They say if you can remember the 1960s and ’70s, y They say if you can remember the 1960s and ’70s, you weren’t there. Not always. In 1974, Tiburon’s Mark Lomas worked at the Trident Restaurant in Sausalito, the erstwhile gathering place for, literally sex, drugs and rock and roll. Featuring psychedelic-colored menus, tasty organic dishes, Ramos gin fizzes, candles in bowls, Boston ferns throughout and, most notable of all, enticingly attired waitresses, the Trident reigned supreme at 558 Bridgeway between 1966 and 1976. And Lomas, now a Marin realtor, recalls those times surprisingly well.

“Each day I came to work wondering what was going to happen next,” he says. “I started as a dishwasher and Robin Williams, a busboy at the time, showed me how to operate the dish-washing machine.” Lomas also recalls encounters with Trident diners Pink Floyd (“Nicest guys you’d ever want to meet”) and Walter Matthau (“‘You’re standing on my foot,’ he informed me when I cleared his table”). Surprising to many, the Trident was owned and developed by that clean-cut singing group of the 1950s the Kingston Trio and their entrepreneurial manager Frank Werber.

As for the Trident’s legendary waitresses, Lomas puts it this way: “They were really sexy, intelligent and very creative; they dressed and acted as they pleased and many were respected artists in their own right—they were like goddesses.” The list of Trident customers is also legendary: Janis Joplin had a favorite table; rock impresario Bill Graham hosted two post-concert parties here for the Rolling Stones; Woody Allen staged a scene from Play It Again Sam there; other regulars included David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Groucho Marx, Clint Eastwood, Joan Baez and Tommy and Dickie Smothers. “In the late ’60s and early ’70s, it was the place to be in Northern California,” concludes Lomas.

You might be wondering where and when this picture You might be wondering where and when this picture was taken. Give up? It’s New Year’s Eve 1971 at the Marshall Tavern. Built in 1902, the property still hangs precariously over Tomales Bay in the West Marin community of Marshall. 

The photo is one of hundreds in historian Dewey Livingston’s recently released book, Point Reyes and Tomales Bay, A History of the Land and its People. Here’s how Livingston describes the setting (by way of background, Web Otis was a young real estate investor in West Marin in the 1970s):

"Creating the new Marshall scene was a lark for those involved. As Web Otis recalled, 'We were young and had a good time doing it.' The owners rented the building to a variety of operators. The Marshall Tavern had good food and live music. Michael Considine, a restaurateur and owner of the Lion’s Share music venue in Sausalito (and later San Anselmo), went into business with former Marin County Supervisor Thomas T. Storer on the venue in 1969, attracting acts like John Stewart from the Kingston Trio, and Buffy Ford. Others were Mimi Farina (whose sister Joan Baez attended), Jesse Colin Young and Jerry Corbitt. Local musicians had a welcoming venue at and even Colonel Sanders, of fried chicken fame, made an appearance there to film a commercial."

Livingston’s book also notes that in November of ’71 — mere weeks before the epic New Year’s Eve in the photo — the adjacent hotel had burned down. “Miraculously, the Marshall Tavern was saved from the flames,” Livingston writes, adding that in 1973, “top national musicians including Van Morrison and Neil Young were brought in.” Often when that happened, it was “so packed” that people were “dancing in the street” and the owner closed the bar because he sold “every ounce of alcohol in the place.” The Marshall Tavern closed for good in 1982. A concerted effort to rehabilitate and reopen the historic venue, involving millions of dollars, was launched in 2023 but is currently lodged in lawsuits and environmental issues.

Perhaps there’s something in the water, because La Perhaps there’s something in the water, because Larkspur makes a strong case to be crowned Central Marin’s most charming city. Incorporated in 1908, Larkspur’s “Old Downtown” was officially recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In the decades since, it’s continued to blossom into a region that today thrives as a bustling hub of retail, events, nature and more. Larkspur’s perpetual popularity is further compounded by its foot-traffic friendly layout, bountiful options for fantastic food and its crucial role as the home to one of Golden Gate Transit’s main ferry terminals. 

Whether you're visiting Larkspur for the first time or playing tourist in your hometown, these are the best things to do while you're here:

1️⃣ See a movie at The Lark
2️⃣ Take a ferry ride
3️⃣ Enjoy a taste of Paris at Left Bank
