The vegan kitchen at 6203 N Florida Ave. is located inside of Jug & Bottle Dept, which announced a search for a new owner last July. With Jug & Bottle’s end coming at the end of this month, 3 Dot (formerly known as 3 Dot Dash) is also moving on, but expressed gratitude to its followers.
“It was all of you lining up around the block for a fake chicken sandwich that pushed us into Jug, running a line to the door every night once we opened up. Even when the pandemic took that from us you continued to deal with remote ordering & obnoxious food delivery fees through all of it. Thank you for that,” 3 Dot wrote on social media.
Jug & Bottle is a community staple, known for its great beer, snacks, service and events like its Krampus’s holiday party. 3 Dot opened just before the pandemic, bringing plant-based comfort food to the neighborhood.
Fans of the vegan restaurant fawned over its Impossible meat subs and sandwiches. The menu includes a variety of “Burgers, Wieners and Chick’n” as spelled in their staple brown bag, accompanied by fries or tots.
3 Dot, in part, blamed its closure on the downturn happening at many food and beverage concepts post-pandemic.
“ …we are no exception. Combine that with the end of Jug’s time here (as we know it) on Florida Ave + the economic demands of our own lives and it all signs point to us winding things down as well,” the restaurant added.
The end of December now marks the end for both Jug’s and 3 Dot vegan kitchen. Until then, owners wrote on Instagram that they will accommodate orders until the end of the month, with their menu as is.
“We’ll keep the menu as is as long as we can, but will of course be running out of everything by the end,” the shop said, encouraging followers to support other businesses operated by Jug & Bottle and 3 Dot employees and owners.
