BAR ORANGE 58c CHAPEL ROAD
Cafe/Bar

 
Bar Orange is sited in one third what used to be the Councils 'Revenue Chambers' directly opposite Worthing Museum. It has seen many uses over the past few years but always seemed to err towards being a cafe of sorts.

Its rebirth as Bar Orange (about 2020) has seen it follow the growing trend of being more of a cafe in the day and a bar in the evenings, a popular cocktail venue with live music, comedy events and yes, karaoke. it currently has four beers on tap and innumerable spirits!

It also has a little secret, there's a hidden garden out the back, small but cosy.

 
   
The Revenue building is deceptive in itself, being far deeper than it is wide with the open courtyard at the rear. We're unable to determine when it was originally built but it first saw service, as the name implies, as Her Majesties inspector of Taxes, divided up between filing, PAYE, post war Tax Credits and Schedule D and offices for the Tax Inspectors. Thanks to Paul Burtenshaw who used to work there.
