Established in 1857, during the heady days of the Victorian gold rush, The Oxford Scholar Hotel has for more than 160 years served Melburnians at the northern-end of Swanston Street.
In 2019 ‘The Scholar’ was redeveloped, refurbished and re-imagined as a bar and eatery, situated in the heart of the recently transformed RMIT City campus.
With the recent creation of a new bar, dining and event spaces, The Scholar offers a relaxed, comfortable and lively experience for its patrons. The Scholar features a wide selection of both local and international craft beer, while their menu selections are built upon locally sourced and fresh produce, offering innovative, seasonal dishes and pub classics.
Designed with inherent flexibility in mind, and boasting significant increases in capacity, a multitude of functions are able to be staged with the assistance of experienced, attentive and dedicated event staff.
The entire ground floor of The Oxford Scholar features a spacious wraparound bar that serves all areas within it. With a selection of 18 beers on tap, including a diverse range of Australian craft beers, there's something to suit every taste. The seating options include a mix of dining tables, high tables, booth seating, and bench seating, along with ample open space for your guests to move around comfortably. Exclusive hire of the venue can accommodate up to 300 people, and includes the use of wireless microphones, three 55" screens, an amphitheater stage, and a pool table for added entertainment options.
