A historic waterfront restaurant in Sausalito, California, renowned for its spectacular views of San Francisco, Angel Island, and Alcatraz. Established in 1966 by the Kingston Trio, The Trident became a cultural hub during the late 1960s and 1970s, attracting notable figures such as Janis Joplin, who had her own table, and hosting events like the Rolling Stones' private parties organized by Bill Graham.
THE MENU features a diverse selection of dishes crafted from seasonal, local, organic, and sustainably sourced ingredients, reflecting our commitment to wholesome and flavorful cuisine. We are also proud to be the birthplace of the modern Tequila Sunrise cocktail, created by our bartenders in the early 1970s.
THE UNIQUIQUE AMBIANCE is enhanced by original 1960s decor, including psychedelic murals and rich, warm woodwork with flowing curves, preserving the artistic spirit of the era. Our heated outdoor decks provide a sensational bayside dining experience, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends while overlooking the bay and the San Francisco city skyline.
Tequila Sunrise, The Trident and The Rolling Stones!
Even in the Dark Ages—the years of Long Island Iced Tea and sour mix; of wine coolers and blended whiskey—there were famous bartenders in San Francisco and its neighboring towns and villages. At the Persian Aub Zam Zam Room on Haight Street, Bruno Mooshei held the line with a Dry Martini that was “like a soft rubber mallet at the base of the skull,” as one communicant described it (I can attest to the truth of that description), and if that didn’t appeal to you well you could just go somewhere else because that’s all he made. The pixilated C. Bobby Cook ruled the roost at the Owl Tree, surrounded by owls stuffed, carved, painted, embroidered and represented every other way you can represent an owl.
At the Trident in Sausalito, Bobby Lozoff turned the Rolling Stones on to his on-the-fly reinterpretation of the old Tequila Sunrise and through them made it the theme drink of the 1970s.
