About Riverbar & Kitchen

Riverbar & Kitchen is a popular waterfront bar and restaurant located on the Brisbane River in the CBD, with relaxing, open-air views toward the Story Bridge. Known for its laid‑back riverside atmosphere, it serves modern Australian food alongside cocktails, local beers, wine and coffee from breakfast through to late evening. The venue caters to casual walk‑ins, group bookings and private events, and often runs seasonal menus, specials and event packages. More information, menus and bookings are available via their website at riverbarandkitchen.com.au.

A charge from Riverbar & Kitchen usually appears on your bank or card statement after you’ve paid for food, drinks or shared platters at the venue, or when settling a bar tab that was opened at the counter or bar. You may also see a charge if you paid a deposit for a group booking or function, were part of a large table where one person paid the whole bill, or if a service charge or public holiday surcharge was added. Some banks may show the descriptor slightly differently (for example, “RIVERBAR & KITCHEN BRISBANE QLD” or similar) and you might also notice separate charges if the bill was split across multiple cards.

If you don’t immediately recognise the charge, first check recent visits to Brisbane’s CBD waterfront, work functions, celebrations or group dinners where someone may have used your card to settle the bill. Compare the amount with typical restaurant or bar spends and look for any emailed receipts from Riverbar & Kitchen or booking confirmations tied to your email address. For questions about a specific transaction, overcharges, tips or surcharges, you can contact the venue using the details on riverbarandkitchen.com.au (phone and contact form), or by speaking with staff in person and providing the date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the receipt and resolve any billing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from RIVERBAR & KITCHEN on my bank statement?

This charge is typically from paying for food and drinks at Riverbar & Kitchen on the Brisbane River, or from settling a bar tab opened during your visit. It may also relate to a group booking, function package, or a deposit for a private event that was processed on your card. Check recent visits to Brisbane CBD waterfront venues, work functions, birthdays or social events where the bill may have been put on your card.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by Riverbar & Kitchen?

Common transaction amounts range from smaller spends (around AUD $20–$50) for a few drinks or snacks, through to $80–$200+ for meals with drinks for two or more people. For group functions, set menus or bar tabs, totals can be significantly higher and may be processed as a single payment. You might also see a secondary, smaller charge if you added a tip by card when paying at the terminal.

Does Riverbar & Kitchen place authorization holds or temporary charges on my card?

In some cases, an authorization hold may appear if your bank or card provider verifies the card when a tab is opened or when a pre‑authorisation is taken for a group booking. These holds can look like a charge but usually drop off automatically within a few business days if they’re not converted into a final payment. If you see both a pending hold and a final posted transaction for the same visit, the hold should disappear once your bank finishes processing.

I don’t recognise this Riverbar & Kitchen charge—how can I confirm what it’s for?

Start by checking the date and amount against any recent visits to the Brisbane River waterfront, lunch meetings, after‑work drinks or events you attended. Ask anyone who may use your card (such as a partner or family member) if they visited Riverbar & Kitchen around that time. If you still can’t identify it, contact the venue using the phone number or contact form on riverbarandkitchen.com.au and provide the transaction date, amount and last four digits of your card so they can locate the receipt.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or invoice from Riverbar & Kitchen?

If you paid in‑venue and chose an emailed receipt, check your email (including spam/junk) for messages from Riverbar & Kitchen around the transaction date. If you didn’t receive or keep the receipt, you can request a copy directly from the venue by calling or using the contact form on their website, providing the date and approximate time of your visit, the amount charged, and the last four digits of your card so staff can look it up in their point‑of‑sale system.

How can I dispute a charge or request a refund from Riverbar & Kitchen?

Contact the venue first to resolve any billing concerns, such as duplicate charges, incorrect totals, or items you didn’t receive. Reach out via the contact details on riverbarandkitchen.com.au or speak to a manager in person, and have your transaction details ready (date, time, amount, card type). If a mistake is confirmed, they can usually process a refund or adjustment back to your original payment method; processing time for the credit to appear will depend on your bank.

Why was I charged by Riverbar & Kitchen after a group booking or event?

For larger group bookings or private events, Riverbar & Kitchen may charge a deposit at the time of booking and then process the remaining balance on or after the event date. If you were the organiser or the cardholder listed on the booking form, your card is often the one used for these charges. Review your booking confirmation email and any event proposal or terms to see how and when payments are processed, and contact the venue if the final amount doesn’t match what you expected.

How do I update or cancel a booking associated with my Riverbar & Kitchen charge?

If your charge relates to a reservation or event booking, you can modify or cancel it by using the instructions or links in your booking confirmation email, or by contacting the venue directly. Their team can advise on any applicable cancellation timeframes or fees, which may vary for standard table bookings versus private or large group events. If a cancellation is eligible for a refund of a deposit or prepayment, it will typically be returned to the same card that was originally charged.
