"A large mid-century modern white building on the Sausalito waterfront resembles a yacht club of a bygone time. You can't miss Sausalito's Trident restaurant. A beloved staple of Bay Area history, the restaurant last month closed its doors for good. Modern-day Bay Area goers have stopped in at the Trident over the years to enjoy some afternoon tequila sunrises or mai tais and the restaurant's infamous lobster rolls. However, few may be well acquainted with the spot's decorated musical history."
"Back in 1960, the Trident, which was initially called Yacht Dock on Bridgeway, was first opened by the Kingston Trio and their manager, Frank Werber, as a one-stop shop, a music venue, restaurant and bar. The Yacht Dock was then renamed to the Trident in 1966. The Kingston Trio, which was founded in Palo Alto, sang both folk and pop music. They are best known for their top radio hits such as Tom Dooley and their rendition of Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"
The Trident is a mid-century modern white building on the Sausalito waterfront resembling a yacht club. The restaurant opened in 1960 as the Yacht Dock on Bridgeway, launched by the Kingston Trio and manager Frank Werber as a combined music venue, restaurant and bar, and was renamed the Trident in 1966. The Kingston Trio helped pioneer the late folk revival with hits like Tom Dooley and Where Have All the Flowers Gone?. The Trident drew musicians from nearby studios and celebrities such as Groucho Marx, Warren Beatty, David Crosby, Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh. The restaurant served tequila sunrises, mai tais and lobster rolls before closing permanently last month.
