Inn Of The Beginning

Cotati, California The Inn of The Beginning was founded in 1968 as a coffee shop and bar that provided both a watering hole and a venue for local groups. The opening night was September 28, 1968. Artists ranging from Neil Young, Van Morrison, Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin played here. The Inn Of The Beginning lasted through the mid-70s in its original incarnation. It re-opened in the early 80s under the name The Cotati Cabaret at The Inn Of The Beginning, when it merged with an establishment across the street.
