About The Mint Bar & Restaurant

The Mint Bar & Restaurant is a heritage-style pub, bar, and casual dining venue located on William Street in Melbourne’s CBD, adjacent to Flagstaff Gardens. Housed in a historic building, it’s known for its large outdoor beer garden, relaxed atmosphere, and a menu that typically includes pub classics, share plates, and seasonal dishes, as well as a wide range of beers, wines, and cocktails. The Mint also offers indoor and outdoor function spaces that can be reserved for corporate events, birthdays, and private celebrations, with tailored food and beverage packages.

A charge from “The Mint Bar & Restaurant,” “THE MINT MELBOURNE,” or a similar description will usually relate to food and drink purchased at the venue, a bar tab, or payment for a pre-booked event or function package. You might see a one-time charge for a dine‑in visit, a pre-authorisation hold when you open a bar tab or start a group bill, or a partial/remaining balance for a function deposit. In some cases, there may be separate same‑day charges if your group ran multiple tabs, split bills across several cards, added a bar extension to a function, or if tips/surcharges (such as public holiday surcharges) were processed as separate items.

If you’re unsure about a charge from The Mint Bar & Restaurant, start by checking your calendar, emails, and messages for booking confirmations, function inquiries, or receipts from themint.com.au around the date of the transaction. Many receipts are provided at the venue at the time of payment, but you can also contact the team directly via the contact details or enquiry form on their website, or by speaking with the venue during opening hours, to request a tax invoice or check a specific transaction. Have the exact amount, transaction date, and the last four digits of the card ready so staff can look it up. If you still believe the charge is incorrect after speaking with the venue, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute or investigate the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from The Mint Bar & Restaurant on my statement when I don’t remember eating there?

Charges from The Mint Bar & Restaurant often appear under descriptions like “THE MINT MELBOURNE” or similar, which can look unfamiliar. The charge may relate to a casual visit for drinks, a work function, after‑work drinks, or a shared bill where someone else made the booking but your card was used to pay or contribute. Check your messages, calendar, and emails around the transaction date for meeting invites or event confirmations that took place near Flagstaff Gardens in Melbourne’s CBD.

Why was I charged twice or see multiple charges from The Mint on the same day?

Multiple charges usually happen when a group runs more than one tab, splits the bill across several cards, or pays separately for food and drinks. Another common situation is when a temporary pre‑authorisation hold for a bar tab appears in addition to the final bill until the hold is released by your bank. Also check whether a tip, public holiday surcharge, or function upgrade was added as a separate transaction. If the amounts don’t add up to what you expect, contact the venue with your receipt or the exact charge details for clarification.

Does The Mint Bar & Restaurant place pre-authorisation holds on my card?

Yes, The Mint may place a pre‑authorisation hold when you open a bar tab, set up a function bar tab, or leave your card behind the bar. This hold confirms that funds are available and is usually for an estimated amount or a standard limit. The final amount you spend is then charged, and the original hold is released by your bank within a few business days. If you see both a pending and a posted charge, the pending amount should fall off automatically once the hold is released.

I paid a deposit for a function at The Mint. How does that appear on my bank statement?

Function deposits for The Mint Bar & Restaurant are typically processed as a separate payment prior to your event and may appear under a description referencing The Mint or the venue’s corporate entity. On the day of your function, you may then see additional charges for per‑head catering, bar tabs, or extensions, depending on your package. Your deposit is normally applied to the total bill, with any remaining balance settled at the end of the event. For a detailed breakdown or tax invoice, contact the venue’s functions team via the enquiry form on themint.com.au.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from The Mint Bar & Restaurant?

If you didn’t receive a printed tax invoice at the venue or have misplaced it, you can request a copy by contacting The Mint through the contact details or booking/enquiry form on their website. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the exact charge amount, the last four digits of your card, and the name the booking was under if it was a reservation or function. Staff can usually email you a copy of the invoice or a statement breakdown once they locate the transaction.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from The Mint?

Start by contacting The Mint Bar & Restaurant directly and explain the issue—for example, being charged the wrong amount, duplicate billing, or an item that was not received. Have your receipt or the transaction details from your bank statement ready so they can investigate the specific payment. If the venue agrees that an error occurred, they can process an adjustment or refund back to your card; it may take several business days to appear, depending on your bank. If you cannot resolve the issue directly with the venue, you can then lodge a dispute with your bank or card provider.

Can I cancel or change a function booking at The Mint without losing my deposit?

The Mint’s cancellation and deposit policies depend on the type of function, size of the group, and how close to the event date you cancel or change details. In many cases, deposits are non‑refundable within a certain timeframe before the event, or may be transferable to a new date subject to availability. Review the terms sent with your function confirmation email or proposal, and if you’re unsure, contact the functions team via the website to discuss options and any potential fees.

Why is the amount I was charged different from the total on my original bill at The Mint?

Differences between the bill and the final charge usually result from gratuities, card surcharges, or public holiday/weekend surcharges that were added at payment time. In some cases, when part of the bill is moved to another table or split between guests, the amount you personally pay will differ from the full printed bill. Review your receipt to see if tips or surcharges were included and compare it to your bank statement. If something still seems off, contact the venue with both the receipt and transaction details for a line‑by‑line check.
