About Regatta Hotel

Regatta Hotel is a historic riverside pub and hospitality venue located in Toowong, Brisbane, often known as “The Grand Lady of the Brisbane River.” Despite the word “Hotel” in the name, it operates primarily as a multi-bar venue and dining destination rather than a traditional accommodation hotel. The property features several bars, an on-site steak and seafood restaurant (The Boatshed), casual dining areas, a gaming lounge, and function and event spaces used for private celebrations, corporate events, and weddings.

A charge from Regatta Hotel on your bank or card statement usually relates to food and drinks purchased at one of the venue’s bars or restaurants, a bar tab you opened and then settled, or payment for an event, function package, or ticketed experience. You might also see a charge if you purchased takeaway alcohol from their bottleshop (if available), paid a deposit for a private function, or bought a gift card. In some cases, you may notice a temporary pre-authorization hold when opening a bar tab or when your card is pre-authorized at the point of sale; this hold may appear as a separate or higher pending amount and then adjust to the final charge once the bill is closed.

If you’re unsure about a Regatta Hotel charge, first compare the date and amount to any recent visits to the venue, events you booked, or bar tabs you may have opened. Check your email for booking confirmations or receipts issued at the time of payment, and ask anyone who shares your card or joint account if they visited the venue. To resolve questions, you can contact Regatta Hotel directly using the details on regattahotel.com.au (phone number and contact form), and provide the transaction date, amount, and the name on the card so staff can look up your bill or booking. Common issues such as duplicate charges, bar tab pre-authorizations that have not yet fallen off, or function deposits that look unfamiliar can usually be clarified and, where appropriate, corrected by the venue or your card issuer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from REGATTA HOTEL TOOWONG or similar on my bank statement?

This description typically appears for in-venue purchases at Regatta Hotel in Toowong, such as food and drinks at the bar, dining at The Boatshed restaurant, or payments made in their other bar areas or gaming lounge. It can also represent a deposit or final payment for a private function or ticketed event booked at the venue. If you share your card with a partner or family member, check whether they recently visited the venue or attended an event there.

Why is there a higher pending amount from Regatta Hotel than what I actually spent?

When you open a bar tab or leave your card behind the bar, Regatta Hotel may place a temporary pre-authorization hold for an estimated amount to confirm your card is valid. This can appear as a higher pending transaction than your final spend. Once your tab is closed and the final amount is processed, the original hold should automatically drop off your account within a few business days, depending on your bank’s policies.

What are common charge amounts I might see from Regatta Hotel?

Common Regatta Hotel charges range from small bar purchases (for example, a few drinks or a light meal) to larger totals for group dining, weekend sessions, or function packages. Event or function-related charges may appear as round-number deposits or balances (such as a flat deposit amount for room hire or per-person packages). Because prices vary with menu choices, drinks, and packages, it’s best to compare the charge with any receipts or booking confirmations you received from the venue.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Regatta Hotel?

If you didn’t receive or have misplaced your receipt, you can request a copy directly from Regatta Hotel. Use the contact details on regattahotel.com.au (phone or online contact form) and provide the transaction date, approximate time, amount, and the last four digits of the card used. If you were part of a group booking or function, including the booking name and event space will help staff locate the correct invoice.

How do I cancel or change a function, event booking, or large group reservation at Regatta Hotel?

To cancel, reschedule, or amend a function or group booking, you’ll need to contact the events or functions team at Regatta Hotel using the details on their website. Cancellation and change policies—including deadlines and whether your deposit is refundable—depend on the type of event, date, and terms agreed when you booked. Refer to your original confirmation email or event contract for specific conditions around refunds, minimum spends, and rescheduling.

How can I request a refund or dispute a charge from Regatta Hotel?

Start by contacting Regatta Hotel directly, as most billing issues can be resolved with the venue. Provide your receipt or the transaction date, amount, and card details (last four digits only) and explain why you believe the charge is incorrect—for example, a duplicate payment, incorrect total, or a pre-authorization that has not been released. If you cannot resolve the matter with the venue, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction, but they may ask for evidence of your attempt to resolve it with Regatta Hotel first.

Why do I see multiple Regatta Hotel charges on the same day?

Multiple charges on the same day can occur if you made several separate purchases at different bars or registers within the venue, closed and reopened tabs, or bought both food and takeaway items in separate transactions. It can also happen if you split a bill across different cards and one of the splits is in your name, or if a pre-authorization hold appears in addition to the final settled charge while the hold is still pending. Review the exact amounts and compare them to your receipts or any group payments you were involved in.

How can I confirm that a Regatta Hotel charge is linked to my visit or booking?

Match the transaction date and amount to any times you visited Regatta Hotel, dined at The Boatshed, attended a function, or purchased event tickets or gift cards. Check your email and SMS for booking confirmations or receipts from Regatta Hotel and ask any friends, family members, or colleagues who may have booked on your behalf. If you still can’t identify the charge, contact the venue through the details on regattahotel.com.au so staff can look up the transaction in their point-of-sale system using the date, amount, and card details.
