I hadn't been back here in years after moving away. And love the cocktails just as much as before. The wondermint malts are my favorite summer drink.

This place offers the most quintessential neighborhood bar feel with more than a few trucks up it's sleeve. From the best smash burger you will ever have in your life (only $6), to Angostura shots, to a booze filled mint green shake you cannot finish, this bar has it all. The staff are happy and have a good vibe between each other which made me feel happy to be there. The place was absolutely packed but no one was rude or pushy. Just a great vibe over all with great drinks and great food. Definitely recommend.

We ended up here because the other bar we were trying to get to was closed. It was a nice hangout. Really liked the drinks and the staff was friendly. It got a little crowded as the Friday night went along and there weren't that many places to sit up front, but that's kind of the nature of the place. I really liked the old fashioned with rye that was made. The scotch was nice and smokey. Canned beers was good too. Parking in the area may be a little difficult, but we took a ride share to the area and walked around. I wouldn't mind coming back but maybe not in a Friday when it was getting crowded.

Drinks were great, but at the end of the night I was finishing my drink before leaving the bar and the owner literally took the drink out of my hand. I feel that it was extremely rude. He said it was "illegal" for me to have the drink even though I only had a few sips left. I felt really uncomfortable as he physically removed the drink from my hand, even though there were multiple people in the bar still hanging out and drinking. Not only did this incident happen, but at the same time his gf that he was with spilt her entire drink on me. I did not receive an apology, and the owner disregarded the fact that other people in the bar were still drinking. I will not return based on this treatment alone.
my favorite neighborhood bar, even though a lot of poeple come from different areas because it’s such a fun time! they’re dessert is amazing and the employees are very nice and laid back.

We went there last night around 7pm and it was packed! The cocktails were really interesting - I tried The Thief and Coconutz. They've also got angostura bitters shots for $5. Service was fast, except for our food, which we had to follow-up on with our bartender after we saw people who ordered after us get there food. From there, another bartender named Chris came around to explain that the food was never put in, and honestly, I respect the truthfulness. People make mistakes. Our food came out super fast after that - cuppa shrimp and a cheeseburger - and they were delicious. We're definitely coming back. And bringing friends! They would definitely dig Best Intentions ambiance.

Stumbled upon this place. Cool drinks. Easy vibe. Payphone. Jukebox. Recommend if you're in the area.

This place is fantastic. The drinks are that special combination of really unique and actually delicious (unlike most other places that just land the unique part but don't actually make a tasty drink). Also everything was very affordable, way cheaper than counterpart bars you'd find in west loop or river north, but just as high quality (if not higher). There was a slight mixup with my order, but the staff was very friendly and apologetic, and they comped the issue without prompting. Overall I was very impressed, and this bar definitely makes the list of places to take out of town guests.
