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’ has been
redeveloped, refurbished and re-imagined as a
sophisticated bar and eatery, situated in the  heart of the
recently transformed RMIT City campus.

With the creation of a series of
new bar, dining and event spaces, The Scholar offers a
relaxed, comfortable and sophisticated experience
for its patrons. We feature a wide selection of both local
and international craft beer, while our menu selections are
built upon locally sourced and fresh produce, offering
innovative, seasonally appropriate and exceptional
dishes.

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.
 
We welcome everyone visiting Melbourne to experience
a new chapter in one of the City’s oldest stories.
