Captain Melville

Captain Melville is a heritage-listed pub and bar located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, housed in one of the city’s oldest surviving hospitality buildings. The venue offers a wide range of beers on tap, wines, classic and signature cocktails, and a casual dining menu that typically includes modern pub food and share plates. In addition to walk-in bar service, Captain Melville often caters to group bookings, functions, and events, making it popular for after‑work drinks, celebrations, and private gatherings in a historic setting.

A Captain Melville charge on your bank or card statement usually comes from in‑venue purchases such as drinks, meals, bar snacks, or a function tab. Charges can appear as a one‑time transaction for a single visit, or as a larger amount if you kept an open tab, paid for a group, or were the nominated card for a function or event booking. Some banks may show a preauthorization amount (a temporary hold) when you open a bar tab, which later adjusts to the final bill. If you visited the venue recently with friends or colleagues, it’s also possible your card was used as the main tab and others reimbursed you in cash or bank transfer.

If you’re unsure about a Captain Melville charge, first check recent receipts, bank notifications, or calendar entries for nights out, dinners, or events in Melbourne. Review any email confirmations if you made a function or group booking through their website, as deposits or minimum spends may be charged in advance or on the event date. To resolve questions, you can contact the venue directly using the details on captainmelville.com.au or call during business hours with the date, approximate time, and amount of the charge so staff can look up the transaction. Common billing issues—such as splitting bills, duplicate taps, or confusion over a group tab—are usually resolved by the venue providing a copy of the itemised receipt or EFTPOS record and, where appropriate, processing an adjustment or refund through their payment terminal or bank.
