Zack’s – closed


Patch from an old t-shirt.
From Sausalito Historical Society:

Zack's By The Bay was a restaurant located at Bridgeway and Turney streets ca. 1970-72. It was started at Sam Zakessian ca. 1959.

A blogger mentions turtle racing in the 60s and great food. Indeed, Zack’s logo is a turtle. Also mentioned is the smallest stage one piano player has ever encountered in his career.

Apparently you could dock right up to the place, as groupies ascended on Wilt Chamberlain as he was coming off his boat.

“A great place for dancing,” someone remarked.

Ah, the last entry. Make it sweet.

Barmaids were called Zac’s girlfriends and served drinks with no hands. Drinks glasses were stuffed in the top of the bra of their barmaid costumes.
