Capitán Jack

High-End, Low-Key Seafood Restaurant & Bar Inspired by 1960s Surf Lifestyle

Capitán Jack is a high-end, low-key seafood restaurant and bar inspired by 1960s surf culture and nautical lore. Blending Mexico-meets-Tiki influences with rugged maritime charm, the space transports guests into the world of a legendary mariner.

Design elements include exposed ship-like beams, hand-blown glass buoy sconces, and a Parota wood bar top that feels like a well-worn captain’s table. Custom bronze fixtures, playful hidden artifacts, and nautical landscaping further immerse guests in the experience. Every detail—from the whimsical cement fish swimming through succulents to the paw prints baked into ceiling bricks—weaves a story that’s equally mysterious, nostalgic, and effortlessly cool.
