Bar of Chocolate

The Bar of Chocolate Cafe is a beloved fixture in Portland's Old Port for over two decades, offering a unique blend of artisanal desserts and craft cocktails. Located at 38 Wharf Street, this cozy establishment specializes in sweet martinis like the Chocolate Salted Caramel and Espresso Martini, complemented by decadent made-in-house desserts including chocolate tart with berries, crème brûlée, and peanut butter frosting cake. The intimate, welcoming atmosphere appeals to those seeking an indulgent escape where premium cocktails meet gourmet pastries. Recent ownership transition brought minor renovations while preserving the dive bar charm that keeps patrons returning for sophisticated sweets and carefully crafted drinks.
