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

This pub has the advantage of being open to 6 am in the morning. A great place to move your late party.

Lots of bright rainbow colors supporting the local community. The outdoor area is nice but used by smokers. Not pleasant for non smokers.

Music was ok. Service was good. They had milk at the bar (nor all bars do milk for mixers).

The locals and the vibe was fun. I would go back.

Toilet were ok, noting for how late at night it was.

$9 tap beer's is just wrong. No wonder the place had more staff than customers. Although I must say it was very clean, no line at the bar, but almost fell over when changed 9 bucks for a glass of beer. Staff seemed friendly enough. Nice outdoor seating area looking out to Taylor square.

This pub has been progressively getting worse for a while and now combined with the aggressive and arrogant security staff on a Saturday night, it's time to take my money elsewhere.

The bar staff will willingly serve you a drink and take your money and next thing the overtly aggressive door security staff kick you out!! Thanks for nothing and if I'm allegedly so intoxicated to be asked to leave, don't sell me a drink and take my money in the first place.

Done with it and no more, time for this place to close forever.

The staff of this place are great people and the vibe is nice too. Even the security seemed polite and professional. Unfortunately, one of the managers - Sam - the bald guy with glasses is extremely rude. The club downstairs was not operational yet the door was open so my friends and I decided to go and sit there with some drinks to have a nice chat in the quiet. The manager came about an hour later and told us to vacate not just the room but the premises. While agreeing to leave the club downstairs, when I asked them why we should vacate the premises despite it being their fault for leaving the door to the club downstairs open and us not doing anything wrong while we were there, he sarcastically asked if we were "Stupid to think the bar looked open".

I hope someone replaces the manager soon as the venue is definitely getting a bad reputation due to his rudeness.

Never coming back here again.

Sunday night between 5-9 see some fabulous lip syncing drag queens, eat some delicious food, drink some bevy's dance to some tunes and enjoy. I highly recommend it Penny, Dj Shane, Keira and Champagne.... Thank you for a fun night ... big love to you all ??'-??'-??'-

I went to underground and it was nice place for party. Would be nice if there was one more bartender... cos we had to wait way too long to get served but other than that it was great night

Thank you for having eggplant schnitzel! ? One of very few venues around here that has something other than a god damn salad for people that don't eat meat.

Would love to get a non-mushroom, veggie patty burger to be added to the menu next.

The female bar tender was AMAZING and so helpful, as I am on a Disability Scooter. Even gave my Carer and I, our 1st drink. The way the staff assisted me and other disabled older people, were just 100%.

The Chicken Snitzal was very hard and over-cooked but the chips were nice.

This was my 1st visit in 40 years, after being house bound, due to Disability.

Had a great time! The Sunday afternoon was chilled and relaxing, not too many people, so it was really easy to have a conversation. There was plenty of space on the deck where I had a fantastic meal! I ordered steak and my friend had a burger, both were great! Later in the afternoon/evening, it got busier with the shows, which are always great!! Def go if you want great food, atmosphere and entertainment. If you want it a bit quieter, just go earlier in the day.

Great experience right from the first step into the premises. I asked what's upstairs and got a very friendly and welcoming reply and quick intro. Music was great. Place was clean and overall vibe was very welcoming.

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. I'm not posting a photo of the interior for privacy of patrons. If you are LGBTQI+ or an ally, definitely check this place out

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

Always have a great night out here. Penny is amazing - regardless of coming in with just a few people or in a large group she makes you feel welcome. Can also recommend her Trivia on a Wednesday night - lots of laughs and a great time.

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

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.

The Oxford hosted my birthday party at the last moment and I could not have been happier. From the security man who introduced himself on the way in, to all the staff, DJ and drag queens, it was a magnificent night and I cannot thank you enough. Everyone had the best night!

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!

Toilets are blocked up most of the time. Bar staff are great except when you go upstairs and are served by the drag queens. So much attitude. Food-wise, nothing much to write home about. Pretty bad pub grub with schnitzel sauces made out of a packet and just add water kind of thing. But I guess people are not really coming here for the food. Happy hour is great though.

Was not expecting the food to be so good!
Would honestly go back just to eat. Forget the amazing drag shows and dancing on top of that :)

Good service. Always clean.
Friendly Staff.
Happy Hours are good value.

I was denied entry just over one hour ago by the Neanderthal who was talking to a mate. It was 7.15pm, I had not consumed any alcohol, but was assumed to be intoxicated. Im lucky that I am not a regular, The IQ of front door staff can be represented on one hand, owners must be really proud.

Generous meals in a happy environment. Great if you want to transition to some drinks and dance.

If you're.comming here for a relatively quiet drink then this seems to be the only iconic destination on the formerly once-so-golden-mile for drinkers of the gay persuation. The service is fast amd friendly, the menu is eclectic enough to offer almost everyone options, but small enough for solid consistency once you've settled on your favourite. You always know what you're going to get when younorder. Check the website of the rota of drag performances the venue hosts. Also a must to be had experience. #PCDinOz

fun and amazing atmosphere. but most of all, great to be dancing again. good to catch a show upstairs as well!

Excellent staff and really doing a good job despite ongoing Covid restrictions. Security guard was really nice and friendly but handled issues professionally as they popped up. Drag queens were very funny. Upstairs on middle level is nice for special events or private functionsbon top floor in the polo lounge.

This place has really shaped up in 2020. Find myself going here on weekends and maybe a Sunday for a few pints. Michael the bartender is the best there is. Cute and polite. Upstairs drag is a nice treat!

Happy hour 5-7 can be quite busy. House wine and beers, $4.50, not a bad deal. But shortly after 7, the place empties out. I think if they extended happy hour to 8, or changed 6-8 pm, they might find crowds stay and buy food instead of leaving and going to a restaurant or home.

Great Covidsafe setup with table service and e-menu ordering. Bruschetta was amazing, however as with any pub ordered steak, it's hit and miss and mine was overcooked. It was still a good quality though.If you stick around and head upstairs, you can catch some of Sydney's best drag artists, which I highly recommend! Lots of fun.

Staff nice and helpful nice crowd
