Top CBD Bars

Established in 1857 during the Victorian gold rush, The Oxford Scholar Hotel has been a beloved fixture at the northern end of Swanston Street for over 160 years. Now re-imagined as a sophisticated bar and eatery in the heart of the RMIT City campus, it combines historical charm with contemporary flair.

They offer a wide selection of Australian craft beers and domestic favourites. Their menu features exceptional takes on pub classics, seasonal specials, and nightly promotions, ensuring every visit is a delightful experience.

The Oxford Scholar's location on campus means they emphasize great value, aiming not only to students & university staffers, but also to city workers, tradies and regular patrons, who appreciate their great deals and welcoming atmosphere.

Their modern bar areas are perfect for casual drinks or bustling trivia nights, while The Atrium is ideal for larger social events and private parties. With a focus on flexibility and larger capacities, The Oxford Scholar's venue can host various functions, supported by our experienced and dedicated event staff.
