About Palmer & Co.

Palmer & Co. is a 1920s Prohibition-era themed cocktail bar located in Sydney’s CBD, operated by Australian hospitality group Merivale. Tucked away down an alley and underground, it is known for its dimly lit, speakeasy-style atmosphere, inventive cocktails, and curated list of spirits, as well as bar snacks and small plates. The venue focuses on both classic and signature cocktails, often using premium ingredients and craft techniques, and is a popular destination for after-work drinks, date nights, and late-night gatherings.

A charge from “Palmer and Co Sydney” on your bank or card statement likely corresponds to in-venue purchases such as cocktails, food, or bottle service made at Palmer & Co. It may also reflect a bar tab that was opened and then closed at the end of the visit, or a pre-authorisation hold placed on your card when you started a tab. Group bookings or events held at the venue may also be billed under this name.

If you don’t recognise the charge, first check recent receipts, booking confirmations, or messages related to a night out in Sydney’s CBD around the transaction date. Because Palmer & Co. is part of Merivale, some statements may reference Merivale as well, so review any related emails from merivale.com or Palmer & Co. For questions or disputes, contact the venue or Merivale customer service directly using the details on their official website; they can usually look up your transaction by date, time, and card details and provide a copy of the receipt or adjust charges if an error occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “Palmer and Co Sydney” on my card statement?

This charge typically comes from in-person spending at Palmer & Co. in Sydney, such as cocktails, food, or a bar tab. It may also represent a pre-authorisation hold that was later captured when your tab was closed.

Does Palmer & Co. place a pre-authorisation hold when I open a bar tab?

Yes, like many bars, Palmer & Co. may place a temporary pre-authorisation hold on your card when you open a tab to verify funds. The final spend replaces this hold when your tab is closed, and any unused portion of the hold is released by your bank within a few days.

Can I get an itemised receipt for my Palmer & Co. charge?

You can request an itemised receipt by contacting Palmer & Co. or Merivale directly with the date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card. They can usually retrieve the transaction from their point-of-sale system and email you a copy.

I was charged more than I expected at Palmer & Co. How can I query this?

First, verify whether a tip, service charge, or multiple rounds were added to your bill. If the amount still seems incorrect, contact the venue or Merivale customer support via the contact form or phone number listed on merivale.com, providing your transaction details so they can investigate and, if needed, adjust the charge.

How do group or function bookings at Palmer & Co. appear on my statement?

Group bookings, minimum spends, or function deposits for events at Palmer & Co. are generally processed under the same merchant descriptor (e.g., “Palmer and Co Sydney” or a Merivale-branded descriptor). Check any booking confirmation emails from Merivale for reference to the amount and expected charge date.

Can I cancel or change a prepaid event or booking at Palmer & Co. and get a refund?

Refunds or changes for prepaid events or group bookings depend on Merivale’s and Palmer & Co.’s booking terms. Review the cancellation policy in your confirmation email and then contact the events or bookings team through merivale.com if you need to modify or cancel; they will confirm eligibility for refunds or credits.

Why do I see both a pending and a posted charge from Palmer & Co.?

You may first see a pending pre-authorisation hold and later a separate posted charge for the final bill. The original hold should drop off automatically once your bank releases it. If the pending amount remains for more than a week or you believe you were double-charged, contact your bank and Palmer & Co. with the transaction details.
