Why was this place deserted on a Sunday afternoon? I can't quite figure it out, but it gave me a…read morerare chance to sit and chat with the owner. First off, if anyone remembers the ill-fated Steady Habit Brewing Company in/around Higganum, well, there's no relation. Instead, this is a glorified taproom on the edge of downtown Shelton, near the south-central part of this state we affectionately call The Land of Steady Habits. Minutes from Routes 8 and 34, they serve a wide selection of fine local- and Connecticut-made beers, wines, and spirits, as well as some appetizers and light lunch fare, with a pizza oven waiting to be hooked up as of this writing. I picked a beer from one of my regular Danbury hangouts, Charter Oak Brewing Company. The draft beer tasted just as fresh as if Scott or Michelle had poured it themselves. Steady Habits must keep their beer cold and their tap lines spotless! I don't normally go for a grilled cheese sandwich, but with me not being super-hungry today, I went for it. This seems to be their de facto specialty (for now -- remember, pizza oven being assembled), and I've got to say, it does not disappoint! I ordered it Cuban-style, with ham, pickles, and pepper jack cheese. The ham was missing and the pickles were on the side, but the sandwich quickly went back and returned with the forgotten meat browned and inserted (and comped!) with an honest apology, then I added as many pickles as I wanted and gave the rest to my girlfriend, which she appreciated. I've got to say, that was one of the best grilled cheeses I've had in quite some time! The chips were a nice accompaniment, as fries and beer are a recipe for feeling bloated. There are no paper menus, only QR codes, so don't leave your phone in the car! (Hopefully they have free Wi-Fi for the LTE-challenged. I forget.) On the bright side, their web menu tells you instantly what's on tap and what's kicked! Well-played! The bar service is almost instantaneous when you're the only patrons; not sure how it is when they're packed to their sizable capacity. We were looking for a meal and a beer, so we didn't partake in watching the football game, sitting around a big table with friends, or trying out the arcade games. There aren't any breweries in Shelton, and while Bad Sons in Derby is awesome but seems to be constantly packed, Steady Habits will surely become one of my steady habits whenever my travels take me this way.

Cute little spot to try local drinks. Parking can be a bit tough as they don't have their own lot…read more Menu is pretty limited food wise but they do have a few meals. We snacked on the pretzel bites which tasted like they were microwaved and doused with butter. The server was friendly and checked in often The drink menu is extensive but pretty light on bourbon or whiskey options It's more a wine beer vodka place The flight pours were a good Amt Love music was a nice touch The concrete floors were a bit stained and the bar was sticky The popular popcorn was unavailable for us to try They do take credit card

As first time visitors, the flavor selection for the wings was pretty overwhelming - we asked for recommendations. I can't remember what everyone got, but I ordered the 10 piece Maple Buffalo. The wings were crispy and the flavor was great - the spice wasn't overwhelming and the maple was subtle. If the drive wasn't far, I'd be here more often!

We did the happy hour menu - we ordered the fried calamari, which I do not like but wanted to try, and it was delicious! Along with the fuego sauce. It was crispy and not chewy at all. Also ordered the beef sliders on brioche buns. They were tasy as well! We also got the pork belly - tostones, red onion, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice . I personally did not enjoy this, but my bestie's did. We had such a great time and will definitely be back for a nice dinner.

I knew from Kindred Spirits that 90+ was a nice wine to drink and cook. I was also looking for a red. I've been losing my taste for red wines. I've always bought Woodbridge, Mondavi and Josh. K.S. recommended Trecciaia Toscana. It's from Italy. Very nice wine. Not fruity or red blend. It's a nice pairing with cheese and steak dinner. I do a lot of cooking and baking. K.S. has helped me come up with different desserts just by suggesting a liquor. I highly recommend K.S. for all entertaining needs
