The Bar of Chocolate on Wharf Street "is unlike any other I've been to in Maine," proclaims Emma Bouthillette in today's Bar Guide for The Portland Press Herald. Yes, there is a full bar and also desserts, plus sweet, girly martinis that combine the two. Bouthillette is generally "not a fan" of those sorts of drinks. "I am, however, a fan of this Irish Coffee martini. The Kahlua and espresso make for a very dark cocktail that is thick and slightly creamy." [PPH]
