About Sorrento Portsea RSL

Sorrento Portsea RSL is a local Returned & Services League (RSL) sub-branch and social club located in Sorrento on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1919, it serves as a community hub for veterans, locals and visitors, combining commemorative and community functions with a lively hospitality offering.

A charge from “SQ *SORRENTO PORTSEA R” or similar on your card statement is most likely a purchase made at the Sorrento Portsea RSL bar or dining areas, processed via Square as the payment provider. This might be for meals from the Thai restaurant, bar drinks during a live music event, tickets for a show, or membership and community event payments taken at the venue. Depending on timing, you might see separate smaller transactions for food and beverages, or a single combined bill settled at the bar or table.

If you don’t recognize the charge, first consider whether you or a family member recently visited Sorrento or Portsea, attended live music at Tom Katz, or dined at Sorrento Thai at the RSL. To verify, check email receipts from Square, your bank’s transaction date and time, and any booking confirmations. For further clarification, you can contact Sorrento Portsea RSL directly using the details on their official website, provide the transaction date and amount, and ask them to look up the payment. As a community, volunteer‑run club without gaming machines, they are accustomed to helping patrons with membership and payment queries, and can usually confirm what was purchased and provide a copy of the receipt if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show a charge from “SQ *SORRENTO PORTSEA R” or similar?

This descriptor indicates a card payment processed by Square at Sorrento Portsea RSL. The charge is typically for food or drinks at the bar or Sorrento Thai Restaurant, tickets to a Tom Katz live music event, or other purchases made at the club.

What kinds of amounts are typical for charges from Sorrento Portsea RSL?

Common charge amounts include modest bar tabs for drinks, bistro or Thai meals for one or more people, and occasional higher amounts if you paid for a group booking, event tickets, or a function tab. If you see multiple small charges on the same date, they may be separate bar or food payments processed individually.

How can I confirm what I purchased at Sorrento Portsea RSL?

Check your email for a Square receipt sent around the transaction time and compare it to your bank statement. If you can’t find it, contact Sorrento Portsea RSL via the phone or email listed on their website and provide the transaction date, approximate time and amount; staff can usually look up the payment and tell you what was purchased.

Does Sorrento Portsea RSL offer memberships, and could my charge be for membership fees?

Yes, as an RSL sub-branch, they offer memberships and sometimes process membership renewals or event tickets at the bar or front desk. If you recently joined or renewed, your statement may show a one‑off membership or event fee charged under the same Square descriptor as food and drink purchases.

Can I get a refund for an incorrect or duplicate charge from Sorrento Portsea RSL?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly or twice, contact the club directly with your bank statement entry and any receipts. They can review the transaction in their Square system and, if an error is confirmed, process a reversal or refund back to your card. Your bank may also be able to assist if the merchant cannot locate the charge.

Why do I see a small pending charge from Sorrento Portsea RSL that later disappears?

Occasionally, a small temporary authorization may appear when your card is first processed via Square, especially if a tab is opened. This is an authorization hold, not a final sale, and it should automatically drop off once the final transaction is settled or voided.

How do I contact Sorrento Portsea RSL about a billing or receipt question?

Visit their official website at sorrentoportsearsl.com to find current contact details, including phone and email. When you contact them, provide your full name, the last four digits of the card used, the transaction date and amount, and they can help identify and explain the charge.

Could a family member’s visit result in a Sorrento Portsea RSL charge on my card?

Yes. If you share a card or gave your card to a partner or family member staying or holidaying around Sorrento or Portsea, they may have used it to pay for meals, drinks or an event at the RSL. Check with authorized card users before disputing the charge with your bank.
