A charge from “NNT The Washington” or “The Washington” on a card statement likely corresponds to food and beverage purchases made on-site, such as cocktails, tapas, brunch, or dinner. Depending on how the bar runs cards, you might see an initial authorization for an estimated total (sometimes before tip) followed by a final settled amount that includes gratuity, which can appear as two separate line items temporarily. Tabs kept open for a group, special event deposits, or pre-authorized bar minimums for private functions can also result in larger-than-expected charges.

To verify a charge from The Washington, customers should first check the date and amount against any visits they made to the bar around that time, including group outings where they may have picked up a tab. Receipts (paper or email) and calendar entries can help confirm the transaction. If there are questions or discrepancies, contacting the venue directly by phone or email, using the contact details on their official website, is the best next step. Cardholders can request a copy of the receipt, clarification on gratuity, or an adjustment if an error occurred; if issues are not resolved, they can then follow up with their card issuer to dispute the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “NNT The Washington” on my card statement?

This descriptor likely represents a purchase made at The Washington, a cocktail bar and restaurant on Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles. The “NNT” portion is probably an internal or processor code, while “The Washington” is the actual merchant. Review whether you visited the bar for drinks, food, or an event on or around the transaction date.

Can The Washington place an authorization hold on my card?

Yes. Like many bars and restaurants, The Washington may place an initial authorization for an estimated amount when you open a tab. The final posted charge—after the check is closed and gratuity is added—can differ from the original authorization. The pending hold should fall off automatically once the final transaction settles, typically within a few days.

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

If you need a receipt, contact The Washington directly using the phone number or email listed on thewashington.la. Provide the transaction date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card so staff can look up the check and email or print a copy for you.

Does The Washington run tabs or split checks, and can that affect how charges appear?

The Washington commonly runs open tabs and can split checks among multiple guests. In some cases, you may see multiple smaller charges if the bill was divided among several cards, or a larger single charge if you covered the group tab. Always confirm how the bill was split before leaving, and compare that to the amounts on your statement.

How do I dispute an incorrect charge from The Washington?

First, contact The Washington directly and explain the issue—such as an incorrect total, duplicate charge, or wrong tip amount. Ask them to review the original check and payment slip. If they confirm an error, they can process an adjustment or refund. If you cannot resolve it with the venue, contact your card issuer and provide any receipts or documentation to initiate a dispute.

Does The Washington offer reservations or event bookings that could result in deposits or larger charges?

Yes. The Washington may host private events or reserved gatherings that can require deposits, minimum spend commitments, or pre-authorized amounts. These can appear as larger single charges. If you or someone in your party arranged an event, confirm the agreed pricing and deposit terms with the bar and compare them with the posted transaction.

How can I contact The Washington if I don’t recognize a charge?

Visit thewashington.la to find the venue’s current phone number and email address. When you reach out, have your card statement handy with the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can quickly investigate and confirm whether the charge originated from their bar.
