The Oxford Scholar

$20 Parma Chicken on Thursday after 4PM. $8.50 pints of the GOAT lager with student and nightly discount.

My favorite cheap spot for drinks and food I've found. Excellent bar with good seating, service, food, and drinks.

Really love the daily deals they have. Steak Tuesday is quite a bargain, almost half price from original and you get a good amount of food. The porterhouse wasn't the most tender and was a bit tough to chew through but the sauce helped. Chips were good, definitely worth a try.

$20 jugs of Goat, gets you 4 pots worth of beer. Great selection of drinks and upstairs hosting of Melbourne Comedy Festival shows! Was my first time here and had a nice experience with great behind bar team.
Note: no food ordered, so no review.

Thumbs up against the fight of tyranny. Beer tax in this country (on all levels) is an utter disgrace. The Oxford is doing it's best to fight it an offer beer to its RMIT clientele at the very best quality and price they can possibly deliver. I needed an answer to a question and the Manager of the Oxford and I got to chatting. This guy is one of the old.school publicans that cares about his patrons and teaches his staff the little things.like service and knowledge and pride of their product make a difference.
You can grab a pint on special here for $10 and it will be crisp and clean as you can tell the pipes are spotless, the temp is spot on, the glasses are spotless and cold and you will actually get a smile from the person who serves you.
It's so sad that this is something to crow about, but in this day and age this is a great deal from an establishment who appears to actually care. The food looked great and was well priced as well. Cheers all

I was here on Friday with a friend and I must say they have friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Ash who works there is so nice she’s served us for the night and I really enjoyed her vibes, I got the cheeseburger and chips and that was delicious!! the prices were reasonable. I’ll definitely be back! 😄🍽

New to RMIT and decided to try this bar. Loved the atmosphere of the bar and the diversity in it. The highlight of the night was when I was served by two gentlemen named Darcy and Cairo. The service these guys gave was spectacular! Some of the most uplifting bartenders in the city, kudos to them.

Will definitely be coming back for more pints after this experience.

This place is so good! I ordered the Pink spritz, and i watched them pull out this gigantic wine glass, It was so good tho. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend the pork loaded fried. There was so much meat and chips! Steak sandwhich was way bigger than i thought, too but really good. My partner had the fried chicken burger, which he said was fantasic. The table decor was really nice too and the people were so friendly!

An exceptional find in Melbourne, offering a superb selection on tap and a uniquely warm atmosphere, thanks to the welcoming presence of Cairo and Darcy. As an international student, finding a spot that feels like home is challenging, but this place has quickly become my go-to. The combination of friendly staff, great drinks, and a cozy vibe makes it a standout. Highly recommend.

We had our anniversary dinner (aka a low-key, intimate belated wedding dinner) at the event space on the 1st floor and everything panned out to be more than amazing!

We were able to fit 45 guests at 3 long tables with ample space remaining to mingle and move around. The bar was equipped with a great selection of drinks which the guests loved, and the food was especially so delicious, many guests were praising it to be one of the best meals they've had at a wedding dinner!

The events team were so great in recommending and collaborating with us to make our event a success, planning everything was a breeze! Last but not least, the staff on the night went above and beyond to make sure the night went well!

We had our work Christmas party at The Oxford Scholar last week, and I can't recommend them more! The venue is super close to public transport and secure parking, and is accessible via lift.

From the very start, my enquiries were answered promptly and it was an absolute pleasure working with Rebecca to organise the party - the whole process felt seamless and straightforward. Service on the night was impeccable, the food was delicious, they took dietary requirements into account, and the space looked beautiful - the staff even added Christmas decorations (example photo included)!

It's these extra touches that really makes The Oxford Scholar a beautiful venue. Don't miss out on an amazing venue for your next function!

I recently visited The Oxford Scholar, an old-style pub nestled in the heart of Melbourne, and I was thoroughly impressed. The pub’s charming, historic ambiance combined with its warm, welcoming staff made for a memorable experience. The food was delicious and the drink selection was excellent, showcasing a great variety of local brews and craft beers. The proximity (next door to Building 80) of RMIT University adds a vibrant, scholarly atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both students and professionals. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a classic pub experience in Melbourne! #OxfordScholar #MelbournePubs #HistoricCharm #softwareinstitute #netbuilder #johngdryden

Really enjoyed having a quality beer from the friendly bar staff whilst tucking into a parma. We followed this by attending a very entertaining comedy show upstairs.
Would recommend

We recently had a celebration in the private event space on the second floor and it was just perfect! The space was very well equipped, food and drinks were lovely and so were the staff. Highly recommend this space for any special celebration!

The oxford would be just your standard (but great) pub, except they put on fun trivia nights and daily specials of the most popular meals, not to mention a discount for rmit students and alumni. 100% recommend

It serves one of the best parma in the CBD. Combined with a large space with a variety of seating, vibrant atmosphere, range of ale and IPL... it's a perfect place to catch up with friends.

Great pub quiz, recommend booking for groups to get a table, cheap pints of larger.

A lovely club with cheerful and smiling staff, mostly young and energetic, I feel a scientific atmosphere because I am a science lover myself, I am really looking forward to maybe meeting Professor Hawking here.

Wonderful place to celebrate and spend time with friends, the drinks are very good especially the daily specials, the food is mostly good, I can recommend the steak and the spaghetti with meatballs!

Good Burger and sandwich, and an amazing selection of beers.
We really appreciated the chips seasoning

I f#cken love this place, it has a great vibe, awesome lighting, really well priced food AS WELL AS a student discount on already decent prices PLUS the food is always spot on, well presented and tastes f#cken amazing!

Sorry I didnt take a photo earlier to show how good it looked, I was super hungry!

The steak was super tender and tasted delicious with the mushroom gravy, not to mention the chips are the best I've ever had at a pub!
