Oxford Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Daniel Tissot
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!
5 Star Review by Elizabeth Chandler
I love going to The Oxford Hotel, Penny, Chris and Victor are always welcoming and friendly. After I had knee surgery and went for a meal on crutches Penny went out of her way to make sure I was okay, got me a chair with a back on it so I was comfortable. Brought my drinks to me so I didn't have to get up and down all the time. I can not thank her enough for her help and making me feel safe. I always have an awesome time when I go. Great Venue and great staff. Love The Oxford

We absolutely love this venue, especially on a Friday night. We pop in for a good meal & drink. Staff are wonderful. Clean venue. Nice crowd. Im not posting a photo of the interior for privacy of patrons. If you are LGBTQI+ or an ally, definitely check this place out
5 Star Review by Ericka Martinelli
The most amazing venue. Compliments to the security team especially Ali and Mitch from safeguard security. They were amazing and when I felt uncomfortable they kept me safe and removed unsavoury aggressive patrons and handled the situation professionally and effectively. Incredible team on hand at front doors. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Good price quality for a nice meal. Friendly staff. The dressing of the salad could be a little bit less.

Service is always lightening fast, Youre never left waiting for food or drinks and the bartenders are amazing at what they do. Chris, the guy with long black curly hair, is always smiling and so welcoming. He always adds such great energy to the night every single time Ive been and is absolutely hilarious!
