Oxford 152

Always take my mother here for her birthday and she always has a wonderful time, she grew up in the area and has seen it change so much, food is always so good and cooked perfectly.. absolutely delicious! Cocktails are reasonably priced and also very delicious! A very big thank you to all the waiters and the chefs, you should all be very proud of yourselves for all the hard work and effort you put into making your guests have and amazing experience at your establishment

Overview
The Oxford 152 is a popular pub bistro in the heart of the Bulimba dining and entertainment hub, on the corner of Oxford and Wambool Streets.

Food
My wife and I dined, and we kept it simple, ordering a chicken supreme with a side of fried onions rings, and a poke bowl. Wow, this food was sensational. The chicken was tasty, plumb and tender and cooked to perfection. It was accompanied by an interesting and varied selection of sides including sundried tomatoes, camembert cheese, chat potatoes, fresh broccolini, with the whole dish drenched in a creamy lemon thyme sauce. The poke bowl was a winner too. It was chock full of wholesome and nutritious ingredients, including rice, carrots, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, sprouts, spinach, pickle ginger, sesame seeds and mayo. The onion rings were nice and crispy on the outside. Serving sizes were generous. For our liquid refreshment, I ordered the beer special of the night, which was a schooner of Hahn Super Dry, and my wife ordered her favourite pina colada, which was a bit of a disappointment, as it was only half full.

Service
The staff at the Oxford 152 are a credit to the ALH Hotels Group, to which this venue belongs. They were smartly dressed, professional in their attitude and provided excellent service. We were warmly greeted by the friendly maître d when we arrived, and our booked table was ready for us in a nice spot against the back wall. Despite the crowds, the drinks and food were delivered quickly, and all staff members including the security guy at the front door, were helpful, polite, and patient.

Ambience
We dined on a Saturday night in early January, and the place was pretty full, giving it a fun, lively, and energetic vibe. There are multiple dining areas, inside and outside. It’s bright and well lit, with an airy, spacious and comfortable ambience. However, we were placed next to a rather loud and inconsiderate family table, which made it a bit noisy, but I guess that this is to be expected on a Saturday night during the holiday season.

Cost
After our Monty’s Rewards Club discount of 5%, and the 1.5% “card processing fee”, we paid a touch under 80, and that included two beers, a cocktail, two main dishes and one side dish. That’s not bad value for money in this era of hyperinflation, given the extremely high quality of the food, outstanding service and pleasant ambience.

Toilets
The venue has clean and well maintained toilets just in front of the gaming lounge, with ample male and female cubicles.

Parking
Being a busy Saturday night we struggled a bit to find parking. After driving around for a while, we eventually found a spot about half way up Wambool Street, a rather steep street, so it was quite a hike on a full stomach afterwards. It would be useful if the venue put up some parking info for first time visitors, on its website.

Summary
Overall, we had a fabulous night at the Oxford 152, and everything ran smoothly for us. The food was outstanding, the service was fast, friendly, and polite, and we loved the cool, relaxed, and casual atmosphere. We would definitely consider returning to this venue in the future.

Attended a 21st on the weekend in the outdoor function area, the food was amazing and the bar tenders Grace and Piper were so kind and patient. Had lots of fun in the inside space afterwards as well. Overall great venue for any type of occasion.

I had the best experience here last night! I cannot recommend Thomas high enough for his service behind the bar. He was warm, welcoming and created a positive personal experience for a memorable night. Thanks Tom!

Had a wonderful dinner at Oxford 152. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender, delicious. Salmon was beautiful. Service was great. Thanks to the team, we will be back.

I attended a 21st at the Oxford 152 out the back in the entertaining space. It was such a vibey and spacious location to have a variety of different people socialising. Having a separate bar was awesome and having Grace and Piper as the bartenders was even better. We couldn't have asked for more positive and accommodating girls to be serving our drinks. These girls really know how to make drinks!

Far and away my favourite watering hole on Oxford St. Friendly staff, great service and an excellent, well priced food menu. Highly recommended if you’re a local or just passing through beautiful Bulimba. My friends and family have been coming here for years now and always enjoy the experience.

Good food and beer with excellent service in a great, casual, open-air atmosphere. I really enjoyed my time here.

Cannot rate this place any less than 5 stars. Just had my 21st here and really need to shout out 3 amazing people. Timykah - was so organised and punctual organising everything for me. I came on the day and everything was set up exactly how I planned. Grace and Piper (our beautiful amazing bartenders) genuinely words can’t explain how amazing these 2 girls were. It felt like there were just apart of the party and brought so much fun to the event!! They went above and beyond for me and all of my guests - can’t thank them enough, you guys were amazing 🥰 The food, drink and space was so beautiful! Thanks Oxford 152, you guys are amazing.

The service and quality of staff here are exceptional. They go over and beyond to make sure you are looked after and feel important. Bobby in particular is very kind and accommodating. I can also vouch for the venue manager who is a beautiful human. You won't regret your experience coming here. Thank you, Amanda

Had a lovely experience with Grace and Piper last Saturday as they provided service for us for a 21st. Extremely kind, helpful and hard working.

Family meal with 19 people was excellent. Special thanks to Bobbie for arranging the changing numbers in the day prior - bent over backwards. And to Grace for being thoughtful and helpful with the birthday celebration. Food was excellent and well priced and service exceptional. Will return.

Served by James, was very impressed by his customer service skills, greeted us politely and made us feel welcome. Gave info into some popular menu items and we were impressed with the quality of the food. Nina was also very welcoming and useful. Overall great experience will be coming more often.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Christmas lunch event provided by Oxford 152. It was absolutely perfect! Food, service, atmosphere..but I would like to compliment and thank Bernie, who managed the day. I would highly recommend Oxford 152 in general, but also for the amazing events they provide. It was a perfect day!

Andrea.

The Bartender Emily was an amazing. She brought a very fun experience and life to our evening with her kind and enthusiastic personality. She seems like a very committed employee, she even took time out of her break to come and sit with my group and get to know us better. Customer service 10/10.

Come here regularly with my mates and the team here is a delight, however this 5 star review is for the consistently great service we always receive from Shannon.
Shannon is always super friendly and attentive, every time has been service with a smile and even a laugh too. Shannon’s knowledge of the menu was great and our meals have been delicious - Shannon is a real asset to Oxford 152, highly recommend 5 stars!

Nice bar with some good options. Maybe a bit trendy for an old fella like me but I did enjoy my visit. Tis close to work so I suppose I would be going again in the near future. Parking was a bit of a problem but the bar validates your ticket.
