About Bendigo Hotel

Bendigo Hotel (often called “The Bendi”) is a long‑running Collingwood pub and live music institution at 125 Johnston Street, now home to independent brewer The Mill Brewery. The venue combines a front‑bar taproom pouring Mill Brewery beers and guest taps, a classic pub kitchen with weekly food specials (such as $18 burger night, $25 steak night and $20 schnitzel Sundays), a pool room and lounge, and a large beer garden. It’s known for its late trading hours (to 3am on weekends), dog‑friendly spaces, and a bandroom that regularly hosts local and touring acts across rock, punk, metal and more.

A Bendigo Hotel charge on your bank statement usually relates to a bar or food tab, an in‑venue card payment, or a ticket purchase for a live show. Ticketing for most gigs is handled via Oztix, so you might instead see Oztix or a similar ticketing provider as the merchant name, even though the event is at Bendigo Hotel. Other common scenarios include pre‑authorisation holds when you open a bar tab, deposits or minimum‑spend payments for private functions, and merch or takeaway beer purchases connected to The Mill Brewery at the Bendigo site. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/functions?utm_source=openai))

To verify a charge, start by matching the date and amount with your visit or an event you attended, checking confirmation emails from Oztix or Bendigo Hotel for bar, food, or ticket receipts. If you still have questions, you can contact the venue directly by email at vm@bendigohotel.com.au or bookings@bendigohotel.com.au, or by phone on +61 401 717 614 during trading hours (Wed–Thu 4pm–12am, Fri 12pm–1am, Sat 12pm–3am, Sun 12pm–11pm). For ticket‑specific issues, Oztix handles customer support for most events; for tabs, function payments, or on‑premise card charges, Bendigo Hotel management can look up transactions if you provide your name, card type, approximate amount, and date of visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Bendigo Hotel payments commonly appear on bank statements?

Most Bendigo Hotel charges are for on‑premise purchases such as drinks, meals, and bar tabs, or for live music tickets held in the venue’s bandroom. You might see the charge listed as “BENDIGO HOTEL COLLINGWOOD”, “BENDIGO HOTEL VIC”, or occasionally via a ticketing provider such as Oztix when you’ve bought gig tickets. Function deposits and pre‑paid catering for private events can also appear as Bendigo Hotel transactions. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/functions?utm_source=openai))

Why is my Bendigo Hotel charge a different name, like Oztix or a ticketing company?

Bendigo Hotel uses third‑party ticketing (commonly Oztix) for many shows in its main bandroom and upstairs spaces, so the payment for your ticket may be processed under the ticketing company’s name rather than the venue itself. In these cases your email receipt and ticket confirmation will mention Bendigo Hotel as the event location, even though the card descriptor lists Oztix or a similar provider. Check your email for ticket confirmations around the date of the charge to confirm this. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/faqs?utm_source=openai))

Can Bendigo Hotel place an authorization hold or tab pre‑authorisation on my card?

Yes. Like many pubs, the venue may temporarily pre‑authorize your card when you open a bar tab or provide a card against a function booking; this can appear as a pending Bendigo Hotel amount that later adjusts to the final spend. Small differences between the pre‑authorised and final posted amount can occur if you add extra drinks or food, or if the hold is reversed and the final transaction is processed separately. If a pending hold doesn’t drop off within a few business days, contact the venue with your card details and visit date so they can investigate. (General industry practice; specific hold amounts can vary.)

How do I dispute or query a Bendigo Hotel charge I don’t recognize?

First, check whether you or someone on your account attended Bendigo Hotel, The Mill Brewery at the Bendigo site, or a gig ticketed through Oztix on or near the transaction date. If you still don’t recognize it, email vm@bendigohotel.com.au or bookings@bendigohotel.com.au with the last four digits of your card, transaction date, and amount so staff can look up the payment. If it turns out not to be from the venue (for example, a card compromise), your bank can help you raise a chargeback or fraud claim. ([themillbrewery.com.au](https://themillbrewery.com.au/pages/contact?utm_source=openai))

Does Bendigo Hotel have subscriptions or recurring charges?

No, Bendigo Hotel operates as a pub, brewery taproom, and live music venue, and does not sell digital subscriptions or memberships that bill monthly in the way streaming or software services do. Any repeat charges you see will usually be separate visits, multiple tickets for different shows, or instalments related to a function booking that you’ve agreed to in advance. If you see a recurring pattern you don’t recognize, contact the venue and your bank to confirm. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/?utm_source=openai))

What are typical spend amounts at Bendigo Hotel and how can I match them to my visit?

Typical in‑venue spends range from a single round of drinks or a meal (often around AUD $20–$60) through to larger tabs or function bills that can be significantly higher, depending on your group size and food/drink choices. Weekly specials like $18 burgers, $25 steaks and $20 schnitzels can help you line up the amount and day (e.g., an $18–$30 charge on a Wednesday might match burger night plus a drink). Compare your charge to your bar receipts, EFTPOS slips, and any SMS or email confirmations you received at the time. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/menu?utm_source=openai))

How do I book or cancel a function, and what happens to my deposit if plans change?

Functions and private events at Bendigo Hotel (e.g., the upstairs room, beer garden, or bandroom hire) are organized directly with the venue via bookings@bendigohotel.com.au. Deposits or minimum‑spend agreements are usually charged to your card once the booking is confirmed; changes or cancellations are handled case‑by‑case under the terms you agree to in the function info pack, which may include notice periods for refunds or credits. If you cancel or your event changes, contact the bookings team as early as possible to discuss options and any partial refunds. ([bendigohotel.com.au](https://www.bendigohotel.com.au/functions?utm_source=openai))

How can I contact Bendigo Hotel about refunds, incorrect amounts, or missing receipts?

For bar, food, tab, or function‑related charges, the fastest way to reach Bendigo Hotel is via email at vm@bendigohotel.com.au or bookings@bendigohotel.com.au, or by phone on +61 401 717 614 during trading hours (Wed–Thu 4pm–12am, Fri 12pm–1am, Sat 12pm–3am, Sun 12pm–11pm). Provide your full name, best contact details, the last four digits of the card used, transaction date and amount, and any supporting screenshots from your bank. For ticketing‑only issues (like double‑charged tickets or name changes), contact the ticketing provider listed on your ticket confirmation (often Oztix), as they manage those payments and refunds on the venue’s behalf.
