The Oxford Tavern

Southern USA-inspired pub grub.

One year and a bit in The Oxford Tavern has settled in to being a firm legendary local boozer. Winner of the Best New Pub Award at the Bartender Awards, we are a minute's walk from Petersham train station which is just 8 minutes from Central Station. . . CONVENIENT! ! On the menu are Asado Steak tacos , a hickory burger, amazing buffalo cauliflower balls, a 3 x 3 Quesadilla and Chook San Choy Bow (yes). It's not all fancy pants though. All the pub staples are stage side too- stadium sized double dogs, sausages & sauerkraut, steaks, and schnitzels. Black Betty is the Tavern’s custom-built steel drum smoker and serves smoked brisket, pulled pork, dino beef ribs, smoked sausage plus lots more every Friday night, Saturday and Sunday lunch until it's all gone - which is usually a couple of hours.
Pull up a stool and get busy drinking. There is a huge beer selection. If you don't like beer, that's cool. There's plenty of beer and there is also some beer to choose from. Do you cocktail? Take a Slow Dazzle (Black Strap Rum, Campari, Lime, Pineapple), wear a Black Velvet (Stout & Champagne), relax in a Banana Hammock (Sugar Cane, Rye, Banana, Lime), or witness A Swinging Tit (Pisco, Sage, Hibiscus, Pineapple). Plus a throwback wine list to help you reek of the seventies.
There are weekly specials like steak night, ladies night, double doawgs and $10 burgers as well as pool tables! Something for everyone, all the time.
The Oxford Tavern is open seven days a week, from 12pm till late with Rita’s staying open til 3am Fridays & Saturdays with music - it's gewd!
