Voodoo Keller Bar — Bar in Chelmsford

You can find Voodoo Keller Bar under the old magistrate's court on New Street in Chelmsford. It’s set in former holding cells now transformed into a moody cellar bar with craft beer and live music. Locals use it for weekend drinks or small private events, taking advantage of late opening until 00:30 on Fridays and Saturdays. The venue is known for being one of the city's most unique spots for those looking for something different in Chelmsford.

Voodoo Keller Bar sits in the original basement cells of the old magistrate’s court, built as a utilitarian space with historic features still visible today, low ceilings, dark walls, and candlelit tables. These details shape its gothic atmosphere and contribute to how visitors experience it, especially during busy times when noise levels and crowd density are high. Dim lighting adds to the immersive vibe, making it feel like you’re in a hidden corner of Chelmsford’s past. The space supports private events through back bar rental.

Voodoo Keller Bar serves cask ales from Chelmsford Brew Co and a range of house cocktails, with up to four rotating cask ales and eight keg taps. It's popular on weekends for socialising or hosting small groups via the back bar rental option. The venue is open late, until 00:30 on Fridays and Saturdays, and attracts curious, adventurous types looking for something off the beaten path in Chelmsford. A short drive away from the city centre.
