The Scene: Llywelyn's has six locations in the St. Louis area -- plus one in Kansas City -- and its happy hour and drink specials have recently been touted as the best. We stopped into the Celtic-themed bar and restaurant's Old Webster location to put its meal and drink deals to the test. The dimly lit, double-sided bar features a separate dining room for those looking to chat rather than bask in the glow of one of the bar's many TVs.

"Dragon's Nest": fried jalapenos and onions.
