Welcome to The Jolly Taxpayer – Your Local Bar & Grill in Barrhaven, Ottawa

At The Jolly Taxpayer in Barrhaven, Ottawa, we believe great food and good company are worth every penny—even if it feels like you’re getting taxed twice. Whether you’re here for a cold draught, a cheeky cocktail, or our famously juicy house-made burgers, we serve it all with a side of humor. Catch the game on one of our 14 TVs, chill on the patio, and dig into wings smothered in house-made sauces that are practically a deductible. Come for the eats, stay for the laughs—filing never tasted so good.

Our menu was crafted with care by our executive chef who has worked in some of the finest restaurants in Canada. Our aim is to bring you a fine-dining experience in a casual space you can enjoy with friends and family, without the fine-dining cost.
