Trident Waitresses and other Trident employees
Welcome to the Trident! Where Benito Vila suggests you could get anything you want. Benito’s tale of tales will entertain anyone who remembers those wild and crazy times. Back in the day…
“From its waterfront perch in Sausalito, the Trident’s clientele could see the San Francisco skyline and the top of the Golden Gate Bridge towers. The club/restaurant was a “trippy spaceship” whose passengers just happened to be a Who’s Who of rock and roll: the Rolling Stones, Quicksilver Messenger Service, David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Sam Andrew, Jefferson Airplane, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, Sterling Hayden, Alan Watts, Sonny Barger the head of the Hell’s Angels, and Bill Cosby to name a few. Not to mention Robin Williams was one of the busboys and the modern version of the tequila Sunrise was invented there.
The fifties became the sixties at the club, then the sixties became the seventies and the Trident reflected those times… Benito Vila takes us back, through the words of those who were there.”
