Three Dots and a Dash

Super GemRiver North · Tiki Bar Community-sourced, unverified
📍 435 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60654

Opened in 2013 by Lettuce Entertain You, Three Dots and a Dash is named for a real 1940s-era tiki cocktail that tiki historian Jeff Berry rediscovered — the name itself is Morse code for "V," as in Victory.

The skull mug arrives with actual ceremony, down a hidden staircase past a wall of skulls — order it once just for the entrance alone.

It sold 6,000 drinks a week in its first year and helped kick off the serious-mixology wave in tiki bars alongside San Francisco's Smuggler's Cove. A real hidden-entrance experience: down a service alley, past a wall of skulls, and down a staircase before the room opens up.

Holds a 4.6-star rating across nearly 9,000 reviews.
