Where's the Vowels?

LLywelyn's Pub started off as a intimate Central West End pub and grew into a multi-state chain, taking over mass square footage left by bars with shallower pockets and less name recognition. The Soulard offshoot has been around for a few years, taking over the former Soulard Ale House space (still have a pint glass!). With the exception of the original, Llywelyn's does not have outdoor space, which is always nice to have on a spring evening, although with the temps reaching into the upper 90s lately, this was not something we necessarily were seeking.

The menu is ever-changing and expanding, and on our visit this past Monday, I skipped right past the standbys of burgers and fish and chips and ordered a curried shrimp wrap. Eh. There were way too many carrots for my liking, giving the whole thing a strange texture in my mouth. Tim ordered a reuben, a staple of Irish/English/Scotch, or in this case Welsh, pub grub. Again, just ok. The side of sweet potato waffle fries redeemed the meals and our appetizer of calamari was good, but not anything original.

On Monday nights, we found out by accident, that apps were half price and beers were 3 bucks a pint. They have a pretty sizable draught selection, with few (perhaps none) made by AB.

We, of course, will be back to Llewelyn's which is just some place that's close, inexpensive, and convenient.
