Originally Captain Jack’s Oyster Bar, which served drinks and seafood appetizers since the marketplace’s opening in 1975, the restaurant expanded on the seafood theme, with tables facing the waterfront of the Downtown Disney area. The restaurant closed in August, 2013, due to the expansion of the Disney Springs project.
