Where history meets the horizon. Located along the water’s edge in Sausalito, California, with panoramic views of San Francisco, Angel Island, and Alcatraz, this isn’t just a restaurant. Born in 1966 from the minds of the Kingston Trio, The Trident became the heartbeat of a generation, where rockstars like Janis Joplin had a table to call her own, and The Rolling Stones threw private parties, thanks to the one and only Bill Graham.
​
Our menu isn’t just food – it’s a celebration of the land and sea, crafted from the freshest, most local, organic, and sustainably sourced ingredients. Each dish tells a story. And speaking of stories, we’re the proud birthplace of the Tequila Sunrise, a cocktail that didn’t just capture a moment – it defined an era.
Step inside our ambiance, where the '60s come alive in psychedelic murals, curves that flow like a good melody, and woodwork as rich as the history that echoes through every corner. Outside, the bay awaits, offering the kind of view that makes every bite taste a little better.
Tequila Sunrise
Born behind our bar in the early ’70s, the modern Tequila Sunrise—crafted by Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice—quickly became a rock ’n’ roll favorite. The legend took flight when Mick Jagger had his first sip, and the Rolling Stones made it their drink of choice on tour. From the shores of Sausalito to stages worldwide, it all began at The Trident—where music, creativity, and cocktails collided.
​
Irish Coffee
While perfected just across the Bay at Buena Vista Cafe, Irish Coffee found a welcome home at The Trident. Served steaming hot with rich Irish whiskey and a layer of cream, it became a comforting classic in our fog-kissed waterfront setting, an homage to Bay Area tradition with our own laid-back twist.

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.
