Great bar with super cold beer. Had 2 cheeky pints while out shopping with my daughter. This place saved my sanity and opened my wallet a little more for her lol. Great selection of cold beer's and really nice friendly service. Nice and clean amenities.

Fantastic option for a generous and delicious pub feed, we got a Chicken Parma, Porterhouse Steak, Cheeseburger, Spice Bag and Mac and Cheese bites, each item was a generous portion, and everything was excellently prepared and served, perfectly seasoned chips, great accompanying… sauces, well dressed salads, will definitely be back and recommending to others! Plus $10 pints of Mountain Culture beer
The Oxford Scholar has a beautiful atmosphere and the place looks amazing. Itu2019s a little more expensive compared to other pubs, but overall it was a great experience. I really enjoyed the vibe.
Very functional, efficient bar. It has everything you could want. The vibe for me was 'cautious, committee design' meaning it felt like a franchise. No criticism more an observation of something you rarely see. I ordered a Guinness and it was poured 100% right. Well worth the… wait.
The food all looking really good! Mentally prepared that most of the protein is deep fried. I ordered prawn tacos, tasted amazing! The prawns are battered and deep fried. I like how crispy the tacos are, paired with pickled red onions to balance the grease. Also the wait time… is long. Our team of 6 waited for about 20’ or so for all of our dishes to come out (peak lunch hour 12:30-1:15).
Update: I came back in Sept, ordered a chicken parma and Shirley temple for drink. The wait is still long 15-20 mins for food and they forgot my drink hahaa. It would be nice if they have takeaway cup for
