I was part of a large group this past weekend, so large that we needed two reservations to accommodate everyone, and we had a fantastic time. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. There is a two-hour dining limit, but that's fairly common for smaller immersive restaurants, and the team communicated clearly about table timing throughout our visit. The standout drink for our group was the Pain Killer, while I personally loved the Lailani Volcano. Cocktails are a bit pricey, but they're in line with other tiki bars and craft cocktail spots. Food prices were reasonable, portions are fairly large and everything was delicious. Don't sleep on the SPAM musubi. The coconut shrimp and pork belly with fried rice were also favorites with our group. Food did take a little while to arrive, but considering our party size and the fact that we ordered at different times, it was understandable. More importantly, everything came out hot and freshly prepared, not like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The decor is an absolute blast. If you know the Santa Clarita area, it's impressive enough that you completely forget you're in downtown Newhall. Keep an eye out for the little show moments that happen throughout the evening. They add a fun surprise and make the experience even more memorable. read more

We had a party of 10 on a Saturday evening. The staff was very attentive to our table. The drinks and food are 10/10 only using top notch ingredients. If you are looking for an immersive themed bar, look no further. The Poke Nachos 10/10, Pork Belly 10/10, Crab Rangoons 10/10. 1944 Mai Tai 10/10 (not your typical "resort" Mai tai) the Pain Killer 10/10, heck all the drinks and food we had were amazing. read more

Parking was very easy and the waitress was great. That's all I really can say about it. read more

Santa Clarita has a tiki and it's.... Well...."It's okay", for most casual Tiki goers, but not great. It's the Tiki Bar that plays it safe and will scratch that itch-- plain and simple. Come here for the tiki vibe and maybe a buzz. However--the service here is actually really attentive and professional. I actually think the staff here is pretty great. The Tiki Bartenders are sarcastic and the waiters are polite and friendly. Great vibe! The drinks! So the best one was actually the Jet Pilot! We tried several drinks and some were better than others. Some were too dry on the pallet while others were very sweet. The Navy Grog was strong as expected as well, but not a winner either. (This information is mainly for Seasoned Tiki Bar Goers.) Overall, the drinks are fine. No special flashy drink presentations. Just tiki glass drinks. Which is all well and good. The food is probably the "could be better" for me. I had the Fish and it wasn't bad but there was NO flavor and their spicy sauce was the only flavor I could add to it. The Loco Moco was alright as well, but it wasn't bad. The rice was also very plain and didn't really complement the fish either. I am a little disappointed on the culinary front... don't come here for the food. The vibe of the Tiki Bar is pretty on bar with many Tiki Bar vibes with occasional sound fx and sounds with some slight flashing lights to go with it. It's a cute tiki vibe that one can escape into with a smile. This area is done well! Overall, it's a Tiki Bar that I would label as Good! Not great but it's fine. I would probably only get their Jet Pilot next time if we went back. Again their Staff was great. Nice little visit! read more

This is an optimistic 3 stars for me as I really want this place to be great and they put so much work into the design and atmosphere which, on its own, deserved 5 stars. But we were there for food and drinks and our experience with those items wasn't what we'd hoped for. Full disclusure, we were there 2 days after they opened, so you can take the 3-star rating and our assessment as opening week bumps, and with a grain of salt. Bump in the road one in our visit - We had a reservation, but they seated as at a table awkwardly close to the entrance...we asked to move further in at any of the other open tables (there were a lot of them) and it involved a lengthy conversation with management...we eventually got to move one table further in. Subsequent people who were seated at that first able also asked to move. Hot-top: Reserve the high tops up against the walls...less traffic-y and you'll feel like you're actually in the restaurant. Bump in the road two - I'm a vegetarian, which means I always have to check out menus in advance, and I was excited they offered several vegetarian versions of their dishes (subbing tofu as a protein). Though when looking at the printed menus, none of those items were there, and our server wasn't aware of them. So extra time was involved communicating with the kitchen to make sure we could get what we wanted. Again, the place was brand new so I assume more than a month into it, they probably have that part together. They may have fixed this, too, but the menus were actually very hard to read in the dark and were assembled with a complicated three-ring system with hard boards surrounding the menu papers, which made them really difficult to open, and me living in fear I was going to tear pages out. Really unique, but impractical design for a physical menu. Food and drinks...It's a tiki bar, so this was their chance to really win and make me forget all my troubles. I ordered the 1944 Mai Tai - The server wanted to clarify it wasn't a resort-style super-sweet Mai Tai, but one based on the original recipe. No problem! I've made the original recipe myself at home, and that's what I wanted. What I got was kind of diluted without much discernible rum flavor in it, and it was disappointing. My wife ordered the Privateer, which she liked a lot. (I had a couple sips and also thought it was good.) The manager on duty (maybe one of the owners) came by the table to talk about the cocktail menu and gave some promising details about how it was going to expand significantly. I'm definitely going to come back and see what they've done, as I deeply feel a successful Tiki Bar in Santa Clarita is what we all need. And I also appreciate what seemed like a very sincere effort on their part to make a place that's amazing, from the overall ambiance to the food. The decor is outstanding. They clearly spared no expense making the details of what you see and hear in there part of the experience. We were there for dinner and got 3 dishes suitable for our vegetarian diets...Tempura Green Beans (over-fried...not much green bean texture or flavor left), Leviathan Garden Potstickers (also very over-fried and, more of a personal preference, but I just didn't like the flavor compared to potstickers I've had at other places.), and Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu...this was really good...I could have eaten a lot more though the dish was relatively small so the value for what we got seemed low.) Again, we were there just a couple days after they opened...they clearly have put their heart and soul into the look and feel of the place...my fingers are crossed that these were just opening week-bumps which may have already been resolved, and we will definitely give it another shot with fingers crossed. read more

Amazing ambiance. The Fallen Trident is a must do experience in downtown Newhall. The sultry surroundings of the sunken ship themed dining room are well apportioned. It is evident that a lot went into the planning and execution of the reworking of this space. From the lantern fish glass buoy lamps to the wooden plank covered wall there is a lot to take in. Laci gave us great service. She checked back with us several times throughout our experience without being a bother. She wore a smile and was witty. The food runners delivered our items in an extremely quick manner and all items were as ordered. Food was tasty and well presented. Crab Rangoon actually had great flavor and you can taste the crab. Coconut Shrimp was good as well. The deviled eggs were the best appetizer we had. Very yummy. The pineapple rice with pork belly was very good and presented in a ring of pineapple. Drinks were presented in tiki glasses with beautiful garnishes. We tried several beverages each with its own unique character and flavor palate. Overall a great evening. We will be back. read more

Overall this place is a fun spot in Newhall. From the moment I walked in it smelled like the ocean and definitely went along with the theme. The staff was great, very helpful and attentive. We sat at the bar and ordered a bunch of appetizers. The food was good, it didn't stand out as the best food ever but I enjoyed the meal. My only complaint was it was very hard to get a reservation and they don't allow walk ups but when we got there over half of the restaurant sat empty. I'm not sure if they don't have enough staff to fill all the tables but it seemed strange. read more

One of the coolest places to visit locally. The ambiance alone is just well done - seems like something you'd see at Disneyland except with drinks! We heard via friends that had visited - it's best to get drinks and appetizers. All drinks were delicious as was the Spam musubi , chicken wings, and poke nachos. read more

Had several of the appetizers, they were all fantastic. Ahi nachos, potstickers, deviled eggs ( yum) , pork belly, shishito peppers with edamame, and spam musuvi . Definitely enough to share for our party of 6. Favorite cocktails were the pain killer and the lurr lurr. Ambiance was true to a pirate tiki experience. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon. read more

Good food, good drinks, good vibes, good service! Wish I could link my reel! You feel like you're under the sea and they have videos playing through the portholes to help with that illusion. They keep it very dark and very vibey. Food was delicious, though the dessert maybe didn't burn all the rum off lol read more

I very much enjoyed my time at the Fallen Trident this weekend. Service impeccable. Open 5 weeks. Atmosphere tiki. Not overly saturated, I liked the details with the barnacles on the back of the chairs, the decorated walls and ceiling, and lamps. It looked like the inside of a ship with portholes which I thought was super cool. There were also "monster fish skulls" along the walls. Neat. Music: some Exotica, some classical, some Austin Powers. I'm more of a purist and like to hear only Tikiesque music in that setting, but they are adhering to the mixed, local crowd as well. Can't fault them for that. The music was a nice touch either way. Sashimi peppers were good. I liked that they mixed them with edamame and garlic. I'm used to a little more searing but it was still tasty. I did add salt though, which was an easy fix. Mai Tai was proper. Not too complex, a little dry. Possibly needs a tad more orgeat for balance. By the way the only juice in an original 1944 Mai Tai is lime. For the people who might used to more of a resort style Mai Tai, the good news is the owner said they will be adding one to the menu soon. It will be similar to the fruity versions, and I believe he said it would have a float. Although I was two drinks in and the drinks are stiff so don't quote me on that. Definitely money will spent. The Zombie was decent, balanced and not too sweet. The cinnamon stick garnish was a nice touch. I gave them a suggestion to light the cinnamon stick on fire, and they said they are working on a new drink with a lit stick! For now I wouldn't try to pop in without a reservation, they get busy. read more

Really good atmosphere with low light ambiance. I love tiki bars and therefore I scrutinize if it sucks. This one was good! Lots of good tiki drinks, I tried nearly all the appetizers, the main courses need a rework. The pepper app and ahi nachos are the star appetizers, LrrLrr is a unique drink to the establishment. Drinks: Ive had about 1/3 of the menu by now on multiple visits. They are well garnished, measured and classic. With some twists on the classic tiki. Not too boozy but not too light. Mai tai is ok, passes for decent mai tai. I want to try the bitter mai tai next visit. Food: The main courses need a full rework. They feel like appetizers but with rice. The flavor profiles are decent but for 25$ I got a bowl or rice with barely any pork belly mixed inside. I basically paid $25 for rice inside a pineapple Their burger is good with the egg on top, again just a patty over rice. The good thing is the appetizers, they have a very good spread of different items and moods. If its a main course give me main course portions please, and not just extra rice. Ambiance: Really cool and fun tiki atmosphere. Low light, fun decor, amazing for a date night. I noticed its not too cluttered either, which I can't tell of I like or not. Tiki bars are usually cluttered with tiki items, this one's got a tad bit of an upscale tiki feel to it because its got a clean look. Service: Didnt wait too long for my drinks the second visit. They had two nice bartenders on a Thursday which is a good sign. Anyone who knows tiki bars knows you wait longer for drinks because of the many steps involved in each drink. It is a little bit of a wait though. Especially if the room is full. Food didnt exactly come out very quickly but it was busy so I cant ding them on being popular and busy. On a side note, people look excited to come here, I know I am because its *reservation only*. The intro the hostess gave was a little lack luster. Felt like i was at six flags, just an unenthusiastic spiel and a right-this-way. Idk pay her more? Im sure theres an excited person out there that would bump the entrance up a notch. read more

After waiting a month for our schedules to line up, my group finally went to the Fallen Trident. This is such a unique bar to have in Santa Clarita. The ambiance was such a nice, chill vibe. While we did only have a two hour limit (it's currently tightly reservation only) we never felt rushed. We had a variety of cocktails that we all enjoyed. A special shout out to Danny McAlpine for the creation of the Lrr-Lrr cocktail. That was a favorite of our group. It's definitely a place that I can't wait to visit again and see how they continue to grow and fully develop. read more

1) ambiance is beautiful. Appreciate the decor detail. It's not a big place and it has a bit of a speakeasy vibe to it. 2) food was just ok for us. A bit over priced for what you get and quality was a miss. 3) limited drink menu and no wine! 4) and my biggest issue - they seem to overrate the demand of this place. We thought we lucked out by getting a reservation same day. They disclosed that we have a 2-hour time limit??? It was at the bar which we don't mind. Had good service. The entire time we were there half the place was empty. At 1hr45min into our time, the bartender told us we had 15 minutes! We thought it was a joke since place was pretty empty. So, we went to the Old Town Junction down the street for a good drink! For us, The Fallen Trident fell short. A little pretentious. It's Newhall! Let's be a little more neighborly, welcoming and friendly. read more

This place is well worth the visit!!! The drinks were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! The coconut shrimp is worth the splurge too. We got the ahi tuna and the Loco Moco and both were great portion sizes, flavors, and presentation! Don't miss out on this place. The ambiance and decorations are SO fun! read more

Fun new place. Really cool atmosphere - lots to look at inside. The food was pretty good (coconut shrimp, some type of potsticker, pork belly, steak with pineapple fried rice) and fun craft cocktails. Hands-down the best part of the experience was the service. Our server Kristen or Kirsten (sorry!) was outstanding - welcoming and knew the menu items well. We will be back - thank you! read more

I'll give it a 5 for drinks and atmosphere. Loco Moco was pretty good. Shrimps were small and not much flavor. Wings flavor was not good and little over cooked. I'm sure they will get better as they continue to grow. Drinks were good and fun, you'll get a surprise depending on the drink you order. Overall nice spot and fun. read more

The Fallen Trident - Bar - Tiki Bars Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Tonight was my first visit to The Fallen Trident, and I've got nothing but nice things to say! The drinks were delicious! I personally tried the Lrr-Lrr and the Berry Smash and both were excellent in different ways. We ordered the ahi poke nachos, and those were fantastic. We also shared the potstickers, and split the filet mignon. The potstickers were sweet and a little spicy, and the filet was perfectly seasoned and cooked. All of the staff were super nice and welcoming. What a great dinner spot, and an honestly refreshingly different addition to Main Street cuisine! We are already planning another date night to try more of the menu and we can't wait to share this place with our siblings! read more

We really enjoyed the fallen trident! Its not so much a "tiki bar" as it is more of a shipwreck/kraken themed bar. The decor and lighting was awesome, really well done! The drinks were good (cant wait to come back and try their expanded menu soon), and the food was all really good too. It's a little pricey for the portion sizes,, but to be expected based on where they're located and the fact that you're paying for the experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Children running your front desk is going to ruin this business. We arrived early for our reservation, she told us to sit is 10 mins...not to be closer to our reservation, but they seat people within 5 minutes of their time (which we found out later once we had to follow up). We see a couple walk up, who called ahead and were seated immediately. We then see a couple who is 10 minutes late to their reservation and is seated immediately. Poor service will ruin cute ambiance. 18 year olds at your check in counter, who are as immature as the ones we encountered are going to sink your ship. read more

Lots of buzz around town about this place. Our experience: Service: Prompt and attentive. Drinks: Very good. I had The Zombie and copped just the right amount of buzz. Appetizer: Very tasty and well presented. Crab Rangoons. Entrees: Also very good and well presented without being overly fussy. I had seared ahi with rice and mango chutney. Chutney had a really nice heat to it. My wife had the Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp Tempura. Very tasty, very nicely presented. read more

We have been eagerly anticipating the opening of Fallen Trident. Our family has always enjoyed eating at Pocock and we were so excited to hear about the tiki bar opening on the first floor! My husband and I visited on Wednesday and had a fantastic experience! We ordered coconut shrimp, poke nachos, and shishito peppers. Everything was absolutely delicious! The drinks were excellent as well! We tried the classic Mai tai, painkiller, zombie, and Dr. Funk. The drinks were delicious and smooth, with super cute glasses and barware to match the theme. The inside is curated and decorated to match the tiki theme. The dark and dimly lit space was cozy and felt like an underwater dining experience. We will definitely be back and have spread the word to all of our friends. What an exciting new establishment to have in Santa Clarita! read more

The Fallen Trident is a brand new Tiki Bar in Downtown Newhall. We were fortunate enough to get in last night for a soft opening. My wife and I are well acquainted with the Tiki culture and have been to more Tiki Bars than I can count. The decor is very cool! It's an under the sea theme. The food was quite tasty, and the drinks were on point. As the owner well knew, we're "Bar People", so we were seated at the bar. Our bartenders, Jake and Amie, were engaging and cranking out the cocktails at a great pace. Although the price point might be on the high side for some, we felt that the quality was worth our expense. Unfortunately, I was too busy eating, drinking and socializing, to take more pictures! Fortunately, the wife took several pictures in between cocktails. read more

Went here for a date night last week. Starting with service, very attentive and polite. This is a new Tiki spot and for only being open for a month, we were impressed. Drinks were very good, not exactly right but very close. For being new they have a lot of drinks to pick from and really good food. The hubby got a Loco moco that was really yummy and I got the poke nachos that were probably the best I've had so far. Bartenders are really nice and cheerful. The decor is really cool, like your underwater. The best part is that there's a brewery just above this place, rooftop view. I can't wait to go back. Todd you are doing a great job for the Tiki community, thank you read more

They did not specify this was a speakeasy and did not specify that it was a 21+ venue. The host woman was rude and condescending. We had our kids with us and another family also checked in.

ill be honest this place walking in had very nice decor and ambience. The staff were very nice and welcoming. However, the thing I did not like was that the place was tooo tooo much secure. Like they wouldnt let us inside to even use the bathroom while we waitied and told us to go upstairs to another restaurant bar to use it while we waited. I could barley move yet alone go upstairs because I had a bladder issue so I just had to wait. Also they literally lock the door until they are ready to seat you and once your done the door locks behind you exiting. This is not even some kind of high end place like wtf? Also the food was decent Ive had better, it was too sweet and greasy. Not even close to authentic asian pineapple fried rice and pork belly tooo too saucy. The drinks were good but wayy overpriced. The service was good overall but at the same time they can improve on the waiter service. They were literally chit chatting the whole time while making and trying out alcoholic drinks while on the clock. Totally not being mindful that we needed waters refilled not even asking if were doing ok? Only the bartender asked us if were ok. Like really? isnt filling water a basic? The bathrooms have a sewer problem as the womens toilet takes multiple flushes to flush and bathroom smells really bad according to my wife. Also both bathrooms the water sprays all over your clothes when you wash your hands they need to get an aerator to lower the pressure and flow of the water. Imagine all that germs and urine on your hands getting all over your clothes. Honestly I cant say its a horrible experience but wont return. read more

Drinks were not very good, service needs improvement and the food was just okay. Inside was super neat though.

Almost gave a 2 star but I guess they are fairly new and figuring things out? Drinks were watered down and not very good, very sour, not worth the price. Surprised they didn't have Pocock beer on the menu, asked our server, they do! So I switched to beer. Very limited menu, no salad? Appetizers were good, we got the shrimp. Dinner though? We got pineapple fried rice and their filet mignon. The fried rice was disgusting, we sent it back. Mushy, odd flavors, not good. The filet was a good cut but they sliced the steak into slices. WTF? We quickly ate it as the entire steak was now getting cold. Um, don't cut up steaks! Service was fine, we were there early so not too crowded. Can't say that we'll be back. Unless they make good changes to the menu and offerings. Maybe for a beer and appetizers if they have a happy hour. read more

What a welcome addition to the SCV. The innovative owners of Pocock bring this unique and exciting escape in Fallen Trident. The decor and atmosphere are among some of the best tiki bars I've visited. The drinks are creative and full of whimsy. I recommend the Jet Pilot and the Navy Grog (served in a spam can). The best of the night was the Dr. Fuzz. Order a Leilani Volcano to get a surprise. Poke Nachos were a 11 out of 10, but the coconut shrimp was just average and lacked flavor. I only wish we didn't have a time limit, but this was their soft opening. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. We can't wait to get back. read more

This is a very fun place to grab a drink and an appetizer before a movie or with friends. The drinks are great and very delicious but expensive. The coconut shrimp app i would not recommend. It has a very weird texture to it. We did eat one shrimp each and told the server we didn't care for it. She was very friendly but didn't take it off our bill. I had the fillet it was great and my H had the ahi tuna he said it was mediocre. The total bill w tip and tax was $130.00 and we shared a drink. The ambiance is super fun ! They did a great job but the menu is limited with only 4 choices for entrees. It's pricey too but overall a really fun place. read more
