Never been a huge fan of tiki bars, but this place changed my mind. The vibe from entrance and throughout the establishment was immaculate. The decor was amazing, and the drinks bigger and better than I expected.
Such a fun tiki bar.
I loved the whole vibe right when I walked in. It's super dark inside with that tropical, escapist feel you want from a good tiki spot. Totally felt transported. The drinks were awesome. I started with the 1962 Tropical Itch which came in this
Three Dots and a Dash is a masterclass in tiki done right.
The drinks are not only delicious but absolute works of art, so beautifully presented. I honestly wish there was a tiki bar of this caliber closer to home. If you're into tiki drinks, this spot is absolutely worth a visit when you're in Ch
By far the cleanest back way entrance I've ever seen.
This place is definitely big but crammed, but for a good reason! Food and drinks are really good, heir MUST GET is the steak skewers, shrimp spring rolls and pork bites!! EXTRA sawsawan dipping sauce PLEASE!! All their staff are really friendly and a

Literally my favorite bar in all of Chicago.
I'm a huge tikki drink fan and you can't miss checking this place out when visiting Chicago. Every drink is amazing, the vibes are perfect. Place is amazing for celebrating with friends or for a more intimate date. I come here every chance
Don't go expecting to get quick drinks.
Especially on weekends. Service is extremely slow no organization

I love a great Tiki Bar and this one did not disappoint.
Luckily we got there just before the rush and were able to get seats at the bar. The drinks were fun and delicious and the bartender was great. The overall environment contributed to a great kickoff to our night out.

Came here with my friend- she loves this place and so she said we had to come here. The crab rangoon dip was so good, the seasoning on the sweet potato fries were so addictive I love how they had a trio of sauces! The drinks were really cute and

We went lōlō at Three Dots.
Probably because everyone who works there is wonderfully helpful and kind and very encouraging that you try another drink or appetizer - but we honestly came here for that energy. While I expected the drinks to be great (they were), the food was pret

This is such a cute place in Chicago! I think it's worth adding to your Chicago stop list. It's more so a pre game place. It was super packed and we waited in line to get in. They take reservations also which I recommend if you want a table

This has to be the cutest speakeasy that I've been to! Tucked away in alleyway, you could tell this place was popular as there was a line to get in. When I did get in it was really dark inside with the exception of the neon lit staircase (with s
Went for a nightcap here and it was really packed.
You can come for the bar, but it is standing room only. The dirnks are expensive and I feel like mostly full of ice. I liked the atmopsher, but if I came here for a reservation I would not like it becuae everyone standing at the bar are right on top

We didn't get drinks because we made the awful decision not to make reservations because we weren't sure what our plans were for the night but if even in the city agin it's first on my list to try to go agin. It's so amazing looki
Matt is the man!
I really enjoyed my visit to Three Dots. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is super cool. Matt is the best manager I have met. He corrected my merch order and even added an extra surprise as an apology for the mix up. I wish every manager took
Great place
Love this bar, kind of discret entrance, awesome atmosphere and decor. The cocktails were really good and original. The place to go for cocktails. I will return if i go back to Chicago.
Great to be back again!!!
I haven’t been here since pre-pandemic times. And it was great to be back. I love this tiki bar. My hobby is visiting tiki bars all over North America and the Caribbean. Elias served up some great tiki drinks!!! We also had the steak skewers, and

(4) ~ very good overall Happy Hour.
My favorite cocktail was their namesake: "Three Dots and A Dash". The glasses are also really cool, so I'm not sure if you can buy them separately???
Another 3 yeses.
Yes yes and yes i meant. If you are in town definitely check it out. If you wanna impress someone do sit by the bar and have a drink or two. Will the drinks come back to haunt you whenever you visit any other tiki bar? Maybe not but i recommend them
Whenever we have friends visiting Chicago we stop by here.
It is quite hidden in the alley next to firecakes doughnuts and once you enter the door it feels like you are in a different world. The vibe makes you feel like you are in an actual tiki bar on Hawaii. The drinks are delicious and very creative in ev

I recommend you make a reservation since most tables will be marked reserved and you will have to sit at the bar if not. A $10/ person deposit will be required when making a reservation but will be discounted from the entire bill. The bouncers, hoste

Hidden tropical gem!!!!
What a great spot in Downtown Chicago. Hidden in an alley way, you go downstairs to an exotic tropical retreat!! Drinks and food were fantastic. Staff was very friendly. If you’ve ever been to a Trader Vic’s, this has very similar vibes. Will

Tried this place out for the first time last week and I will be back! Great drinks! So many options! Lots of cool decor and drink presentations! If you are thinking about going then do it!
We arrived on a Friday evening, and there was a long line.
I think we waited about 40 minutes. I did like that they set up heater lamps in the line so that we wouldn't be freezing while waiting. This place is very busy and you need to have a reservation to get a table. Otherwise, you're limited to the bar ar

The atmosphere and drinks alone make this place worth your time. We love a good Tiki Bar and this is a great one. We sat in the bamboo room which is smaller and more intimate. It also had its own menu although you could order from the regular menus a

The drink is strong and very fun. Great place to visit in Chicago.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Three Dots and a Dash Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Three Dots and a Dash Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Three Dots and a Dash Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Three Dots and a Dash Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
