The wife and I went to Chicago this past weekend and did have a chance to go to
Three Dots.
We got there at 6:00 on Sat to avoid the crowd, Not, the place was busy!
Stood at the bar like 6 feet away just kinda waiting to get a table or something
When a bartender “Tim” reached over to hand us a menu from the six feet away.
Most places I have been will not do this, heck I have been to places where the bartenders are
Right in front of you so busy entertaining each other that a paying customer is the last thing
On their minds.

We put in our names for a table but as luck would have it two seats opened up right in front of
Us at the bar with “Tim the bartender”
At the bar we talked with the folks around us (it was a youngish crowd) and the bar and
Bartender helped make this happen.
(some bars are built in a way that makes talking to others at the bar hard, and some bartenders
Don’t Know how to get these conversations going)
It is sad that newer bartenders don’t get this as getting your customers talking to one another
Keeps these people out of the bartenders hair happy, occupied and spending money.
This is how your business gets regulars.

We did eat as well and the food and drinks were very good.
Service was fast, and over all the place was great!
Cool upscale tiki décor, could use more lights but then I sell tiki lights so what did you think I would say.
The music was not what most would call tiki but we liked it, think tropical.
We did buy mugs as well, four mugs.(That sea Urchin mug is very cool!)
They did not give you that $hit I gotta get this a$$ a mug look when you asked for them.
We did drop over $200.00 at this place so it’s not cheap, but then it’s is Chicago so
Nothing is cheap.

So I say you must go to Three Dots.
It’s a great place.
