Customer Review Summary
Music leads the praise at this Norwich club, with reviewers pointing to 90s and 00s tracks, classic pop and rap tunes, and a DJ described as incredible and good. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, warmly welcoming and some of the best one reviewer has met. One pair was served as soon as they reached the bar, and another was seen in promptly at the door after buying a discount deal online. The disco floor and party poppers that shoot down unexpectedly feed an atmosphere reviewers call electric and fantastic. Drinks also get mentions, including a vodka with Coca-Cola and lovely cocktails, with one reviewer finding prices reasonable and another calling them a bit expensive. Hen nights and birthdays feature among the occasions. The main complaint comes from an over 30s daytime event, where the venue was hot and staff declined to switch on the air con, saying it started at 6pm. One hen weekend visitor closes on a bouncer who helped with their claustrophobia on both nights.

“I cannot believe the sheer number of perverts popworld allows into their club in Norwich. My entire friend group (both male and female) felt incredibly uncomfortable and unsafe due to the number of middle aged men lined up against the walls of the dance floor, simply standing and staring at our female friends and others women in the club. Good DJ but absolutely abhorrent vibes from the clientele that popworld entertains. Something needs to change to make this a safe space.”
