Three Dots and a Dash®

With a secret alleyway entrance, Three Dots and a Dash is a speakeasy-style take on the traditional island bar—ready to transport you to the glamorous bygone eras of Trader Vic, Stephen Crane and Don the Beachcomber. Descend underground to discover a subterranean hideaway filled with Polynesian artifacts, a rum-soaked menu of more than two dozen classic, modern and original tropical cocktails and a selection of Polynesian-inspired bites. We are a 21+ venue.
