It’s with a heavy heart that we announce our lease is up at the Oxford Tavern.
This pub has always held a special place in our heart—a space for our people to march to the beat of their own drum, and create the wild and wonderful, q***r-coloured programming that resonated with the Inner West. It was a saving grace for us, and a lot of people in the industry, through two (or three?) lockdowns, with our Tav Delivers stint, and a lot of that drew us even closer to the community.
The pub has a rich history, and we are grateful to have operated the place as an inclusive Petersham local, and a q***r institution. We’re proud of everything we’ve put into the Tav. It’s been a wild ride, but the time has come to end this chapter.
This coming Sunday, 2 April, will be our final day of trade before handing over the reins. For a bit of fun, we’ll be running out the kegs, spirits, and other good stuff, in a glorious toast to a glorious pub. We would love to see everyone here for a final drink. ❤️
