My new fav bar in Chicago. Amazing vibes, cool bartenders, great price on food and awesome space…read more The past two times I visited Chicago, I've had to stop by. Nothing beats the six dollar burger. The bar area and patio are great places to lounge and meet new people. They have an area in between that to play darts, also a great conversation starter. Noise level is it too bad, can easily have a conversation here. Overall, just a great bar for a casual, good time

I stopped by Best Intentions solely to check out their burger, and I was EXTREMELY delighted by my…read moreexperience. I ordered a single cheeseburger, which was $7. It was SO delicious and juicy. The meat was also on the thinner side, which made it so easy to bite into. The onions paired so well with the sauces, cheese, meat, and buns. Honestly so flavorful. I also ordered hand-cut fries, and again I had no complaints. The fries were salted very well and came with its own sauce. I'm not quite sure what the sauce was, but I was not a huge fan of it and just opted for the ketchup. Overall, LOVED my food. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Best Intentions. The service was quick and quite lovely as well. I loved their patio seating. To note, I stopped by during the week at around 5-6pm, and I had no trouble getting a seat! I will definitely return when I'm craving a burger!

I feel bad if anyone lives in the units above the establishment. Great rotating happy hour items keep things interesting. Atmosphere is very laid back and casual classy vibe. I'd gladly be back but I'd look at the happy hour menu first. Happy hour does seem to last all day? No specificities on their menu. Street parking was limited. Only drinks, no food.

WOOOO HOOOOOO Only 1 thing that drove me crazy, I saw a gnat in my drink & it happened to be still alive! GROSS... They need to watch out for that!

It is purely a bar meaning they only serve drinks, but they do allow outside food. There is a pizza spot nearby that it seemed like most people were ordering from and just walking over. The drinks were really well made and the staff were very personable. It was interesting to see the different names of famous people etched onto the bar like Natasha cloud from the Chicago Sky for example. I should've asked the significance of the people they chose to place on the bar, but maybe I'll ask on my next visit.

Some day, a Logan Square hipster whose nose for craft beer is as a bloodhound's for deer will cross…read morethe tracks and realize that they have Revolution Anti-Hero and Gold Cross on tap here. If they bring volume geometry skills with them, they might be disappointed to realize that the consistently short pours here are much closer to 12 oz. (i.e. bottle/can size) than the full pint typical of draughts east of the tracks. Might as well settle for bottles and cans. But, a better reason to come here is because it's the kind of solid, friendly neighborhood bar which is becoming increasingly scarce to the east and it's not at all seedy like some spots on the western fringe of Logan Square that you might walk past to get here. Recently rehabbed from its prior incarnation as Trier's Lads, this is easily the best-kept bar within at least a mile west past Weegee's on Armitage. With numerous TVs there's not a bad seat in the house for watching a game (or horses at off-peak hours). Though Hermosa is a predominantly Latino neighborhood, English is the dominant language amongst the white & blue collar mix here, and this is your place to go if your Spanish isn't ready for La Posada across the street. So that's what they do here, they provide a social setting, they show sports on the television, and they serve beer. Friends for the friendless, drunkenness to the sober. If you happen to need something more, you can snack on the tasty plantain chips from La Casa Del Jibaro, stare at the disco ball, or reach into the box of free condoms provided courtesy of the Chicago Community Condom Project.

I have gotten bourbon here, they do not have Dickle if you're looking, but they have a nice selection. For beer they have a lot of local options on draft. The inside of the bar is very red, and there are always dogs sitting at the bar which is cute. Definitely recommend if you are in the neighborhood.

Made us feel uncomfortable, so we left. Fast forward to a couple nights ago . We were in the area and gave it another chance. Couldn't help to notice that all hip hop, rap, Latin music are completely blocked off. Politely asked the bartender what was up with that? He seemed very uncomfortable with my question and gave us a very sarcastic response. "Well, I guess that's a racist juke box." We immediately felt the bad energy. We proceed to finish our beers and play a jazz song by a black female singer. Immediately the bartender and some older biker looking dudes next to us start talking smack about the song. They asked if we put the song on? We said yes, and tell us to read the room. So I respond in a very sarcastic tone. "oh, you want us to read the room, would you like us to play some Toby Keith or Kid rock for you?" They smirked and had no response. I strongly believe the place is owned and operated by white supremacist maga brothren's. I would strongly encourage people In the neighborhood to stop supporting this business.
