If this coffee shop-cum-cocktail joint were a bar of chocolate, it would be more Green & Blacks than Kraft’s Cadbury – judging by the affiliations of its clientele. Bar Chocolate seems to appeal to a right-on, Guardian-reading demographic of ‘creatives’ whose spiritual home is Islington (the location of sibling bar Elk in the Woods). Technicolour, sundae-toned walls & church hall furniture set the scene for themed tipples such as chocolate & raspberry martini & chocolate slurp (a rum & Baileys ice-cream milkshake) – a swift sugar rush for £8. Meanwhile, New York sour (an Añejo highball) strikes a less saccharine note. A dozen wines from £17 keep it real, & a food offer touting breakfast, deli boards, sandwiches, mezze & hearty Hungarian stews keeps the iBook & Kindle crew happy.
