Best Intentions

Bar · Logan Square

"Best Intentions, the Logan Square cocktail bar, is an unusual spot to find matzo ball soup, much less one flavored with duck fat, lemongrass, and ginger. But Best Intentions serves a wonderful version of this comforting Jewish American staple alongside their fancy drinks. This bar was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2025." - Naomi Waxman
