Reviewers – Lee, Nikki & Stefo

A lot of people reading this review right now will have fond memories of the Oxford Scholar. Either you were an RMIT student or had a mate that was an RMIT student that dragged you down on one day or another for their cheap beers, big TV screens and one of the many cheap food nights on offer to feed the starving uni student.

We visited the Scholar back in 2013, a couple of years before they closed their doors. It was cheap and nasty (Monday was $12 parma night and it was $16 usually) yet it always had a bit of charm. Always welcoming, It was a cosy dive that stressed out students could grab a beer, watch the footy and get a cheap feed if only to escape from their annoying roommate for a few hours.

Then in 2017 the Scholar closed its doors, (apparently) due to works on the Metro tunnel driving away their clientele they just couldn’t afford to keep the doors open.
