This is the spot if you are looking for a sexy night out. Think: a glass of red and housemade pasta to share, maybe end the night with a shot of limoncello.

Out in River North? Three Dots and a Dash is the best spot to grab an after dinner drink. In an alleyway off Hubbard Street is where you can find this tropical speakeasy.
