"We had planned on being open on New Year's Day,"
"But we had a better-than-expected New Year's Eve. So instead of opening with an extremely limited menu, we made the difficult decision to close a day early."
"The Trident was a curious mix of locals, regulars and some of the biggest names in show business that oftentimes blended in unnoticed,"
"The Kingston Trio and their manager, Frank Werber, along with Lou Ganapoler, the general manager of the Trident, created this culinary phenomenon. Lou's role in the success of the Trident cannot be understated."
The Trident restaurant in Sausalito permanently closed on New Year's Day after a better-than-expected New Year's Eve led management to close a day early. The restaurant opened in 1966, founded by the Kingston Trio and manager Frank Werber, and offered live music, cocktails, sushi, a fresh-squeezed juice bar, espresso and a prominent view of San Francisco. The venue attracted musical legends including Janis Joplin, David Crosby and the Rolling Stones. Bartenders Billy Rice and Bobby Lozoff reimagined the house tequila sunrise, which the Rolling Stones popularized during their 1972 "Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise Tour." The Trident later transitioned to Horizons in 1980, and longtime managers and staff were credited with building its success.
