Bar Lourinhã

Bar Lourinhã is a small, Mediterranean and Iberian-inspired bar and restaurant located in central Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It’s known for its Spanish-style tapas and sharing plates, seasonal produce-driven menu, and an extensive list of wines, sherries, vermouths, and cocktails. Guests typically visit for dine‑in experiences, after‑work drinks, date nights, and small group gatherings. Bookings and general venue information are managed via their official website at barlourinha.com.au.

A charge from Bar Lourinhã will usually relate to food and drink consumed on the premises, takeaway ordered directly from the venue, or a payment linked to a reservation or group booking. You might see a single one‑time charge for your meal, a pre‑authorization hold placed when you open a bar tab, or a deposit for a special event or large group booking that’s later applied to your final bill. If you used a digital wallet, contactless payment, or third‑party booking platform, the descriptor on your statement may still show as “BAR LOURINHA” (sometimes abbreviated) along with the Melbourne location.

To verify this charge, start by checking receipts or email confirmations from the date shown on your statement and compare the total with what appears as “Bar Lourinhã” (or a similar abbreviation). If you shared a bill, opened a tab, or attended a group event, confirm with others who may have used your card. For questions about a specific transaction, contact the venue directly using the phone number or contact form listed on barlourinha.com.au, providing the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card so they can look it up. Common issues—like seeing both a pre‑authorization and a final charge, or not recognizing a split bill—are usually resolved by the bar’s staff explaining the bill breakdown or your bank releasing any temporary holds.
