Sly Bandit Brewing Company

This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I never heard about Sly Bandit before, so I decided to pay a visit while in the area. The brewery occupies its own modern building with a big parking lot. The first floor is dedicated to the fermentation tanks, while the taproom is located on the second floor - there is an elevator available. The place is not big, but cozy. It has a full kitchen. I ordered a flatbread, a sandwich and mac and cheese for kids and we enjoyed everything. The brewery is family-operated, so at some days you can see two generations of owners onsite. I had a pleasure of chatting a lot with one of the owners - Mike - for the majority of my stay at the brewery. There were 17 taps available during my visit with an option of purchasing a beer flight of

Fun new little spot next to the Walmart on the Wilton / Norwalk border. Industrial feel with concrete floors, hard wooden furniture, open ceilings and an overall minimalist decor. Best part of the whole experience were the staff. Very friendly and attentive with good sense of humor and engagement. Beer is decent. I wouldn’t drive too far out of your way, but a nice selection of pilsners, IPAs, Hazys and some porters. Food is the same - decent but overall quite expensive with small portions. We got the eggrolls which were good but quite demure in stature. Lacked both girth and length but were well stuffed and the flavor and crispiness were on point. The Wurst was really tasty, very smoky and great fattiness. Definitely smaller than I was imagining. Chicken sandwich was decent but also reall

Here’s a polished, friendly Google review you can post: First visit and it was amazing. The question “how much did you spend per person?” really depends on how many delicious beers you enjoy 😊 The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the beers are some of the best in the area, and the food was delicious. We stopped in to get a stamp on our 2026 passport and I’m so glad we did. You can truly feel the love and care the owner has for this place—it makes you want to stay and come back again. Plenty of parking and right on Main Street, which makes it easy to visit. We will absolutely be back. A+++

A little lacking on the atmosphere. Tried a flight of IPAs, not a huge difference from beer to beer. Appetizers are what you would expect for good bar apps. All in all, a good pop-in spot but a little stale.

Loved this brewery!! Cute, clean space. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty. We have a CT beer passport book that brought us there. Parking lot was a good size and easily accessible. The staff was so sweet and attentive. Seating was open and they served you at the table. A handful of beers on tap with a mix of options. They have a full menu and my boyfriend and I had the tacos - chicken and pulled pork, which were both delicious! Great sized portions. We also loved their logo, super cute design. I would love to see their space busier on a Saturday afternoon! If you drive by, consider stopping by for some great vibes.
