What Daniela S dislikes about Best Intentions:
It’s small and not good for any big meet ups. It lacks space. The drink was really strong (good thing for some). The draw may be this the charm in the warmer weather with the patio space open. View all feedback.
We found ourselves here after discovering that the bar we initially intended to visit was closed. It turned out to be a pleasant spot to hang out. I really enjoyed the drinks, and the staff was very friendly. As the night progressed, it did get a bit crowded, and there weren't many seats available up front, but that's to be expected in a place like this. I especially loved the old fashioned made with rye, and the scotch had a nice smoky flavor. The canned beers were also good. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but we opted for a rideshare and did some exploring on foot. I would definitely consider returning, though perhaps not on a Friday night when it gets busy.

I really wish I could keep this place a secret! Everything is a perfect 10/10. They serve the best mule in the city!

The drinks are classic and all well made, but the real gem is the burger. best intentions burger is griddled with mustard and onions and served with a melty American cheese and fresh onions. It's served in a paper hamburger wrapper inside of a paper bag. It's greasy and delicious. Classic flavors in a sack!
