The Oxford Scholar

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. For bigger gatherings and celebrations of up to 160 guests, you can merge the Back Bar and the Atrium. These two sections make up the entire back portion of the venue. The combined space is roped off, giving your guests exclusive access to the Back Bar for drinks service. Additionally, a 55-inch Smart TV is available for your entertainment needs. The Back Bar and Atrium are perfect for: Cocktail Party venue Melbourne | Birthday venue Melbourne | Engagement party venue Melbourne | Networking venue Melbourne | Corporate Function venue Melbourne | Christmas Party venue Melbourne
