This historic and distinctive former church and enduring local landmark on Washington Street had been repurposed as the Chocolate Church Arts Center and was no longer used as a Congregationalist house of worship. The building was locked up tight on the mid-winter day I saw it while on a photo tour of Bath. It seems it was called “Chocolate” because... More

I have been to the Chocolate Church on numerous occasions for musical performances. Despite the age of the facility, the accoustics are really good and performers seem to enjoy coming there. It is a small, intimate environment and because of its size it really doesn't matter where your seat is actually located, you will always have a clear view of... More

Great acoustics, and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. The only reason why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of parking. There is no parking lot. You have to just drive around and park on the streets. The entertainment offered is varied and fabulous!

We have gone to concerts here over the years. It is a lovely venue and they get some outstanding performers. Check it out when you visit Maine and see if the box office has anything to interest you.

While I did not visit inside the church or attend events, I wanted to alert travelers to a nice walking tour of the neighborhood. This church is along that walking tour. Visit the city of Bath website to learn more under "walking tour". If you have an hour & enjoy architecture and a little history, you will enjoy a leisure... More

Well, the concert was a Rock music retrospective and the was GREAT. The building has no A/C and we only made it to 1970. Looks like they are making great progress into turning this property into a cultural center..big events the the summer ???
