About Oxford Scholar

Established in 1857 during the Victorian gold rush, it’s one of Melbourne’s longest-running pubs.

Redeveloped in 2019 by March Studio, with a stylish interior revamp including brass, timber, exposed brickwork, booth seating, high tables, and a glass-ceiling amphitheatre-style space, centred on a tweed theme.

It is a meeting spot for students, RMIT staff, and city workers, thanks to its proximity to campus, offering a 15?% RMIT discount.

Casual, welcoming atmosphere with polished pub charm; light and spacious with modern finishes yet retaining that traditional pub comfort.

Frequently recognised as a top CBD pub, ideal for lunch, after-work drinks, trivia nights, or relaxed dinner catch-ups.

Drink selection: Rotating Australian and international craft beers alongside familiar staples like Carlton Draught; $10 pints from breweries like Mountain Culture, plus cocktails and wines
Pub-style menu: Modern takes on pub classics like chicken parmigiana, burgers, salads, chips, poutine, and student-favourite award-winning parmas.

Front Bar, Atrium, Back Bar, Level 2 private lounge ideal for casual gatherings or private functions. Popular for student club events, trivia nights, and corporate functions, with event offerings often praised for friendly service and flexibility.
