Bars in Florissant

At Crest Bowl, pins scatter across the gleaming hardwood of 32 bowling lanes equipped with up-to-date scoring equipment, lending a baritone rumble to a chorus of cheery shouts. Patrons lace up bowling shoes to improve smooth approaches and ward off sandal-model scouts. Mr. Karaoke conducts sing-alongs multiple nights a week, and cosmic bowling nights allow players to work toward a perfect game and experience the thrill of riding a comet amid upbeat music and the glow of laser lights. When three consecutive strikes put turkey on bowlers' minds, Brickhouse Pizza Company sates appetites with pizzas and sandwiches and fuels victory toasts with a full bar.

Show-Me's is the kind of sports pub where you don't have to show off to anybody. On the contrary, this is a place where you can grab a cold beer, loosen up your tie, and use that fancy dress shirt to soak up any of nine wing sauces, including spicy barbecue and honey mustard. The signature wings are a crowd favorite here, but they share top billing with steamed shrimp and oysters, fried fish, and cheesesteak sandwiches. When applause breaks out?as is often the case?it's hard to tell whether it's for the food or something that happened on one of the massive HD TVs.

The Piano Bar catalyzes nights of song-laden celebration with finely tuned bar snacks served between spirited musical battles. Patrons munch on baskets of alligator bites ($6) and honey-mustard-adorned chicken strips ($6) or choose classics like shrimp cocktail ($6) or chile con queso ($5) as the two piano men play tug of war with a spontaneous, all request set-list of pop, rock, and country standards. The $20 Groupon can be used to cover the total bill.

The foodsmiths at Beef Eaters Restaurant, which was ranked the number-one restaurant in RV parks and campgrounds in 2005 (http://www.motorhomemagazine.com/output.cfm?ID=2191645) by MotorHome magazine, prepare a bountiful menu(http://www.beefeatersonline.com/menu-wines.php) of steak and seafood for dinner, sandwiches and pastas for lunch, and wines. The dinner roster sates sullen stomachs with a duo of pan-seared Tenderloin Tournedos, tastily accoutered with tomatoes, mushroom, and a pool of burgundy wine sauce that it collected while twisting around the kitchen at wind speeds of 178 mph ($19.99). Seafood arrives hand breaded and deep fried with the jumbo shrimp or sautéed in the case of the tilapia, which simmers under a fresh coat of lemon cream sauce (each $16.99).

Llywelyn's menu introduces an impressive assortment of traditional pub classics to salads, flatbreads, wraps, and ambitiously portioned sandwiches. Start with an order of Welsh potato chips ($3.95); flaky, fried Irish pies ($7.95); beer-battered fried pub pickles ($7.25); or the much-talked-about chicken chili ($4.95 for a bowl). Then wrap mouth muscles around fish and chips ($10.25): two beer-battered and fried cod fillets served with house-made tartar sauce. From meaty chunks of lamb, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and green beans swimming in Guinness-Jameson stock ($9.95) to shepherd's pie ($10.95), the selections side well with a sudsy sip. The beer menu includes an exhaustive library of selections by the draft or bottle. Llywelyn's also offers a menu of kid-friendly fare.
