About us
Adelaide's best burger & booze bar!
The Taxpayer started as a memory for a lost friend, a best mate and a sad day. Owners Frank and Kristian determined that all they did in their respective businesses was work and never saw their mates decided they would buy a bar, a hobby and a good time for them and their mates. Over 8 months of trial and error they decided it was time to put all that learning into play and start treating the place as a business and not a playground.
The Taxpayer was reinvented as the Taxpayer Burger and Booze Bar. It’s a bar that does good food with class and care along side some great drinks.
Situated in the heart of Adelaide opposite the redeveloped Victoria Sq between Franklin St and Grote St. If you miss the 30 something outdoor seats with views of Vic Square then a massive lit sign above the double doors will give away its location.
Inside you will find a balance of concrete, recycled timber, metal and more…. Its cool but not too much. Its casual but sophisticated. And its simple as the tag line suggests, its burgers and booze. Oh and music with live entertainment and DJ’s on Friday and Saturday nights until late.
There are teasers on the menu with plenty to share and lots of burgers all named after celebrity Tax Evaders, sides include French fries three ways, chips and gravy and even a dessert burger.
And what to drink with your burger? A glass of French for $15, a New Zealand Pinot or an Adelaide Hills Sav Blanc? Or simply a crafty schooner or two from Thunder Road Brewery - Australia’s Best Medium Size Brewery.
And, yes, there are cocktails, a list of them from classics to unusual and they are good, in fact bloody good and the music, well that pumps along too. The waiters and bar staff are relaxed and know their stuff dressed in all ninja black outfits with denim and leather aprons so you can spot them in the crowed.
Do…consider ordering a burger and some roasted jalapeno poppers
Don’t… come here if you’re on a diet or... show more want a romantic quiet table.
Dish…. The Sophia Lauren is a thing of beauty and the Wesley Snipes will blow your mind
Vibe…. All sorts, with a few hipsters, local oldies, young executives and food tourists dropping by.

Sarah F. asked:Hey hospo fam! I'm looking for a place either in the CBD or close to have my 21st in August, because being from the country originally I don't know many places! Preferably somewhere with an outside area, not too expensive and good for around 50 people. Let me know! :)Alex K. replied:https://www.facebook.com/401577873306415 The Taxpayer would be perfect

Ebba L. asked:Hey guys!! Looking for some suggestions. Wanting a funky city (surrounding areas) bar/pub that I could host going away drinks for a group of around 25 people, without paying a booking charge/minimum spend or paying to hire out an area. I realise we could just walk into a pub but as it will be a Saturday night finding seating can be difficult. Know of anywhere where we could reserve some seats/tables and wouldn't be charged?
