Oxford Hotel - Pub Near Me in Darlinghurst New South Wales

Terrible experience on Friday night. We went out for a staff work party, and the security guards employed racial profiling when reviewing ID. They exclusively reviewed only the POC members of the group, and created an overall hostile environment. Once again, a terrible experience

Went to Oxford underground.
Friendly staff and nice vibe.

The seats for women's toilet is not enough...

Please be advised... use of the smokers terrace facing Oxford street is at patrons own risk, as it's a blind spot with no CCTV cameras. I was recently robbed of my personal property at the smokers terrace, and management was unable to assist with confirming footage prior to filing a police report as their cameras don't cover that area. A group of 5 dark islander guys were partying and one saw me in the bathroom briefly put down my d&g Sunglass case with the sunnies inside while washing my hands. I was followed back to the smoker terrace, and eventually, the offender walked past me in the confined area and strangely gave me a friendly 'hi I'm so drunk' hug' after which, I never saw those the sunnies again. The hug was misdirection / distraction while my Sunglass case was being swiped from my back pocket or the window counter behind me without me noticing. Two friends saw me with the Sunglass case in the smokers terrace prior to the strange random 'drunken' hug from the islander stranger, and inadvertently witnessed the crime taken place discreetly right under their very noses. I hope this party of petty crime thieves get caught and get banned from venues who do have their security in order. After this theft, I doubt I'll ever be coming back to this venue who happen to let in the riff raff.

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.
