About Molly

Molly is a 1920s-inspired speakeasy-style cocktail and whisky bar hidden in central Canberra, ACT, Australia. Known for its intimate, Prohibition-era atmosphere, Molly specialises in classic and contemporary cocktails, an extensive whisky selection from around the world, and regular live jazz performances. Guests typically visit for drinks, bar snacks, and the overall experience; Molly does not operate as a subscription service, but as a hospitality venue where you pay for what you order on the night, as well as for any gift vouchers or event tickets purchased via their website at molly.bar.

A charge from MOLLY, MOLLY BAR, MOLLY CANBERRA, or a similar description on your bank statement usually relates to an in‑venue purchase such as cocktails, whisky, other beverages, bar snacks, or a bar tab settled at the end of the night. You may also see a charge if you purchased a Molly gift voucher, booked and paid for a special event, or paid a deposit for a function through their online system. In some cases, your bank may show a temporary pre-authorisation (for example, when you open a bar tab and leave your card behind the bar) which looks like a normal charge but is released once the final amount is processed.

If you’re unsure about a Molly charge, first check your calendar, messages, and receipts for a recent visit to Molly in Canberra, or for any online purchases from molly.bar. Review your bank statement for the exact date and amount, as this often matches a night out, group drinks where you paid the tab, or a gift voucher purchase. For clarification, you can contact Molly directly via the contact details or enquiry form on molly.bar, or through their social media pages; have the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card ready. If you suspect an error or duplicate charge, speak with Molly first to resolve it, and then contact your bank if it cannot be corrected by the venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from MOLLY or MOLLY BAR on my bank statement?

This charge is typically from a visit to Molly, the speakeasy-style cocktail and whisky bar in central Canberra. It may reflect drinks, bar snacks, a bar tab you settled for a group, or an in‑venue payment such as a function bill. In some cases, it can also be for a gift voucher or event ticket purchased via their website, molly.bar.

What are typical amounts for charges from Molly?

Common charge amounts correspond to the cost of cocktails (often in the ~$20–$30 range each), premium whiskies (which can vary widely in price per pour), and shared bar tabs that may total from tens to several hundreds of dollars depending on the group size and duration. Gift vouchers are usually purchased as round figures (for example, $50, $100, $150 or more), and event or tasting tickets are often a fixed per‑person amount. If your charge matches one of these patterns around a night out or a gift purchase, it is likely legitimate.

Why do I see two Molly amounts or a small pending charge when I opened a bar tab?

When you open a bar tab, Molly (through its payment processor) may place a pre-authorisation hold on your card to confirm that funds are available. Your bank may display this as a pending charge separate from the final tab amount. The hold is usually released automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final, settled bar tab on your account.

Can Molly charges be recurring or part of a subscription?

Molly does not offer ongoing subscription memberships that bill your card automatically like a streaming service. All normal charges are one‑off transactions tied to a visit, a specific event, or a gift voucher purchase. If you see multiple charges, they usually reflect separate visits, multiple tabs on different dates, or several vouchers or tickets bought individually.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or check what was on my Molly tab?

If you didn’t receive or keep a receipt, you can contact Molly using the details on molly.bar and request a copy of your receipt for a specific date and time. Provide the name on the booking (if any), approximate arrival time, the last four digits of your card, and the exact amount that appears on your bank statement. The venue can then look up the transaction and confirm the items charged to your tab.

How do I dispute a Molly charge or request a refund for an incorrect bill?

Start by contacting Molly directly as soon as you notice a potential error—use the contact form or email listed on molly.bar, or call during opening hours, and provide the transaction date, amount, and card details (last four digits only). They can review the bill, check for duplicate payments, and correct obvious mistakes or overcharges. If an adjustment or refund is approved, it will be processed back to your original payment method, typically appearing within a few business days depending on your bank.

I bought a Molly gift voucher online—how will it appear on my statement and can I get a refund?

Online gift vouchers purchased via molly.bar usually appear as a charge from MOLLY, MOLLY BAR, or a similar descriptor, and the amount should match the voucher value you selected. Gift vouchers are generally non‑refundable once issued, but if you made a mistake with the amount or purchase, contact Molly promptly to see if they can assist or adjust before the voucher is used. Keep the confirmation email handy when you contact them.

How can I contact Molly about a charge I don’t recognise?

Visit molly.bar and use the contact or enquiry section to reach the venue, or look for their listed phone number to call during opening hours. When you get in touch, provide the transaction date, exact amount, and how it appears on your statement, along with the last four digits of the card used. This helps staff quickly locate the transaction, explain what it was for, and advise on next steps if it appears to be a mistake.
