About The Stables Bar

The Stables Bar is a modern Australian gastropub and cocktail bar located in a restored heritage horse stable in Perth’s CBD. Spread over multiple levels with indoor and courtyard spaces, it focuses on share-style plates, classic pub favourites with a contemporary twist, and a strong emphasis on local and Australian produce. The venue offers a full bar with cocktails, an extensive wine list, and a wide selection of beers on tap and by the bottle, and it regularly hosts group bookings, private functions, and corporate events.

A charge from “THE STABLES BAR PERTH”, “STABLES BAR PERTH AU”, or similar wording on your bank or card statement typically relates to an in‑venue purchase at the bar or restaurant. This may include food and drink consumed on-site, a bar tab, payment for a group booking or function, a set menu or beverage package, or a deposit for an event. In some cases, you might see a temporary pre‑authorisation hold placed when you open a tab, secure a booking with a card, or check in for a large group reservation; these holds are usually released or adjusted to the final bill once the payment is processed.

If you don’t recognise a charge from The Stables Bar, start by thinking back to any recent visits to Perth’s CBD, social events, work functions, or group dinners you attended, as the payment may have been processed under the venue name rather than the event host. Check your email for booking confirmations or receipts, and ask anyone who may have used your card (such as a partner or colleague) whether they attended an event there. For detailed billing questions or to request a copy of a receipt, you can contact The Stables Bar directly using the phone number or contact form listed on thestablesbar.com.au, providing the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card so they can help locate the charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from THE STABLES BAR on my bank statement?

A charge from THE STABLES BAR usually means you paid for food and drinks at the venue, settled a bar tab, or were part of a group booking or function at their Perth CBD location. The transaction may appear under variations such as “THE STABLES BAR PERTH” or “STABLES BAR PERTH AU” depending on your bank. If you attended a work function, birthday, or other event there, the final bill or shared tab may have been charged to your card.

Does The Stables Bar place pre-authorisation holds on my card?

Yes, The Stables Bar may place a temporary pre‑authorisation hold when you open a bar tab, provide a card for security with a group booking, or pay a deposit via card. This is not a final charge and is usually released or adjusted to the final bill amount when your tab is closed or the payment is processed. Depending on your bank, the hold can take a few business days to disappear if it’s higher than the final amount charged.

I was charged twice by The Stables Bar—what should I do?

Occasionally, a pre‑authorisation and a final payment can look like two charges. First, check whether one entry is marked as “pending” or “authorisation” in your banking app, as this is often released automatically. If you believe you were genuinely charged twice, contact The Stables Bar directly via the phone or email listed on thestablesbar.com.au with the date, time, and exact amounts so they can investigate and issue a correction or refund if needed.

What are common charge amounts from The Stables Bar?

Common charges from The Stables Bar range from smaller amounts for a few drinks or bar snacks, through mid‑range bills for shared plates and cocktails, up to higher totals for group dinners, bottomless‑style packages, or private events. Corporate or private functions may show as larger, rounded amounts if they are based on per‑head packages or minimum spend agreements. If you see an unexpectedly high amount, consider whether you were part of a shared tab or agreed to a set menu or beverage package.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from The Stables Bar?

If you didn’t receive or have misplaced your receipt, you can request a copy directly from The Stables Bar. Visit thestablesbar.com.au and use the listed phone number or contact form, providing the transaction date and time, approximate amount, and the last four digits of the card used. The team can usually locate your bill in their point‑of‑sale system and email you a copy for your records or expense claims.

How do deposits and minimum spends for events at The Stables Bar appear on my statement?

For private functions and larger group bookings, The Stables Bar may charge a deposit or apply a minimum spend, which will appear as a standard card transaction under the venue name. Sometimes the deposit is later deducted from your final bill, resulting in a separate final charge when the event occurs. Your function or event confirmation email from The Stables Bar should outline how deposits and final payments are handled for your specific booking.

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

If you believe you were incorrectly charged—for example, wrong amount, items you didn’t receive, or a bill that should have been split differently—contact The Stables Bar first to resolve the issue. Reach out using the details on thestablesbar.com.au with supporting information like receipts, bank screenshots (with sensitive data hidden), and a description of the issue. If an error is confirmed, they can process a partial or full refund back to your card; refund timing will depend on your bank. If you can’t resolve it with them, you may then contact your bank to lodge a dispute.

Can someone else’s tab at The Stables Bar end up on my card?

It’s possible, though uncommon, for cards to be mixed up when multiple tabs are open or when paying at a busy bar. If you suspect this happened, contact The Stables Bar as soon as possible with the exact time you were there and details of the charge so they can check the individual bills and card slips. They can usually verify which items were charged to your card and correct any mistakes if a different party’s tab was accidentally applied.
