After an amazing debut visit to AKA, the Rubix boys are back for one more party to round off the Summer in style.
... Yet again, The Rubix Residents (Cover3 & Sam Edwards) will be bringing all their Disco and House bangers to give you the perfect excuse for one more big night out before everyone heads back for uni.
See you on the dancefloor!
***Sam Edwards*** Local boy Sam has been making waves in Birmingham, working his way into the Tektu and Vibe Guys families. This success has taken him international as you will find Sam gracing the stage at Budafest later this year...
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/samedwardsdj
****Cover3*** New to the game, but by no means rookies, Cover3 are the newest addition to Oxford’s underground scene. Often found playing alongside Rubix’s other co-owner Sam Edwards, these two can take you through groovy disco to heavy tech, and everything in-between.

Yesterday myself and 9 other girls went for the pizza and prosecco for £20...

I can honestly say that the pizza and fizz did not stop flowing. The service was fab and friendly. The offer lasts for 2 hours, the girls were stuffed and had to turn some down. After the two hours our glasses were filled and we were taken to a table towards the back of the pub. We were also all given a bottle of water during the experience. Amazing value and great fun would defiantly go again.�

Cocktails are to die for, I would recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely amazing. 5 stars aren't enough ��

Went to see Little Brother Eli tonight. Such a great band. Great to see them in Banbury at last. My wife and I got in earlier so we had an aka pizza and I got to try the new Bud Light “ Dilly Dilly” will be back again :)

User

Pizza and Prosecco evening is highly recommended. Couldn't fault it. Incredibly generous and more than worth the £20. A constant flow of both pizza and prosecco. Lots of different pizzas to choose from. Well done AKA and extra well done to the staff on duty. Very attentive!!

User

One of the best music venues I've been to. Love everything from the decor to the drinks. Recommend this place 100%

User

Love this place with all its quirkiness and always have a lovely time with my gorgeous family and they do some gorgeous cocktails and fruit juices

I went to AKA with a few friends last night after a very stressful evening at work and had an amazing time the selection of beers and spirits are second to no one in Banbury town. The venue had a great warming atmosphere and that is reflected in its excellent bar staff, the gent that served us was great approachable and very knowledgeable about all products on display (its a huge display) and very impressive dispite the fact he was on his own serving 30+ people bit was still welcoming to all us he served. This a great venue!

User

I performed here Friday night and loved every minute of it! It's such a cool, quirky gem of a venue. Perfect for a drink and chat or to enjoy live music. I'll definitely be back.

Can be tricky to get served during peak times but plenty of wacky seating available, clean toilets, good food, great sound system and stage space for music events.
