History

Established in 1960.

In 1960, the Kingston Trio purchased the Yacht Dock and kept that name until about 1966. At that point the Beat Generation had given way to the '60s hippie movement, and the club underwent major groovification and a name change to The Trident - a musical entertainment venue, natural foods restaurant and the place to hang out. With their wholesome image and comic folk ditties, the Kingston Trio may have seemed unlikely founders of such a counterculture establishment, but like the times, the Trio's style evolved, contributing to a folk music revival and influencing a new generation of folk icons - who reflected and often impacted changes in the political climate - such as Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary and The Byrds. But times change, and in 1980 The Trident closed its doors and became the popular Horizons restaurant. Now we've come full circle once again to The Trident, where you can enjoy the original decor from the 1960s, including the famous wall (and ceiling).
