"Compared to the other spots on this list, Best Intentions in Logan Square has the scene of a club. Weekends are packed with people standing close together, especially when their back patio isn’t open. But it scores high on the “antique store finds” scale. The place is covered with Old Milwaukee signs and portraits of people who never imagined they’d become wallpaper in a Chicago bar. Best Intentions shows Midwestern pride with its big wall of beer cans in the back, plus they also have excellent cocktails and one of the best burgers in the city." - nick allen
