Pubs exist as a place where strangers can bond over a close ninth inning, a frosty pint of beer, or a handshake sealed with super glue. Forge a friendship with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of pub grub at Maggie Malone's in Wentzville.

Maggie Malone's menu merges aggressive appetites with burgers, steaks, and sandwiches in an entertaining environment that hosts live music, 15 TVs, pool, and shuffleboard. Pub grubbers can crunch toasted ravioli ($7.99) or scoop spinach-artichoke dip ($6.99) while raising a beer to their favorite team or shampoo commercial airing on one of two 100" TV screens. Burger aficionados can bestow their bellies with the sautéed onion-and-pepper-topped blackened cheeseburger ($6.99) or brave the fiery 5 Alarm burger ($6.99) for a face-reddening feast. Toss a coin into the jukebox for a tune to accompany the Irish Reuben ($7.99) or the 8-ounce rib-eye steak sandwich served with a choice of chips, fries, or onion rings ($8.99). Kids always eat free at Maggie's, meaning children will not have to sing for their supper or recite Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics for a snack.

Pub patrons put idle hands to use with one of Maggie Malone's three pool tables or an in-house shuffleboard that showcases smooth sliding skills. Live music and DJs perform Friday and Saturday evenings, and amateurs steal the stage for karaoke contests on Tuesdays, regaling the crowd with rock anthems, crooning to slow Motown melodies, or re-enacting Hamlet's famous soliloquy to a honky-tonk backdrop.
