We were inspired by Infatuation to give Best Intention's cheeseburger a try so we came in for an…read moreearly lunch...the decor is like stepping into a museum as you see a lot of cool things from decades ago. Out bartender and server was very friendly and cool, and she shared that this was a family effort, to create this cool vibe for cocktails, beers, burgers, etc... We sat at the bahr and they do have a large outside seating area out back...the smash cheeseburger came out of its bag nice and hot and the cheese, the beef, onions and dressing went very well together!! We also gave the steak sandwich a try and between the two, I suggest sticking with the Cheeseburger, just get two next time.... I'd like to come back for a bier or two and those cheeseburgers!! Those are my intentions :)

My new fav bar in Chicago. Amazing vibes, cool bartenders, great price on food and awesome space…read more The past two times I visited Chicago, I've had to stop by. Nothing beats the six dollar burger. The bar area and patio are great places to lounge and meet new people. They have an area in between that to play darts, also a great conversation starter. Noise level is it too bad, can easily have a conversation here. Overall, just a great bar for a casual, good time

Order at the bar and sit where you want. Cocktails are average price for Chicago. Parking is hit/miss if you drive, be prepared to look around a bit. Definitely worth a visit :)

I feel bad if anyone lives in the units above the establishment. Great rotating happy hour items keep things interesting. Atmosphere is very laid back and casual classy vibe. I'd gladly be back but I'd look at the happy hour menu first. Happy hour does seem to last all day? No specificities on their menu. Street parking was limited. Only drinks, no food. Good spot to start a date or end a date because the interior is open until 2 am. Patio closes around 10

They have a patio on the side which seems to be a very nice place to have an outside event/gathering with family and friends. I have only had the pleasure of partying upstairs with friends. Had a great time with friends where they had their own DJ and bartender. I read some of the less than good reviews and I am sorry they had a bad experience. I am not saying they didn't have a bad experience but I am glad I didn't experience any of what they did. This is a nice place to have a little gathering with friends or family.

The host Nina was very friendly and attentive which was nice!! Nina was so sweet and all her recommendations were very helpful and good!! For starters I got the arugula shrimp salad but you do have the option to add beef as well! Oh this salad is so fresh and delicious the dressing was the key it was definitely balsamic and a smoky like favor that I was loving!! The entree was lamb chops with mashed potatoes ohhhh it was literally too pretty to eat lol but it was a nice portion not too much but enough to get you full! The sauce was another favorite and I had to ask for more as I'm a dipper it was very rich and flavorful! The lamb chops were medium well - so it was cooked to perfection!! Now can we talk about the drinks! Again based on Nina's recommendation I got the pink coco (2) and the upstate vodka fresh and I loved them all!! Overall the meals were great-reasonably menu with lots of option for beef, pasta, chicken, salad and sea food! They even had a few vegan options! Their prices in my opinion were reasonable for this meal of summed up to about $85 with taxes but did have 3 drinks and salad w entree! Guys it's such a hidden gem in my opinion as it's nestled close to a few restaurants, but I absolutely loved everything and recommend coming here for a dinner date, or even lunch!! I'll def will be back!!

I have gotten bourbon here, they do not have Dickle if you're looking, but they have a nice selection. For beer they have a lot of local options on draft.

Made us feel uncomfortable, so we left. Fast forward to a couple nights ago . We were in the area and gave it another chance. Couldn't help to notice that all hip hop, rap, Latin music are completely blocked off. Politely asked the bartender what was up with that? He seemed very uncomfortable with my question and gave us a very sarcastic response. "Well, I guess that's a racist juke box." We immediately felt the bad energy. We proceed to finish our beers and play a jazz song by a black female singer. Immediately the bartender and some older biker looking dudes next to us start talking smack about the song. They asked if we put the song on? We said yes, and tell us to read the room. So I respond in a very sarcastic tone. "oh, you want us to read the room, would you like us to play some Toby Keith or Kid rock for you?" They smirked and had no response. I strongly believe the place is owned and operated by white supremacist maga brothren's. I would strongly encourage people In the neighborhood to stop supporting this business.
