Popworld - Chelmsford Nightclub

7 Springfield Rd, Chelmsford CM2 6JE

About This Pub

You know, chatting about Popworld in Chelmsford, it's got that cheeky, fun energy that's perfect for a night of dancing to all the pop hits you love, paired with some cracking cocktails that won't break the bank. The events lineup is spot on too, with things like bottomless brunches and VIP options that add a bit of sparkle to your evening. But honestly, I've got to mention the downsides – there are some worrying stories about the atmosphere feeling unsafe, particularly for women, with tales of harassment and staff not stepping up when needed. It's a shame because the place has potential, but you'd want to keep your wits about you and maybe go with a solid group of mates. Overall, it's worth considering if you're up for a good time, but don't ignore those red flags for a balanced night out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing with cheesy pop tunes that get everyone up and dancing – it's a proper fun night out with like-minded folks.
They've got a fantastic range of cocktails and drinks deals, like 50% off on Saturdays, which makes it wallet-friendly for a good time.
The staff can be really welcoming; I've heard great things about the bar team, with one bartender standing out for their friendly service and attention to detail.
There are loads of events on offer, from bottomless brunches to themed parties, plus VIP booths that make you feel special without the hassle of queues.

Cons

There are some serious safety concerns, especially for women, with reports of a toxic environment and issues like harassment that aren't handled well by the staff.
The security and DJs have been described as dismissive when problems are raised, which really puts a dampener on the night.
It's only open a couple of days a week, which limits your options if you're looking for a spontaneous outing.
Some reviews seem a bit off, with suspicious praise for specific individuals, making you wonder about the authenticity of the hype.

My advice to women would be to avoid this place like the plague. This is a male dominated environment, which I found to be extremely sexist, misogynyistic, and an overall toxic environment for women to be in. The dj and security staff are all very dismissive of any issues raised, and security staff seem to lack sufficient training on how to respond to boundaries and concerns. I am a woman in my late 30s, and would have serious cencerns about young women attending this establishment.

decent place for a drink. cheesy fun music and friendly crowd. browsing the reviews though it's really weird how there are so many reviews from indian accounts giving 5 stars and singling out "prarthak" for praise specifically. a little sussy

This venue feels completely unsafe for women. The atmosphere is dominated by men who don’t respect boundaries, and reports of harassment and spiking are alarmingly common. The staff, especially security, seem dismissive and unbothered by these issues, which is unacceptable- even after reporting events they said they can’t do anything about it. The lack of care or action from staff makes it clear they don’t prioritise women’s safety. Avoid this place if you want a safe night out!

I recently visited the restaurant and had an exceptional experience, thanks to their amazing bartender. From the moment I sat down at the bar, the bartender, Prarthak greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Their friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly stood out.

I had my hen party night out here organized by my bridesmaid and it honestly was THE best fun. She reserved a VIP booth for us which came with immediate access (no queuing) our booth in a VIP area with table service and loads of drinks!! We came and went between our booth and the dance floor all night and honestly had an absolute blast. Our package included shots, cocktails and bubbles served with style. The DJ was immense and the tunes were banging. Cannot recommend this place enough for an amazing party night out. Staff we interacted with were so so friendly and welcoming too. 5 stars ⭐️
