Sly Bandit has been operating in their South Wilton location (14 Danbury Rd) since last summer, and we finally got a chance to visit it last Sunday night. The ground floor is the actual brewery: the pub is upstairs. And yes, there is an elevator.
The beer list changes almost daily: here is the list last Sunday. We tried the Pilsener that time, and will work our way down the list in subsequent visits.
The food menu consists of Shareables like Buffalo chicken and soft pretzels, Flatbreads like Margherita, Spicy Italian and Pulled Pork. These come on triangles of flat bread on a cutting board. You can share them or make a meal of them. This time we had the Buffalo Chicken flatbread ($14), which comes with cheddar and gorgonzola cheese, hot sauce and lime crema. It was terrific, but way more than enough for one.
The main section is called Handhelds (they mean sandwiches) and in addition to a terrific hamburger which comes with fries, presalted with sea salt, they have a Wurst sandwich, a grilled cheese, tacos, fish tacos and salmon. This time we went for the burger ($16), but the Wurst and the pulled pork are calling out for next time.
There are also several salads, two Crockables: mac and cheese and chili and three desserts. We went for the Chocolate Mousse cake ($10.50) this time.
Sly Bandit is a great place to go for a quick meal or an evening. Service is fast and friendly. We’ll be back, and you should give it a try. They are open every night but Mondays. Wednesday through July 2 are Trivia nights, starting at 6:30.
