The Taxpayer

An idea forged from the tragic and unexpected passing of one of our best friends. We have brought together some of the old, some of the new and a little of the forgotten. We realised that we spent so much time being busy and never spent enough time together as friends, so we created the Taxpayer, a place where you can catch up with friends, do business, have a laugh and get a little messy if you want to - this is just the way Shaun would of wanted it. Lunch is served from 12:00pm to 2:30pm Tuesday to Friday Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights come alive with live entertainment, DJ's, bar atmosphere, seriously awesome cocktails and seriously good street food. The opening team is made up of industry experts that some would call legends and others dinosaurs.. The proof will be in the outcome. We think our first month has been pretty good and thank you all for the amazing feedback. From the depths of retirement, Kristian Livolsi Co-founder, Head Chef and former industry rockstar. Frank Vounasis Co-founder, property developer, custom shop fitter and GM. This guy is a legend and new to the game, but his ability to engage with an audience and make you feel at home will carve names into our seats. Owen Colin Venue Manager, all round champion and super star mixologist and former brand ambassador with sublime passion, creativity and knowledge in the booze department, heads up all things beverage and people. Michael Harrison, the ice cream man known by his friends for liking all sorts of flavours, takes control of the wine list, having won more awards in this field than most and having a palate and nose for almost anything means he will take you on a journey almost every time. Ian Callahan from Bar 9 and Five Senses Coffee is consulting in all areas coffee and tea bringing his one of a kind passion, knowledge and dedication to the table for Victoria Sq to experience. Filip with an F needs no introduction, will be our resident consultant on all things entertainment, music and promo. He brings uber chic style and coolness to the team although Owen may disagree... A real ladies man! The rest of the team is building fast and if you wont to join the team let us know, we are always in need of seriously cool peeps with passion, style and knowledge. At the Taxpayer we forget about our everyday obligations and contribute to one another by sharing, laughing and having a great time.
