WBB Tour: The Artichoke Sandwich Bar

If this is your first time coming to the site, you will probably want to read our intro so you are aware of what a bunch of dumbasses we are … INTRO

A true Irish Pub in Wichita

Bar #5 – The Artichoke Sandwich Bar

Address – 811 N Broadway, Wichita

Category – ½ sandwich place, ½ Irish Pub

Barry:  The Artichoke is a very unique bar.  It’s busy at lunch because it’s known for having great food and then it’s a cool, little Irish Pub in the evenings, with local music on the weekends.  One of its weaknesses is the location on North Broadway but it’s worth the short jaunt.

Boozer:  I love the Irish.  Did you guys know I’m part Irish?

Barry:  What part?

Boozer:  My liver.

Dick:  Asshole, I’ve actually been to Ireland.  Pretty cool place except they speak English too fast and have that pikey accent that you can’t get a word in edgewise without looking like an idiot.

Boozer:  I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Dick: Exactly.

Barry:  Back to the Artichoke guys.  For a bar I think it’s great, I’ve never eaten there though.  The bartender we met is the owner’s son and they like to help the community from what I hear.

Dick:  Who gives a shit about that queer stuff.  Are you gonna get drunk and laid at this place or what?  That’s what we’re concerned about.

Boozer:  I definitely got drunk.  The bartender suggested we do an Irish car bomb.  Anytime the bartender is trying to get you to do shots then you know he cares.

Barry:  Yeah I definitely like this place except to speak to Dick’s point above, not a great chance to get laid.

Scabies anyone?

Dick:  Maybe your game is slipping.  I saw a couple of ladies in their 50’s with hairy legs that you could’ve taken home.

Barry:  Those are more Boozer’s type.

Boozer:  Hairy women, European style, I like it.  Because I’m part Irish.
