About Also Known As
Also Known As is a live music bar at 54-56 Parson's St in Banbury, pairing a stage with a kitchen and a cocktail list. Live music sits alongside the food, so a night out can cover a drink, a meal and a gig under one roof. The menu centres on burgers and pizza, which gives groups and couples a choice of mains before or during the music. The bar side serves cocktails, and the business is also classed as a restaurant, so eating in is part of the offer rather than an afterthought.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza and burgers lead the praise, with reviewers calling the pizzas good and the place cool. Cocktails and well priced beer and wine come close behind, and the chilled, quirky room is described as brilliant for live music on the right nights. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who stood at the bar ignored by staff despite speaking up, and called them arrogant.

“Refused to accept my LEGAL id it is a totum id, as an IMMIGRANT It is literally the only ID I carry because I worry about losing my passport. I'm so so upset by that way I was treated by the bouncers and it completely messed up my friends birthday party. I will not be visiting here ever again”

“What a lovely hotel from arrival at the reception excellent service check inn was so smooth staff absolutely amazing. The room perfect for our 2 year old daughter plenty of space and the views from the balcony out of this world palm trees pool good vibe. Breakfast is the best I have ever experienced they even have a special counter just for your eggs and the buffet is full of tastes from around the world first class. The pool and play gave us hours of entertainment free towels and the bar staff served us cocktails and snacks unbeatable for choices . Praew who never stopped being so kind all day helping with our daughter and serving food and drinks with such a big smile all the staff were amazing.”
