Also Known As, Banbury

Bucking Fastard left this review about Also Known As

Modern,younger persons bar set in a former retail outlet.It's all very on trend inside with a mismatch of furniture,a long bar while beyond in an area under a vaulted opaque glass ceiling with glitter balls there is to the left unusual seating booths with steps to some seats above the booths,and opposite a small stage or mixing desk area.The size of the speakers indicates that music will be turned up to 11 at time,however a cool soundtrack was playing at a sensible volume on my Wednesday evening visit.There are tea lights everywhere,it's dark and moody with the gents upstairs at the far end.
The bar has a series of keg taps but no beer menu.I asked the barman what was on but he asked me did I want lager,then started telling me how good Camden Town beers were,I couldnt be bothered to argue.The best option seems Goose Island Midway (just ok,£4.80) but that's not much to write home about.
It's not really a place for me,there were some older geezers inside but it's really for hipsters.There aren't many hipsters in Banbury,and I can see no reason to revisit.
