About Liminal

Liminal is a multi-purpose café, wine bar, bottle shop, and event space located in the lobby atrium of 161 Collins Street in Melbourne’s CBD. Open weekdays, it focuses on seasonal breakfast and lunch dishes, specialty coffee, and a curated selection of Australian and international wines and pantry items. The venue also hosts private and corporate events, tastings, and functions, and operates a retail bottle shop where guests can purchase wine and selected produce to take home. More details about menus, opening hours, and events are available on their website at liminalmelbourne.com.

A charge from Liminal may appear on your bank or card statement if you visited the café or wine bar for food or drinks, purchased wine or produce from the bottle shop, or attended/paid for an event or function held at the venue. You might also see a charge for a group booking, an event deposit or balance, a gift card purchase, or a corporate catering order processed through their systems. In some cases, your bank may briefly show a small pending amount or an authorization hold when you open a tab at the bar, start a table, or when the card terminal verifies your card.

To verify a Liminal charge, start by checking the date and amount against any recent visits to 161 Collins Street or purchases of wine, food, events, or catering you may have made. The descriptor on your statement may appear as “LIMINAL MELBOURNE”, “LIMINAL 161 COLLINS”, or a similar variation. If you still have questions, visit liminalmelbourne.com and use the contact details listed there (such as their phone number or email) to reach the venue directly with your receipt date, approximate time, and amount. They can look up your transaction, re-send receipts, clarify split bills or tips, and help correct any duplicate or incorrect charges in coordination with your bank if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Liminal on my bank statement?

You’re likely seeing a charge from Liminal because you paid for food, drinks, or coffee at their café and wine bar in the 161 Collins Street atrium, purchased wine or pantry items from their bottle shop, or settled a bill for a private event or function. The transaction may appear under a descriptor such as “LIMINAL MELBOURNE” or similar, depending on your bank.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by Liminal?

Common charges from Liminal include small amounts for coffee and breakfast items, mid-range charges for lunch and wine by the glass, and higher amounts for group dining, bottle purchases, or event bookings. If you see an unusually large charge, it may represent a full group bill, a function invoice, or multiple bottles of wine or retail items purchased at once.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate Liminal charge on my card?

Liminal’s payment terminals or your bank may place a temporary authorization hold to confirm your card when you start a tab or when a transaction is first processed. This can appear as a small or duplicate pending charge that should automatically disappear or be adjusted to the final amount within a few business days. If a pending hold remains for more than a week, contact your bank and, if needed, Liminal using the details on liminalmelbourne.com.

I was part of a group and paid only my share. Why is the Liminal amount higher than I expected?

When bills are split, some banks initially show the full pre-split authorization before updating to your final share, especially for contactless or tap payments. It’s also possible that tips, surcharges (such as public holiday surcharges), or an additional drink or item were added to your portion. Compare the amount on your receipt with the amount on your statement; if they don’t match and you can’t resolve it with your group, contact Liminal with the date, time, and last four digits of your card so they can check their records.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or invoice from Liminal?

If you need a receipt or tax invoice, first check your email if you requested an emailed receipt at the time of payment. If you didn’t, visit liminalmelbourne.com and use their listed contact details to request a copy, providing the transaction date, approximate time, amount, and the last four digits of your card. They can usually retrieve and resend receipts for both in-venue dining and event or catering payments.

How can I query or dispute a charge from Liminal?

Start by contacting Liminal directly using the phone number or email address on their website’s Contact page, and provide details of the charge (date, amount, and name on the card). They can review their point-of-sale and booking systems to confirm what the charge was for and correct any obvious errors, such as accidental double-charging. If you still believe the charge is unauthorized after speaking with them, contact your bank or card issuer to initiate a formal dispute.

I paid a deposit to Liminal for an event or group booking—how does that appear on my statement?

Event or function deposits at Liminal are typically processed as a separate charge from any final balance payment. Your statement may therefore show one charge for the deposit and a second charge closer to the event date or immediately after the event for the remaining balance. If you’re unsure whether a charge relates to a deposit or the final bill, contact Liminal with your booking name and event date so they can clarify.

Does Liminal offer refunds, and how are they processed?

Refunds at Liminal are assessed on a case-by-case basis, for example in the case of an overcharge, duplicate transaction, or an event cancellation within their policy. Approved refunds are usually processed back to the same card or payment method you originally used and can take several business days to appear on your statement. To request a refund or correction, contact the venue using the details on liminalmelbourne.com and provide as much transaction information as possible.
