Terrapin Crossroads, Music venue in San Rafael, US
Terrapin Crossroads was a music venue located in San Rafael housed within a converted restaurant building along the San Rafael canal. The facility featured a performance room, multiple dining areas, and outdoor seating spaces.
The venue opened in 2011 under the direction of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh as a performance space for the community. It operated until closing after its final concert in 2021.
The venue presented performances by local and touring musicians while maintaining strong ties to Grateful Dead musical traditions. Visitors could experience shows spanning multiple genres rooted in that musical heritage.
The main performance space held around 300 people with convenient parking access near Yacht Club Drive. On-site dining options made the experience straightforward without needing to leave the grounds.
During 2020 restrictions, the venue moved performances to the neighboring Beach Park to continue presenting live music. This quick adaptation showed how important the space was to the local music community.
