"Best Intentions ended its three-year hiatus quietly, simply writing “we back” on a teeny note posted outside their building. And this Logan Square dive bar reopened in full force (and hopefully they never leave us again). No barstool stays empty for long, and the space is filled with people happy to stand while funk and soul music blasts through the speakers. Unlike most dives, the cocktails are fantastic but still keep the dive bar price point (around $10). Plus, they have a great patio and their $6 smashburger is the ideal bar snack—you can even order a baker’s dozen for $72." - adrian kane, john ringor
