About
Rum comes first here, with tropical classics that stay bright and structured rather than sugary. The name nods to the wartime Three Dots and a Dash cocktail, whose garnish spells V for victory in Morse code, and that same heritage shows up in the bar’s deep rum focus and playful tiki presentation. You enter via the alley at 435 North Clark Street, which keeps the mood feeling like a little find even in busy River North. For a more dialed in, spirits focused round, book The Bamboo Room, a bar within the bar devoted to refined rum drinks and agricole.
