About Fridays Riverside

Fridays Riverside is a well-known bar and restaurant located along the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It’s popular for after-work drinks, casual dining, and late-night entertainment, with indoor and outdoor spaces that overlook the river and city skyline. The venue offers a mix of modern Australian pub-style food, cocktails, beer and wine, plus function and event bookings for parties, corporate events, and celebrations. More information about menus, opening hours, and events is available on their website at fridays.com.au.

A charge from “Fridays Riverside,” “Fridays Bris,” or a similar description on your bank statement usually relates to a purchase made at the bar or restaurant. This can include food and drink orders, a bar tab, bottle service, event tickets, or a deposit or final payment for a private function or group booking. You may also see pre-authorisation holds when you open a bar tab or when a card is held for a function booking; these appear as pending charges and may differ slightly from the final amount. In some cases, split bills, group tabs paid on a single card, or tips added at the terminal can make the charge amount look unfamiliar.

If you’re unsure about a Fridays Riverside charge, first check your receipts, text/email confirmations for event bookings, and any recent social outings in Brisbane where your card may have been used. Compare the transaction date and amount with the date you visited Fridays Riverside or attended an event there, keeping in mind that some bank statements show the processing date rather than the visit date. To resolve questions, you can contact the venue via the details on fridays.com.au—typically by phone during opening hours or through their online enquiry form—providing the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the payment. If you suspect a billing error or unauthorised use, speak to Fridays Riverside first for clarification or a potential refund, and then contact your bank to dispute the charge if it cannot be resolved directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Fridays Riverside charge on my card when I only opened a bar tab?

Fridays Riverside often places a temporary pre-authorisation on your card when you open a bar tab or leave your card behind the bar. This appears as a pending charge and can be higher than your eventual spend as it’s used to secure the tab. When the tab is closed, the final amount is processed and the pre-authorisation is released by your bank, usually within a few business days. If you see both a pending and a final charge, the pending one should disappear once your bank completes processing.

What are common charge amounts from Fridays Riverside I might see on my statement?

Typical charges from Fridays Riverside can range from around AUD $20–$80 for individual food and drink purchases, to several hundred dollars for larger group tabs or function payments. Event packages, minimum spends for reserved areas, and pre-paid function deposits can also appear as larger single amounts. If the amount doesn’t match what you recall spending, check whether you were part of a shared tab or group bill that was settled on your card.

Can Fridays Riverside set up recurring or ongoing charges on my card?

Fridays Riverside does not operate on a subscription or recurring billing model like streaming services or memberships. Most transactions are one-off charges for food, drinks, or events, or a one-time deposit and final payment for a function booking. If you see multiple charges on nearby dates, they are usually separate visits, split payments for a function, or an original pre-authorisation plus the final charge.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from Fridays Riverside?

If you believe you were overcharged, charged twice, or billed for an incorrect amount, contact Fridays Riverside directly using the phone number or contact form listed at fridays.com.au. Provide the transaction date, time (if known), amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can look up the receipt and POS record. If an error is confirmed, they can usually process a refund back to the original payment method. If you cannot resolve the issue with the venue, contact your bank to lodge a formal dispute.

I paid a deposit for a function at Fridays Riverside—why is the amount on my statement different from what I expected?

Function and event bookings at Fridays Riverside may involve a deposit, a minimum spend, and a final balance payment. The amount on your statement could reflect just the deposit, just the final balance, or a combined charge if arranged that way with the events team. Check your email correspondence and function agreement for the agreed deposit and total spend, and if it still looks wrong, contact the events team through fridays.com.au with your booking reference.

Why is my Fridays Riverside transaction still pending or showing as an "authorisation"?

When your card is used to start a tab or when a bank takes longer to clear transactions, the payment can show as a pending or authorised charge for a few days. This is normal and is controlled by your bank, not the venue. Once the bank finalises the transaction, the pending amount either converts to the final charge or is released if it was only a pre-authorisation. If a pending charge remains for more than 7–10 days, contact your bank for clarification and, if needed, Fridays Riverside to confirm the transaction details.

How can I get a copy of a receipt for a Fridays Riverside charge?

To request a copy of your receipt, contact Fridays Riverside using the contact details listed on fridays.com.au and ask to speak with a manager or accounts staff. You’ll need to provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the amount charged, the card type, and the last four digits of the card number. If they can locate the transaction in their system, they can usually email you a copy of the tax invoice or receipt for your records.

What should I do if I don’t recognise a Fridays Riverside charge and I haven’t been there recently?

First, confirm whether a family member, partner, or colleague may have used your card at Fridays Riverside, especially for group outings or corporate events. If no one recognises the transaction, contact the venue with the date, amount, and card details (last four digits only) so they can check their records and possibly identify the transaction. If they cannot match it or it appears suspicious, immediately contact your bank to report potential unauthorised use and request that your card be blocked and the charge investigated.
