About This Pub

Ah, Bar & Beyond Chelmsford—it's one of those places that really gets the heart racing with its massive space in a stunning listed building, ideal for letting your hair down on a Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday night. I have to say, the staff are absolute gems; stories of them tracking down lost phones and sorting things out with a smile make it feel like they genuinely care about your experience. Plus, with that 2-4-1 cocktails offer and a mix of music that'll have you on the dance floor all night, it's a top pick for celebrations or just a cheeky midweek boost. On the flip side, though, I've heard some worrying tales about security being a bit heavy-handed, which isn't fair and could make anyone feel unwelcome. Then there's the cocktails themselves—apparently, they're not always hitting the mark, and the place can be freezing, which takes the edge off the party vibe. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're up for a good time, but go in with your eyes open and maybe check the dress code first; it's got that classic bar charm with a few bumps along the way, so you'll want to weigh it up against what you're after for the night.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The customer service is top-notch; they've got staff who go the extra mile, like helping folks find lost items and making sure everyone has a good time.
It's a brilliant spot for a big night out with friends, boasting a huge capacity in a beautiful listed building, perfect for parties, birthdays, or even corporate dos.
They've got a cracking selection of music—from house and D&B to throwback tunes and R&B—so there's something for every mood.
Don't miss their 2-4-1 cocktails deal, especially on weekdays; it's a wallet-friendly way to enjoy some drinks without breaking the bank.

Cons

There have been some upsetting reports of issues with security, like unfair treatment that leaves a bad taste and isn't what you'd expect from a fun night.
Some folks have said the cocktails aren't up to scratch, tasting off or not as good as they used to be, which is a shame for a bar.
The venue can get uncomfortably cold, and it sounds like things have slipped a bit over the last couple of years, making it less reliable.
Entry might be a hassle for some, with strict dress codes and occasional problems that could put a damper on your plans.

My wife lost her phone inside the venue. We looked everywhere, it was dark and we couldn’t find it. The manger Kyle took the time to locate the phone, contact me and arrange a pick up. Thank you so much

My husband had a great works night out but lost his phone. I messaged B and B Sunday morning and by Monday I'd had a reply to say they had his phone and by Tuesday they'd paid for next day delivery to get it back to us! Absolutely gold standard customer service which is rare these days and a good sign of the calibre of staff working here! Thankyou 😀

These two security is literally showing a racism against me. Because I’m a brown male from India they’re literally asking me a money for a entry, I have already paid an entry ticket and I am chilling inside this old guy and young man took me outside and asked me to pay money to get inside I have already paid an entrance why do I have to pay again when I asked these two guys said it’s a extra fee for other nationals to chill inside. I felt bad for asking them for money why I have to pay again. Please help me out from this situation for anyone else it’s a brown or a black man please I’m begging you don’t disrespect us company… please take a serious action against this persons please 🙏🙏🙏 my kind request please

Freezing cold. My bar at home better stocked. Cocktails taste like ass. Seriously gone downhill in the last 2 years. Ordered 1 round, then left ! Half the seats also gone.
