There's quite a handful for common lisp: araneida, hunchentoot, allegroserve, and the minimalist mod_lisp. I use araneida, and I find it to be wholly enjoyable. It makes a lot of sense to use lisp for the web. I don't write HTML; instead I write lisp forms that look a lot like HTML, and araneida has a simple function for rewriting it as an HTML string on the way out the door. This opens up a world of possibilities for using lisp to generate HTML. I would not recommend araneida for someone entering the lisp web game; I would instead nod toward hunchentoot. I would have made the switch myself, but I have too much code already, and I have patched araneida to do all the things I need.
