The Oxford Scholar Hotel

Established in 1857 during the Victorian gold rush, The Oxford Scholar Hotel has been a fixture in Melbourne for over 160 years, located at the northern end of Swanston Street.

In 2019, ‘The Scholar’ was reimagined into a vibrant bar and eatery at the heart of the newly revamped RMIT City campus. With modern bar, dining, and event spaces, it offers a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. We proudly serve a diverse range of local and international craft beers, paired with a menu that features seasonal, innovative dishes alongside beloved pub classics, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From study session fuel to sophisticated business lunches, upscale private dinners, or simply a serving of hot chips, we’ve got the perfect food for every occasion.

The Scholar is designed for flexibility and increased capacity, making it the ideal venue for any event, supported by our dedicated and attentive event team. We partner with top independent Australian craft breweries to offer an ever-changing tap selection that will keep you coming back.
