About Best Intentions

Best Intentions is a beloved neighborhood cocktail bar located at 3281 W Armitage Ave in Chicago's Logan Square. Reopened in 2023 after a three-year hiatus, this establishment strikes the perfect balance between dive bar charm and craft cocktail excellence. While often described as a "hipster bar," Best Intentions has earned its reputation as an unpretentious spot with exceptional drinks and food.

Atmosphere

- Retains the authentic charm and feel of a no-frills dive bar - Cozy interior with a "broken-in" vibe that newer bars struggle to replicate - Popular outdoor patio that's "always kickin'" during warmer months - Communal tables create a social atmosphere - Groovy tunes complement the relaxed setting

Notable Features

- Award-winning cocktail program (featured on North America's 50 Best Bars 2024) - Signature drinks including the Horchata Margarita and Wondermint - Affordable $6 burger widely praised as "amazing" and "fantastic" - Matzo ball soup (though noted as being a bit salty) - Reasonable prices with good value
