They have a Happy Hour seven days a week, with several discounted beers, cocktails, and food items. Live entertainment is frequently offerred. The menus are pub & tavern style foods, and on Sundays they offer a nicely rounded brunch menu. Our bartender/server Ashley (who was servimg a busy bar and entire restaurant area alone) was focused and efficient and readily understood and embraced sarcasm from her tendees. The manager, Todd, was vigilant without being imposing, and obviously had a firm grip on the flow throughout the restaurant. I had the Barn Burger that was prepared and presented very nicely, and I chose the Caesar Salad over fries, which turned out to be the right choice as it was one of the best Caesar Salads I've ever had. The wife had the Frittata and loved it. We also split a Fondue Pub Chips - house made potato chips with several wonderful toppings.The signature cocktails were very different, priced well, and did the job. In totality, the experience was fantastic and I can see this place as the place everyone will want to be in 2026 and beyond. Operated by a group of restauranteurs that run several other chic restaurants in our area. UPDATE: We came back here five days later and I had a Pork Chop Scarpariello (excellent) and the wife had an Arthur Avenue Meatball Spring Roll with marinara sauce dip (amazingly good) and the Chinese Chicken Salad (excellent also).

I really enjoyed it, I should've asked for the dressing on the side, it wasn't my favorite. I wasn't expecting the salad to be tossed and the chicken was drizzled as well. It was more of a dipping sauce then a dressing in my opinion. Excellent onion rings. Very friendly service

I ordered the crispy chicken cutlet wrap and was disappointed to receive what seemed like microwaved chicken cutlet pieces. Crispy it was most definitely not, but dry, tough and stringy with mealy batter. Husband couldn't even finish his cheesesteak. Had ordered fish tacos on a prior occasion and they were underwhelming as well.

We will definitely be coming back, and a big reason is because of the excellent service she provided.

We have a longstanding tradition of ordering Wellington's on New Year's Eve. Well- even traditions…read moremust come to end because we will never be ordering from there again. Rumor has it the restaurant has changed ownership in the last year- and if that's true- can the old owners buy it back? There has been such a decline in food quality and service! Let's begin with all the ways the food was subpar. First- my mother did the fixed price menu. They forgot one of her courses entirely. The shrimp cocktail was not in the building. Not that it's a huge loss- you get four measley shrimp. Then, the lamb chops were supposed to come with arugula- and the "salad" was a weird container of lettuce and cannellini beans- beans were never mentioned anywhere on this menu. We honestly didn't even know whose meal that was supposed to pair with because nothing like it was on the entire menu. Food allergy risk anybody? The lamb chops were also bone dry- no trace of the reduction or glacier sauce that the menu specified. The worst offense of all were the salad dressings. They were completely inedible! The balsamic vinaigrette was just pure vinegar- like get out your Easter eggs to dye because that's really all you can do with straight vinegar. The raspberry vinaigrette had the consistency of a jam and lo and behold, tasted like a container of raspberry jam. Another was pure olive oil and the honey mustard was oily and way too honey- I think they forgot the mustard part. On top of the food being a total train wreck- the worst part was the service. From start to finish the staff was rude and made it seem like they were doing us a favor by serving us- that's your literal job! Both when we placed the order, picked up the food AND when my mom drove back to get her missing course they acted like we were such an inconvenience and annoyance. For the prices they charge- all of this was unacceptable. Pack orders correctly. Make edible food. Treat your customers with the slightest bit of hospitality. It's not hard to figure out. It's worth noting that when we returned for our missing course another customer was there demanding money back for spoiled food they were given on new years as well. Patrons of Shelton- raise your standards! We don't have a ton of higher end dining options and thus the ones we do have need to exceed expectations. Unfortunately, or maybe it's actually fortunately for us, we won't be back.

We ordered wings and the special tacos of the day which were eye of the round tomatillo tacos with pico. We get the buffalo sauce and cajun dry rub on our wings which were 5 stars. The tacos not so much. For $15 the three tacos were tiny, 3 pieces of eye of the round on two tacos, 4 on third. The pico was tomatoes with a tiny piece of jalapeno and onion in water, weird. The tomatillo sauce was ok, but not the best. We LOVE this place but these tacos missed the mark. Service was good. At the end, Lauren took over. She was friendly and introduced herself to us and others at the bar. She mostly cashed us out, but we liked her friendliness. Go with confidence, it's a great local bar/restaurant with good, friendly service.

The food was ok at best. Do yourself a favor and go to further down Bridgeport Ave for anything else. At least the Strawberry lemonade was good !

This was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a cute little dive bar tucked into the hillside. The parking situation wasn't great, but we found a small lot nearby, so it worked out perfectly. We were greeted right away and sat at the bar. I was surprised there was just a menu for the wings just two full pages--everything sounded so good that choosing was the hardest part. We ended up ordering three different flavors (six wings each). Caramel Soy (my pick): I knew this was going to hit, and it absolutely did. If you've ever had Korean fried chicken with a soy glaze, it had a very similar flavor profile:savory, slightly sweet, super addictive. The best part? It came with a fluffy dipping sauce. So fun. The wings were crispy and tender, easily my favorite of the night. Hot Garlic Butter (my girlfriend's pick): This one leaned more toward a classic buffalo-style sauce. Delicious, with chunks of garlic throughout. Not the most adventurous flavor, but exactly what we needed for a little spice. These wings were more heavily coated, so the skin wasn't quite as crispy, but the flavor held up. Solid 8-9/10. Cilantro Lime Tahini (our mutual pick): A bit out there for wings. I liked the flavor, but it felt better suited for a salad than chicken. Definitely our least favorite, but still not bad. 6.5/10. Overall, we'll be back--I want to try all the flavors!

I thought the parmesan butter bacon garlic sauce would be more of a sauce, but it ended up being more of a spread. Still a solid burger, just different than what I had in mind.

My boyfriend ordered the blue cheesy bacon wings, which were good, although they seemed to have no bacon. He also tried the classic hot wings, which were solid as well. I really enjoyed the laid-back vibe here and would definitely come back to try more of their crazy wing flavors -- there are just so many to choose from.
