Dot Dot Dot

Dot Dot Dot is the prohibition style speakeasy in a former storage unit behind Park Road Shopping Center, and it has been voted the city’s best speakeasy by a wide margin. It is members only, but membership is $10 a year, so the barrier is more about the door than the money: look for the three dot sign and the staff member guarding it, then walk the long candlelit hall.

Upscale cocktails, a serious food menu, a dress code that is enforced and a staff that treats regulars like family. The non alcoholic program is real, and any cocktail can be made with spirit free options. Reservations are strongly recommended on weekends.
