About The Public Izakaya 2

The Public Izakaya 2 is a casual Japanese izakaya-style restaurant and bar located in Singapore, inspired by the lively backstreet taverns of Japan. It focuses on a wide selection of sake, shochu, Japanese highballs, beer, and other beverages, paired with classic izakaya dishes such as grilled skewers (yakitori and kushiyaki), karaage, gyoza, sashimi, and assorted small plates meant for sharing. Guests typically dine in a relaxed, social setting, with both individual dishes and shared platters available, and bills are usually settled at the end of the meal at the counter or via table-side payment.

A charge from “The Public Izakaya 2” may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay your bill for dine-in food and drinks, including any service charges and government taxes applicable in Singapore. You might also see a charge for takeaway orders, group or corporate bookings, or bar tabs that were kept open and closed out at the end of the night. In some cases, your bank may show an initial “pending” or “authorization” amount when your card is first swiped or when a tab is opened, which is later adjusted to match the final bill once you’ve finished dining.

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking receipts from the date in question, as well as messages or email confirmations from any reservations you made at The Public Izakaya 2. Compare the transaction date, amount, and location with when you visited or ordered. To clarify a bill, you can contact the restaurant directly using the details on their website (thepublicizakaya.com) or call during business hours, providing the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can locate the payment. Common issues—such as tips included twice, duplicate transactions, or confusion over shared-group bills—can usually be resolved by speaking with the restaurant first; if needed, you can then follow up with your card issuer to dispute any confirmed errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a card charge from The Public Izakaya 2 when I only opened a bar tab?

When you open a bar tab at The Public Izakaya 2, the restaurant or your card issuer may place a temporary authorization hold to confirm your card is valid. This can appear as a pending charge on your statement, sometimes for a rounded or estimated amount. Once you close your tab, the hold is replaced by the final bill total, and the original pending amount should drop off within a few business days.

What typical amounts might I see from The Public Izakaya 2 on my statement?

Most charges from The Public Izakaya 2 correspond to a single dining session, ranging from modest amounts for a quick drink and a few skewers to larger totals for full meals with shared dishes and bottles of sake. The final bill will usually include a service charge and applicable GST in Singapore, so the total may be slightly higher than menu prices alone. If you dined in a group and paid for the entire table, your charge will reflect everyone’s orders, not just your own.

Why is the charge from The Public Izakaya 2 slightly higher than the amount I remember from the menu?

Menu prices at The Public Izakaya 2 generally do not include service charge and GST, which are added to your bill at checkout according to local regulations. In addition, if you added a tip or rounded up the total when paying, that amount will be included in the final transaction. Comparing the itemized receipt (if you kept a copy or took a photo) with the statement amount can help you confirm the difference.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from The Public Izakaya 2 for a charge on my card?

If you need a receipt, contact The Public Izakaya 2 directly—preferably by phone during operating hours or via the contact details listed on thepublicizakaya.com. Provide the transaction date and time, the exact amount charged, and the last four digits of your card so staff can search their point-of-sale records. If available, they may be able to reprint or email you a copy of the receipt for your records or for expense claims.

Can I dispute or correct a charge from The Public Izakaya 2, such as a duplicate payment or wrong amount?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly—such as being billed twice, charged the wrong total, or having an item added in error—reach out to The Public Izakaya 2 as soon as possible. The restaurant can review their transaction logs and receipts to verify what was processed and, if an error is confirmed, they can usually issue a void or refund through their payment terminal. If you cannot resolve the issue directly with the restaurant, contact your bank or card issuer to start a formal dispute with supporting documentation.

Why do I see both a pending and a completed charge from The Public Izakaya 2?

Some banks show the initial authorization hold and the final posted transaction as separate line items temporarily. The pending amount (authorization) should automatically fall off once the final charge is processed and settled, usually within a few days. If both remain as completed charges after several business days, contact The Public Izakaya 2 with your receipt and then your bank to check for a possible duplicate charge.

Does The Public Izakaya 2 take deposits or prepayments for large groups or events?

For larger group reservations or special events, The Public Izakaya 2 may request a deposit or minimum spend guarantee, which can appear on your statement as a separate charge from your dining bill. In some cases, this deposit is deducted from your final bill; in others, it may be refunded if you meet the agreed minimum spend or cancel within their policy window. If you see a smaller charge before your visit and a larger one on the day itself, check your reservation confirmation or contact the restaurant to understand how the deposit was handled.

How can I contact The Public Izakaya 2 if I don’t recognize a charge?

Visit the restaurant’s official website at thepublicizakaya.com to find their current phone number and contact details, then call during opening hours for the fastest response. When you contact them, have your bank statement ready with the transaction date, time if shown, amount, and last four digits of your card. This information helps staff quickly locate the transaction in their system and confirm what was ordered or clarify any confusion about the charge.
