About The Oxford Hotel

The Oxford Hotel is a century-old Darlinghurst pub and one of the anchors of Sydney's LGBTQ+ nightlife strip. Four distinct spaces let you shape the night: the street-level Oxford Bar and terrace, Ginger's upstairs, the Polo Lounge and the basement Oxford Underground. Come early for bistro food, a drink on the terrace or daily happy hour, then stay for drag, DJs and dancing as the venue shifts into late-night mode. It opens from 10am every day and runs until 4am Sunday to Thursday, extending to 6am on Friday and Saturday. The broad programme and layered layout make it an easy all-round choice for groups.

Chris the bartender was an absolute legend! Made us feel so welcome and knew our order after only one round! Don’t find staff like him often these days but he is killing it! Thankyou for an amazing night Chris! DJ Shane was awesome too! 10/10 recommendations for this place! ❤️

Last night I came for a spectacular spicy mango margherita, however today I ordered the same cocktail but they served me something different. I assumed it was the same cocktail but served differently, so I tasted it and it definitely wasn't the same. I told the Asian guy at the bar that it wasn't what I had ordered and he got very upset. He started banging things on the table in a fit of rage and reluctantly gave me the cocktail. He didn't even respond when I said thank you. It didn't taste exactly like last night's either, but it was a little closer. People like that aren't fit to serve customers. I never want that guy to serve me again...

Love this pub - great vibe! Nice staff members, very friendly. Great food options (not much vegetarian options though- very few sadly). Wide range of great cocktails. I go there very often and particularly sitting outside is a great place for a lazy Sunday. Highly recommend!

Update to my review below "So just paid $29 for a starter size pasta. Talk about a rip off. Never again will I purchase food here. Service was slow and unfriendly #oxfordhotel" The venue is great, staff are fantastic, best trivia in Sydney. If you are thinking of food at this venue, DON'T, over past months the kitchen was outsourced and the quality has gone downhill. Tonight ordered a rump steak medium rare and it was served over cooked, asked for chips and vegetables, no vegetables in the venue. Meal was served with salad. The kitchen has taken some staples off the menu. Sorry to say until the kitchen changes operator's I will not be back for food

Love the new and improved balcony. Adds a much needed classier and spacious feel. Also, Jimmy the manager is literally the heartbeat of this venue. Knows his locals and puts service at the heart of everything.
