About Abattoir Blues

Abattoir Blues is a fully licensed, family-run café, restaurant and bar located in Sydney Olympic Park, NSW. Set in a heritage-listed former abattoir building, it’s known for specialty coffee, creative brunch dishes, handmade pasta, craft beers and a curated wine list. The venue serves locals, office workers and event-goers heading to nearby stadiums and arenas, and offers dine‑in, bar service and venue hire for functions and group bookings.

A charge from “Abattoir Blues” (or a similar descriptor such as “ABATTOIR BLUES SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK” or “ABATTOIR BLUES RESTAURANT”) will usually appear on your statement after you’ve paid for food, drinks or a function booking at the venue. This may include sit‑down café meals, bar tabs, pre‑event dining packages, takeaway orders processed through their POS, or deposits for group bookings. In some cases you may see an initial pre‑authorisation hold for a bar tab or booking deposit, with the final amount captured later, or separate charges if you settled multiple checks or left tips.

If you don’t immediately recognise the charge, first think back to any recent visits to Sydney Olympic Park for events, concerts or sports, and ask family members on your card account if they dined there. Check your email and SMS for booking confirmations or receipts from Abattoir Blues or their payment provider. To resolve questions, you can contact the venue using the phone number or contact form listed at abattoirblues.com.au with your visit date, approximate time, and last four digits of the card; they can usually look up the receipt and explain the charge, correct errors, or re‑send tax invoices if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Abattoir Blues on my card when I only went to an event at Sydney Olympic Park?

Abattoir Blues is located within Sydney Olympic Park and is a popular spot for pre‑ and post‑event food and drinks. If you attended a concert, game or show nearby, you or someone in your group may have settled a bill, opened a bar tab, or purchased takeaway using your card. Check with anyone who had access to your card that day, as group hosts often pay on a single card and settle up privately later.

Can Abattoir Blues place a pre-authorisation hold or pending charge on my card?

Yes. Abattoir Blues may place a temporary pre‑authorisation on your card when you open a bar tab, secure a booking, or leave your card with the bar. This hold checks that funds are available and can differ slightly from the final amount. The hold should automatically drop off within a few business days once the final transaction is processed; you’ll then only be charged the actual bill plus any tip you added.

Why is my Abattoir Blues charge higher than the printed bill amount?

If the charge is slightly higher, it may include a tip or surcharge that was added when you entered your PIN or signed, such as a weekend or public‑holiday surcharge that appears on the EFTPOS terminal but not in the initial menu price. For large groups, a pre‑agreed service charge may also be added. Compare the amount on your bank statement with your final EFTPOS receipt; if they don’t match and you believe there’s an error, contact the venue with the transaction date and time so they can investigate.

How can I get a copy of my tax invoice or receipt from Abattoir Blues?

If you paid by card, Abattoir Blues’ POS system will have a record of your transaction, which can usually be retrieved by date, time, and the last four digits of your card. Visit or call the venue using the contact details on abattoirblues.com.au and provide as much detail as possible about your visit (booking name, table number, or event time). They can reissue a tax invoice via email for business or personal records, subject to locating the matching transaction.

How do I dispute or query a charge from Abattoir Blues?

Start by contacting Abattoir Blues directly, as most issues (duplicate charges, incorrect amounts, or confusion about bar tabs) can be resolved quickly by the venue. Have your statement handy, along with the transaction date, exact amount, and the name the booking may have been under. If the venue confirms the charge is in error but cannot reverse it on the spot, ask about a refund or adjustment, and keep written confirmation in case you need to follow up with your bank.

Does Abattoir Blues offer deposits or set menus for group bookings, and how do these appear on my statement?

For larger groups or event‑day bookings, Abattoir Blues may require a deposit or prepayment for set menus or function packages. These payments are processed like regular card transactions and will show as a separate charge from any additional food or drinks you order on the day. If you see two Abattoir Blues charges close together—one earlier (deposit) and one on the event date (final bill)—they likely correspond to these separate payments.

Can I get a refund or adjustment from Abattoir Blues if I was charged incorrectly?

If you were accidentally overcharged, charged twice, or a bar tab wasn’t closed correctly, Abattoir Blues can usually process a partial or full refund back to the original payment method once they verify the error. Contact them promptly with your receipt or statement screenshot so they can locate the transaction. Refunds may take a few business days to appear on your account, depending on your bank’s processing times.
