Best Intentions calls itself plainly what it is: a fancy cocktail bar in Logan Square that happens to serve food too. Set on West Armitage Avenue, the room is built around the bar program first, with dinner functioning as a companion to the drinks rather than the main event.
That cocktail program has drawn national notice. The James Beard Foundation named Best Intentions a semifinalist for Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service in both 2025 and 2026.
