The Trident (restaurant)

The Trident is a restaurant in Sausalito, California, opened in 1966 as a bar-restaurant-music venue by the Kingston Trio.

Trident bartenders Bobby Lozoff and Billy Rice created the modern version of the Tequila Sunrise cocktail at the restaurant in 1972.

It was served at a private party there organized by Bill Graham to kick off the Rolling Stones' 1972 tour in America.

[3][4] In the 1968 action film, Bullitt, the live band playing in the background of the restaurant scene with Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bissett is Meridian West, a jazz quartet that McQueen had seen performing at The Trident and included in the movie.

Shortly thereafter, Horizons opened and became a popular tourist destination until 2012, when it resumed its Trident title.
