Max Brenner Chocolate Bar Opens in D.C. Metro Area

Washington metro area chocolate lovers can continue their romance with the sweet treat with the opening of a Max Brenner Chocolate Bar at the lifestyle center of Bethesda Row in Bethesda, Md. 

Known as a destination for chocolate, Max Brenner promises a unique experience where guests can see, smell, taste and touch chocolate in ways they have only imagined. The Bethesda location will feature signature menu items ranging from thick hot chocolate and Choctails to creamy fondues, pearl sugar waffles, chocolate pizzas and chocolate-filled syringes.

“Bethesda Row, with its uncommon combination of retail, entertainment and dining options, is the ideal location for Max Brenner’s Chocolate Bar,” said Sam Borgese, CEO, Max Brenner International. “We look forward to introducing residents of Bethesda to our chocolate culture.”

The Chocolate Bar’s interior was designed to envelop guests in the Max Brenner experience: Vats of swirling chocolate greet people as they enter, while chocolate pipes run the length of the ceiling and warm brown tones evoke a chocolate mood.

The location also incorporates a retail area where guests can purchase gift sets and other chocolate treats, including the company’s bonbons, caramelized pecans, chocolate slabs and tablets, as well as its full line of ceramic utensils.

Headquartered in New York, Max Brenner operates four Chocolate Bar restaurants in Boston, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and New York, as well as more than 40 Chocolate Bars internationally.
