Artichoke Sandwichbar East has its own regular pub-music program, including Irish music and other recurring live performances. The room is casual and intimate, making Irish folk, acoustic rock, singer-songwriters, Americana, country, blues, and small groups natural fits.

Artichoke East is a good Wichita target for local performers and roots-oriented musicians seeking recurring pub work. Full bands can fit selected events, but the room is best suited to smaller, flexible ensembles.
