"Best Intentions originally closed in 2020, but in 2023 this divey Logan Square cocktail bar quietly reopened by simply writing “we back” on a teeny note posted outside their building. Since then, no barstool has stayed empty for long, and the fun space full of knickknacks is always packed with people happy to stand while funk and soul music blasts. Unlike most dives, the cocktails are fantastic, while still keeping dive bar prices (around $10). Plus, they have a nice secluded patio and their $6 smashburger is the ideal bar snack—you can even get a baker’s dozen for $72." - josh barnett, sam faye, john ringor
