About North & Common

North & Common (often styled North&COMMON) is a contemporary, produce-driven restaurant located in the historic former mess hall of Pentridge Prison, now the Chapter Place / Pentridge precinct in Coburg, Melbourne. The dining room sits within the Adina Apartment Hotel Pentridge complex and offers modern Australian, bistro-style dishes with a strong seasonal focus, alongside an extensive wine list that draws from both Australian and international producers. The space is designed for neighbourhood dining, special occasions and events, with options ranging from casual midweek pasta or steak nights to chef’s selection shared menus and group functions.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

A North & Common charge usually appears on your bank or card statement after in-venue spending such as breakfast at the hotel restaurant, à la carte dinner, a set-price experience (for example, a four-course shared menu around A$95 per person), themed nights like Pasta Night (around A$29 per person with wine) or Steak Night (around A$39 per person with wine), or drinks from the bar. You may also see their name if you prepay for a dining package booked via their website or a partner (like a "dine and tour" package with Pentridge Prison Tours), pay a deposit for a private event, purchase or redeem a gift card, or settle a restaurant bill that was charged back to your room at Adina Pentridge. Some banks show a temporary "pending" or smaller test amount when a card is authorised for a bar tab or booking guarantee; this is an authorisation hold that usually disappears after the final charge is processed.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

If you’re unsure about a North & Common charge, first match the transaction date and amount to any visit you (or a family member) made to the Pentridge/Adina Pentridge precinct, including hotel stays, events, or prison tour packages that included a meal. Check for email confirmations or receipts from North & Common, Chapter Place, Adina Pentridge, or booking platforms you may have used. To clarify or dispute a charge, contact the venue on +61 3 9100 9000 or via the contact details linked on northandcommon.com.au, and provide the transaction date, amount, last four digits of the card, and the name the booking was under; for hotel-related or event charges you may also need to speak with Adina Pentridge or the Chapter Place events team. If the venue confirms an error but cannot resolve it quickly, your bank or card issuer can advise on raising a formal dispute.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases typically show up as a North & Common charge on my statement?

Most North & Common charges come from dining in the restaurant or bar — for example breakfast while staying at Adina Pentridge, dinner from the seasonal à la carte menu, set menus like the four-course shared experience (around A$95 per person), or midweek Pasta/Steak Night offers (roughly A$29–39 per person including a glass of wine). You might also see their name if you paid a deposit or balance for a private function, bought a gift card, or booked a combined Pentridge Prison tour and dining package that uses North & Common for the meal component.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

What are common dollar amounts for North & Common charges?

Individual charges typically fall between about A$40 and A$100 per person for standard dining, excluding higher-end wine selections. Special experiences like the chef’s four-course shared menu are around A$95 per person, while promotional nights such as Pasta Night and Steak Night are usually in the A$29–39 per person range including a paired glass of wine. Group events, wedding or corporate catering, and large bar tabs can be significantly higher because they often include multi-course menus plus drinks for many guests.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

Does North & Common run subscriptions or recurring billing?

No, North & Common does not operate subscription or membership billing; all restaurant transactions are one-off charges tied to specific visits, events, or bookings. If you see repeated charges, they are usually separate visits, split bills (for example, multiple cards used at one table), or a deposit followed by a final balance for an event or dining package. If you don’t recognise multiple entries, contact the venue with your statement details so they can verify each transaction.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

Why do I see two North & Common charges or a small pending amount and a larger final charge?

Like many restaurants and hotel venues, North & Common may place a temporary authorisation on your card to open a bar tab, guarantee a booking, or secure an event deposit; this can appear as a smaller or “pending” amount. Once your final bill is processed (including food, drinks, and any gratuity), a separate final charge is taken and the temporary hold should drop off automatically within a few business days. If both amounts fully post instead of one expiring, contact the restaurant or your hotel front desk to request a review and reversal of any duplicate.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

How can I cancel a dining reservation or event booking to avoid unwanted North & Common charges?

For standard restaurant bookings, cancellation is usually handled through the platform you used to book (such as an online reservation system) or by calling the venue directly on +61 3 9100 9000; note that late cancellations or no-shows may incur a per-person fee if a card guarantee was taken. For private events or group menus booked through Chapter Place or Adina Pentridge, refer to your function agreement, which typically sets out cut-off times for cancellations and whether deposits are refundable or can be transferred to a new date. Always cancel in writing (email) where possible so you have a record if you later need to dispute a charge.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

How do I request a refund or dispute a charge from North & Common?

Start by contacting the venue or associated hotel/events team with your receipt or a screenshot of your bank statement showing the date, amount, and last four digits of the card. They can check their point-of-sale records and booking logs to confirm what was charged and may offer a refund or adjustment if there was a billing error (for example, an incorrect amount, duplicate transaction, or a cancelled event that was still charged). If you cannot resolve the matter directly, your bank or card issuer can help you raise a formal dispute, but they will usually ask for evidence that you tried to resolve it with the merchant first.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

How can I get a copy of my North & Common receipt or tax invoice?

If you dined in or attended an event, you can request a copy of your receipt by calling +61 3 9100 9000 or using the contact details linked on northandcommon.com.au, and providing the date, approximate time, amount, and name on the booking. For charges linked to a stay at Adina Apartment Hotel Pentridge or a Chapter Place event, the hotel or event coordinator may issue a consolidated invoice and can resend it on request. Having your booking confirmation email and the last four digits of your card handy will help them locate the transaction more quickly.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))

How do I contact North & Common about a charge I don’t recognise?

You can reach the venue by phone on +61 3 9100 9000 (international callers may need to dial +61 3 9100 9000) or via the contact details and enquiry forms linked from northandcommon.com.au. When you contact them, include the transaction date, exact amount in AUD, the name on the card, and any booking references (such as hotel reservation numbers or tour confirmations) so they can trace the charge. If the restaurant has transitioned your booking under the newer Chapter Place branding, they can still access historical North & Common records to explain or correct the transaction.([opentable.com](https://www.opentable.com/r/northandcommon-coburg?utm_source=openai))
