Chocolate. There might not be anything better for satisfying a sweet tooth. It also comes in handy when you need something to melt on top of ice cream, if you need to bribe a small child into being good and…the list goes on and on. While chocolate does a great job of calming us down, so does a great cocktail. At this spot in Portland you can combine the two for incredible results!

Bar of Chocolate Cafe is located in Portland’s Old Port neighborhood, tucked away on a cobblestone street. In fact, if you weren’t looking for it you just might miss it. But, we promise you’ll want to look for it!

It was started by a local bartender who had a love of chocolate. After gaining recognition as a great dessert maker, it was clear that opening a bar and cafe with the same theme was a great idea.

It’s been open since 2005 and with a few changes, it’s kept the doors open to chocolate lovers locally and those from away.

Known as a great martini bar, the drinks here are made in incredible flavors. And, of course, chocolate is a mainstay!

They’re all made with love and expertise and while flavors and offerings have evolved the commitment to chocolate has never wavered.

If you visit for both the martinis AND the desserts, you’ll be in heaven. Ordering both together is highly recommended.
