Scope and content
A Captain America's menu from the 1970s for the Grafton Street branch. It has a colour comic on the front.
Mark Kavanagh opened Captain America’s on Grafton Street in 1971. It was not the first restaurant in Dublin to serve American-style burgers – but it was certainly a pioneer. Even iceberg lettuce was a rarity at the time. Chris de Burgh and Horslips played here in the early days.
