Llywelyn's Pub-Webster Grove

Been to Llywelyn's three times in the last couple of months. My experiences were as follows.
1. Memorial Day, around 1:30 with hubs and kids. Okay, we were all hot, tired, and hungry; not a good combination. Hubs ordered some curry thing, I got the fish and chips with rarebit sauce, and the kids ordered something I can't remember. What I do recall is that our waitress, although nice enough, was completely incompetent. She brought the kids the wrong food and her earth-shattering response was, Oh yeah, I did. The curry was terrible; really thin and watery. The fish and chips were fine, although the fish pieces were a little too think. Let's be honest, here: I am just not a fan of in-house chips. I'm an asshole and like the stuff out of the bag, okay? I don't know why I keep trying these things at restaurants. Waitress was overtly inattentive, so the manager got involved, and he saved the day by apologizing and comping the kiddie meals.

2. Met a friend here for hangover lunch on a Sunday. Waitress was better, but still no rock star. This time, I asked for buffalo chicken tenders, just not in the wrap, which is the only way they appear on the menu. Waitress said she would "see what she could do." Huh? I'm asking for LESS effort here; just throw the damn things on a plate and skip the wrap and its accoutrements. She came through (wow, what a champ!). I gotta say, those bastards were good, and the fries were excellent. My friend ordered the fried pickle spears, which were also tasty. The only way I've had fried pickles were in chip form, and I think those are better in terms of batter/pickle ratio. Friend also ordered a pretzel bread thing with some decent cheesy dipping sauce.

3. Met aforementioned friend, her sister, and another gal for ladies' night. Had the waitress from trip #1. She was slightly improved, but I was half in the bag by the time we left and in a forgiving mood. Got the Caesar salad this time (more room for booze), and it was very good; would definitely get again. Drinks were actually pretty cheap, which was a pleasant surprise. The family sitting next to us moved at one point because we were too loud. DON'T TAKE YOUR SMALL CHILDREN TO DINNER AT A BAR AFTER 7 P.M. IF YOU FIND ADULT CONVERSATION INAPPROPRIATE. Where were my kids? At home where they belong at that hour. All was good until the waitress asked us to cash out so she could go home. Yes, we were getting ready to leave, but seriously?

Bottom line: standard bar food fare is good. Service here is craptacular, so consider yourself warned. Whoever is hiring and/or training needs to find another vocation. Will I go back? Yeah, probably.

It was a beautiful day and we had made the trek to Euclid Records, so why not sit outside and enjoy?!

Typical pub fare.  Salads were good.  Homemade chips are extra special.  Patio is perfect.  Inside is huge.  My guess they pack'em in for soccer matches.

Smoking on the sidewalk, just off the patio, has got to stop.  I took off a star

Get the pub burger with soft cheese on an English muffin or the Guiness stew, and you can't go wrong.  Lots of beer choices to choose from as well.

They have a patio out front when the weather is nice, and half of the place is for large groups and private parties while the other half is for the public.
