Payment taken but still showing pending

Went into a bar last Thurs and bought 3 seperate drinks. Contactless each time and no issues with them being rejected. All 3 showing as pending as expected. Few days later the 3 showed as taken online. Perfectly normal

However there is still 1 payment showing as pending. Not been taken out of my account just stuck in pending since then. Its like all 3 payments were taken, but for some reason 1 didnt get removed from pending. I assume after 5 days or so it will drop off?

Anyone had this before? I've had duplicate pending payments that never get taken so drop off after 5 days or so, but never this

    This occasionally happens with my American Express card. The spurious pending transaction usually drops off after a few days.

    Happens to my MBNA if the initial payment was rejected but subsequently goes through. It usally drops off days after.
