About Fitzroy Social

Fitzroy Social is a popular bar and restaurant located on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The venue is known for its high ceilings, eclectic art, and open, communal layout that suits both casual drinks and larger group gatherings. They serve a wide range of cocktails, tap beers, wines, and spirits alongside casual pub-style food such as share plates, burgers, and bar snacks. Fitzroy Social also caters to private functions, birthdays, work events, and other group bookings, often offering set menus and drinks packages.

A charge from “Fitzroy Social”, “Fitzroy Social Fitzroy AU”, or a similar description may appear on your bank or card statement after you pay for food and drinks at the venue, settle a bar tab, or pay a deposit for a function or group booking. Charges may also come from pre-authorised bar tabs where your card is held behind the bar and the final amount is processed at the end of your visit. In some cases, you might see multiple charges if you ordered in separate transactions, split bills with friends, or if an initial authorization hold is adjusted to reflect your final spend. If you booked an event or function package, you might see a deposit payment followed by a later balance charge.

To verify a Fitzroy Social charge, start by checking the date and amount of the transaction against any visit you made to the venue or any function booking you may have arranged. Review your email for booking confirmations or receipts, especially if you booked online via fitzroysocial.com.au. If you still have questions, contact the venue directly using the contact details or enquiry form on their website and provide the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card so they can look up the payment. Common issues—such as mistaken duplicate charges, bar tab disputes, or queries about function deposits—are usually resolved by contacting their management or bookings team with your receipt or bank statement screenshot for reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have a Fitzroy Social charge on my card if I don’t remember eating there?

Many Fitzroy Social charges come from group events, bar tabs, or split bills. Your card may have been used to open a tab, pay the final group bill, or cover a function deposit for a birthday or work event. Check with friends or colleagues who may have attended an event with you around the transaction date, and review any online bookings or RSVP confirmations you made for events in Fitzroy.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by Fitzroy Social?

Common Fitzroy Social charges range from smaller amounts (around AUD $20–$60) for a couple of drinks and snacks, up to AUD $80–$200 or more for full meals, large rounds of drinks, or shared group tabs. Function deposits and pre-paid packages can be higher, sometimes a few hundred dollars depending on the minimum spend. Exact prices vary based on what you ordered and any agreed package or minimum spend for your booking.

Why do I see two Fitzroy Social charges or an amount that changed after my visit?

Fitzroy Social, like many bars, may place an initial authorization hold on your card when you open a tab. This hold can appear as a pending transaction and may differ slightly from your final bill. Once your tab is closed, the final amount is captured and the original hold is reversed, which can temporarily look like duplicate charges until your bank updates and removes the hold.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or bar tab from Fitzroy Social?

If you didn’t receive or keep your printed receipt, you can request a copy by contacting Fitzroy Social through the contact details on fitzroysocial.com.au. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the amount charged, and the last four digits of your card so staff can locate the sale in their system. They can usually email you a copy or give you a breakdown of the items on your tab.

How can I dispute a Fitzroy Social charge or request a refund?

Contact Fitzroy Social directly first, as most billing issues are resolved quickly at venue level. Reach out via their website contact form or phone number and provide a clear explanation of the issue, along with proof such as your bank statement screenshot and any receipts. If an error is confirmed (for example, an accidental double charge or incorrect tab amount), they can usually process a refund back to your original payment method. If you cannot resolve it with the venue, you may then contact your bank to raise a dispute.

I was charged a function or booking deposit by Fitzroy Social—how does that work?

For larger group bookings and functions, Fitzroy Social often requires a deposit or minimum spend to secure your date and area within the venue. This deposit may appear as a separate charge prior to your event, and then either be deducted from your final bill or retained according to the terms you agreed to at booking. Check your booking confirmation email for specific deposit, cancellation, and refund conditions, as these can vary by event type and size.

Why is there a small or temporary Fitzroy Social charge that later disappeared?

A small or temporary charge—often appearing as ‘pending’—can be an authorization hold placed when a card is tested, such as when opening a bar tab or confirming card details for a booking. This is not a final charge and usually drops off your statement within a few business days, depending on your bank. If the pending charge remains for more than a week, contact both your bank and Fitzroy Social with the transaction details.

How do I contact Fitzroy Social about a charge on my statement?

Visit fitzroysocial.com.au and use the listed contact options, such as their online enquiry form or phone number, to reach the venue or bookings team. When you contact them, include the transaction date, exact amount, how the charge appears on your statement, and the last four digits of your card. Providing this information helps staff quickly locate the transaction and explain or correct the charge if necessary.
