The Oxford Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

Staff issues at this hotel as described below in other reviews. After two rounds of drinks with three friends, one of the friends went for another round but made the fatal mistake of asking for a "double scotch and coke" and was refused by the woman behind the bar. He came back and told us and we couldn't believe it. The same woman came around to collect glasses a couple of minutes later and I asked her why she had refused to serve the drink as requested. Another fatal error. She said my friend had had enough to drink. As a doctor, I asked how she could tell given that he wasn't slurring his speech, his eyes weren't bloodshot, he was walking straight and his language was coherent. She said it was her call under the responsible service of alcohol policy. I made the comment that he clearly wasn't drunk to which she simply lifted her lapel and called the burly security guard to have us removed. Yes, she won, but she won dirty as they say in the movies. If management read this, please review the CCTV footage of our group and you will see we were not loud, not abusive, but simply having a good conversation. Watch how the woman just had to prove her point by showing how much power she had despite that point being wrong. My partner and I have been going to that bar for years. Once every month or so. Obviously we won't be going there again. As we were escorted out of the bar we could see across the street, Stonewall Hotel. It was packed to the rafters. I...

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...

Went there today with my wife and my 1yo daughter in the afternoon for a quick late lunch.

The waiter together with another guy sitting at a table immediately started yelling and shouting at us that children are not allowed and we must le ave now. No explanation whatsoever, just kicking us out asap.

We were totally overwhelmed from the situation that we did leave without any further question.

That situation feels ashamed that have a baby, as if we have done anything wrong. That was absolutely intolerant from these guys and I hope they will think about their behavior and in what way they were treating us and if they want to be treated like this.

Besides the fact that this is the first pub/hotel in sydney in weeks that would not serve us coming with a baby, they could have spoken to us normally and explain that they want to be an adults only pub. But freaking out leaves us with a really bad feeling.

So no...
