About Fabler & Co.

Fabler & Co. is a hospitality and events company headquartered in York, England. They specialise in creating experiential venues and bar concepts, including the well-known THOR’S tipi pop-up bars in cities like York, Leeds, Lincoln, and London, as well as permanent bar operations such as Dusk and House of the Trembling Madness in York. Their focus is on immersive city-centre experiences, combining food, drink, and themed environments for seasonal events and festivals.

A card charge from “SQ *FABLER & CO.” is typically associated with a purchase made at one of their bars, pop-up venues (such as a THOR’S tipi bar), or an event they operate, often processed via Square’s point-of-sale system. This can include bar tabs, food and drink purchases, tickets or packages tied to special events, or spending at a Fabler-operated Christmas market or seasonal attraction. In some cases, a small temporary authorization may appear when a card is opened for a bar tab and then be adjusted to the final amount when the tab is closed.

If you have questions about a Fabler & Co. charge, first check any email receipts from the venue, as Square often emails receipts when you provide an address at the point of sale. Comparing the transaction date, time, and location with when you visited a THOR’S tipi bar, a Fabler-run Christmas market, or one of their bars can help confirm the charge. For further clarification, you can contact Fabler & Co. via their website or by reaching out directly to the specific venue you visited; if the transaction still looks unfamiliar, your bank can help dispute the charge and may reach out to the merchant for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a charge from “SQ *FABLER & CO.” on my card mean?

A charge shown as “SQ *FABLER & CO.” usually means you made a purchase at a Fabler & Co. operated venue—such as a THOR’S tipi bar, one of their York bars, or a seasonal market or event they run—with the payment processed through Square’s card terminals.

Why was my Fabler & Co. bar tab amount different from the initial charge I saw?

When you open a bar tab at a Fabler & Co. venue, an initial authorization hold may be placed for a round amount (for example £20–£50). After you close your tab, this hold is replaced by the final amount reflecting your actual food and drink purchases plus any gratuity you added, and the earlier pending amount should disappear.

Can Fabler & Co. charges be recurring or subscription-based?

Fabler & Co. charges are typically one‑off payments related to hospitality—bar spends, food, or event tickets—rather than subscriptions. If you are seeing what looks like a recurring charge, review the dates and amounts carefully; it is more likely multiple separate visits or event bookings than an automatic subscription.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Fabler & Co. purchase?

If you entered an email or mobile number at the time of payment, Square may have sent you a digital receipt automatically. You can also contact the specific Fabler & Co. venue (for example, the THOR’S tipi or bar you visited) with the transaction date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card so they can look up and reissue a receipt where possible.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Fabler & Co. charge?

To request a refund, reach out directly to the Fabler & Co. venue where you were charged, explaining the issue and providing transaction details from your statement. If you cannot resolve it with the venue, contact your bank or card issuer to initiate a dispute; they may contact Fabler & Co. or Square on your behalf for further investigation.

Is it normal to see a small temporary Fabler & Co. charge that later disappears?

Yes. Small temporary authorizations can occur when your card is first run at a Fabler & Co. bar or event (for example when opening a tab or verifying the card). These authorizations are not final sales and should drop off your account automatically within a few days, leaving only the completed transaction, if any.

How can I confirm which Fabler & Co. venue I was charged at?

Check the date, time, and city on your statement against when you visited a THOR’S tipi bar, Christmas market, or one of Fabler & Co.’s York bars around that time. You can then contact that specific venue via details on fabler.co.uk and provide your transaction information so staff can confirm the charge.

How can I contact Fabler & Co. about a payment issue?

You can start at fabler.co.uk, which provides contact information and links to their venues. For transaction-specific questions, it’s usually fastest to contact the actual venue where the payment occurred (listed on marketing or event materials) with your statement details so they can look up the payment in their Square system.
