No alcohol at The Chocolate Bar
Just like the Gucci rumor I posted about a few days ago, there is another rumor going around that The Chocolate Bar in Marina Crescent was closed down by the ministry because they found chocolate that contained alcohol in them. That is of course not true or else I would have been their #1 customer. The Chocolate Bar at Marina was closed down due to renovations and all their other branches are still open for business.

All that is at the marina branch is a hoarding that clearly states they are closed for renovation. Will supply you with pics if you need proof.

they just want to have a very Nice time with their silly rumors :)

Is it me, or does it seem like all the rumors are only about businesses owned by 3yal alshyookh? :p Wila 7asid mo 6abee3i bil q8!
22. raheel | September 8th, 2009 at 3:03 am
chocolate bar, and alcohol? AHAHAHAHA.
they already use nutella chocolate for their fondue. the chocolate quality is really cheap.
do you think they’d actually spend enough money for alcohol/chocolate?
23. Web Weaver | September 8th, 2009 at 3:40 am
People work hard to build a business and a reputation, and nas fathia tries to destroy it by inexcusable rumors!!! So what if they had booze??? El ma ye6ool el 3angood yegool 7ameth!!! It just pisses me off! I love the Chocolate Bar, and I admire the people who crated it!

as the old song “rumors” from the 80’s goes.. “rumors get started by jealous people” :P u should play it on your blog Mark :)
26. Nina | September 8th, 2009 at 9:57 am
They were passing out flyers for the past month at their other branches that the Marina mall branch will be closed for a while for renovations. I got take-out from Chocolate bar right before ramadan and they gave me one. LOL they went thru such lengths to let their public know well in advance and still rumors came out…
27. Desert Girl | September 8th, 2009 at 11:08 am
I would have been right in line behind you, Mark; Customer #2. Chocolate martini, please. :)
28. jessy | September 8th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Stop making up rumors on chocolate bar, u just hate it because it’s the best!!! It has the best taste of chocolate ever……………….
I am loving it and those stupid rumors could never change that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
29. jeez | September 9th, 2009 at 12:23 am
dear raheel,
suggestion: try the fondue and try nutella at the same time and maybe then your tastebuds will function correctly
30. Yaz | September 9th, 2009 at 1:27 am
I love Choc Bar!
Everything there is just right, the food, music, atmosphere, staff friendliness, their seasonla new additions to the menu, its perfect mashallah.
And vampire, you are, well how can I say this nicely, either lying or delusional, cause it clearly says they are renovating.
Try the red velvet, its the best!
31. toomzie | September 9th, 2009 at 10:01 pm

32. GeordieLass | September 11th, 2009 at 7:10 pm

Here’s the deal. We weren’t shut down for alcohol. Our renovation is just a cover for the brothel we’re building.
