The Oxford Scholar

  • Pub
  • Casual dining

Established in 1857, during the heady days of the Victorian gold rush, The Oxford Scholar Hotel has served Melburnians at the northern-end of Swanston Street for more than 160 years.

It has been redeveloped, refurbished and re-imagined as a sophisticated bar and eatery, situated in the heart of RMIT City campus.

It offers a relaxed, comfortable and sophisticated experience for its patrons. Diners can expect a wide selection of both local and international sourced craft beers, cider and wine, paired with a menu showcasing fresh locally sourced produce through innovative and seasonally appropriate dishes.
