Cap's second job... as seen in Ireland

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

Hi all!

I haven't posted much lately, if at all...

Just came back from Ireland and on my last day, as I was navigating the crowds of Dublin and longing for the quiet of nothing but landscape, this suddenly caught my eye...

There was a neon sign in blue and red, Cap running at you with his shield, above the door. I didn't go inside (the restaurant was on the top floor), just took the picture, but now I wonder about the menu...

Hee. Didn't he part-own a diner in Brooklyn at one point in canon? I guess that was enough of a success that he's branched out. :-)

It's amazing what you find when you're not looking.

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

Yep! I was just innocently, and a bit tiredly, looking around, and there it was. Perked me up. Sadly, no mention of Iron Man

I have a t-shirt from the Cork branch of the fine establishment. It's red with Cap's shield on the front and 'Captain America's Cork' (they were out of the blue ones).
Good eating :9
I should go and take photos. :D

There's one in Cork, too? My next trip's in autumn and I was hoping to make it to Cork this time. Last time, seven years ago, I was frustrated and detained by major construction work...

[oddwildflowers.livejournal.com]

Do! Come to Cork! :D We have... uh... less than they have in Dublin, but it's still all good fun.
Seven years ago eh? I think the construction work you're referring was probably when we were getting ready for Cork receiving the title of 'EU City of Culture'. It did not go all that well :/

He's giving a thumbs up, but he looks so dour.

I wonder if he drew the logo himself?

aahhahaa lol that's a great thought.

steve: i have to draw myself on the front of a bar. can't make it look like it's TOO much fun in here >.>

Well, maybe he's thinking he can't show open support from drinking. You know he's been in "Don't drink, smoke or so drugs, kids!" PSAs before.

They might have tried to get him to do a "Don't have sex" one, too. But Steve felt hypocritical. I mean, look at his boyfriend. XD

I had a burger there if I remember right, when I was there a few summers ago. We ate there our last night in Dublin as a joke. So wish I'd gotten a t-shirt.

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

I wasn't hungry at the time and I didn't just want to wander in, gawk, and hurry out. Well, maybe next time.

That's really cool. I kind of wonder how they got around copyright laws, though....

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

Maybe because they called it 'Captain Americas' with the added 's'?

[chimneypot.livejournal.com]

i drink there all the time, they do cocktails for three euro from monday till wednesday.

incidentally, one of the barmen is this really good-looking tall, muscular guy!

[macx-larabee.livejournal.com]

LOL! Blond? ;) Some dark-haired, bearded guy hanging around all the time? *g*

[chimneypot.livejournal.com]

haha, yeah, actually he IS blond, i was going to say so but forgot. unfortunately, i haven't seen any sign of a dark-haired man in an expensive suit hanging around, but if i do, i'll let you know!
