I love bourbon and I love a great tiki bar! With Three Dots and a Dash… I got both! Located back in an alley at 435 N Clark in Chicago, Three Dots and a Dash can be a little tricky to find. You’ll have to look down the alley to see tiki torches lighting the way. Once you get past the door guy, you’ll go down a dark stairwell into a “holding area” with a hostess. Once they find a seat, we got there early and sat at the bar, you’re brough into a world of kitschy tiki wonder. Their drink menu is more rum focused as you would guess but it’s awesome!
I had the Bourbon Special:
Bourbon Special
- Bonded bourbon
- Jamaican pot still rum
- 151 proof demerara rum
- Madeire
- Lemon
- Ginger
- Honel
- Islay mist
Tiki bars are the first think you think of when you want a bourbon drink and Chicago may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about tiki bars but hey… it works and it was an awesome time!
