Our Story

In 1934, Donn Beach opened Dons Beachcomber

Cafe in Hollywood, California. Trader Vic followed
with his own tropical establishment in 1937, and
Stephen Crane in 1953. Each contributed something
invaluable to the Tiki drinking experience: Donn the
mixology, Vic the culinary innovation, and Crane the
hospitality. But alas, many others thought they too
had something to add, and Tiki jumped the shark
and landed in its watery (and watered-down) grave.
Then, in 1998, Jeff Beachbum Berry published
Beachbum Berrys Grog Log, and the classic cocktail
corpse of Tiki rose again. While the Bum unearthed
recipes from the notebooks of bartenders long since
retired, Martin Cate put them into practice at our
generations seminal Tiki bar, Smugglers Cove, in
San Francisco. (Finally, a bar at which to ruminate
over the bottomless well of rum knowledge possessed
by Chicagos own Minister of Rum, Ed Hamilton).
Over the past few years weve learned much from
dabbling in Polynesian mixology. When Don the
Beachcomber said, What one rum cant do, three
rums can, We took that to also mean, What one
rum cant do, three rumsand a gin and a whiskey
and a brandycan. The Tiki tradition of splitting
base spirits has certainly become part of our
signature style. Balancing that with our proclivity
for a less is more approach and a preference for
a dry flavor profile in our cocktails, We hope youll
find a uniqueness in our original recipes, or what we
hope will be the contribution Three Dots and a Dash
makes in the grand history of Tiki.
But, after all, the very bar you find yourself in now
is named for a classic recipe. That is why we took
special care when curating the Classics portion of
our menu and why exactly half of the selections we
offer are from our Tiki forefathers. Youll find the Tiki
canon well represented, but also some of the quirkier,
lost-along-the-way recipes you may not yet be
familiar with. We aim to meet the standards of craft
and taste set by Donn Beach and Trader Vic,
and pay homage to the special hospitality
practiced by Stephen Crane.
With that, please enjoy your cocktails and
your evening at Three Dots and a Dash.
Thank you for joining us!
