The Bamboo Room at Three Dots and a Dash

"The Bamboo Room is concealed behind some curtains near the host stand at Three Dots And A Dash, and has equally outrageous drink presentations. But the menu is completely different, so this small bar-within-a-bar deserves its own entry on this guide. The more expensive drinks here tend to be fruit-forward but well-balanced, like “The Pretty One,” which arrives in a terrarium filled with shells, fake plants, and dry ice. And because The Bamboo Room only has a few high-tops and barstools, the bartenders have more time to guide you through the rum and rhum agricole cocktails." - veda kilaru, john ringor
