Sticking with the ownership’s alcohol theme, the former Liquid Bread in downtown Campbell is reinventing itself and could reopen in fall.

The location at 379 E. Campbell Ave. will turn into “a shot and beer bar with elevated pub food,” according to owner Jordan Trigg, the CEO and president of Dipsomania Inc., which oversees 7 Bamboo, 20twenty cheese bar and Jack’s Bar & Lounge, all in San Jose. The company also holds “beer walk” events in San Jose and Campbell.

Dipsomania also operates Spread Deli & Bottle, a short walk down Campbell Avenue from Liquid Bread.

Liquid Bread closed June 25. Trigg says he is in the permitting process with the city and hopes to have the restaurant’s new concept ready by October.

Liquid Bread was Trigg’s second venture, the first being when he bought Jack’s Bar & Lounge 10 years ago. The 36-year-old Willow Glen resident said he fell in love with the bar and restaurant scene when he was a bartender during his college years.

“I got a ‘real grown-up job’ after college,” Trigg says. “I was bored. So a few nights I would go and bar back or bartend, and then I was making about the same amount of money. I was like, this is way better and much more fun.”

During that time, Trigg began thinking about owning his own bar as he couldn’t imagine bartending until 3 a.m. as he got older.

After he bought Jack’s Bar & Lounge, he and his high school friend went in together on Liquid Bread.

“We wanted to do something different with Liquid Bread and felt like we accomplished that and experimented and learned a lot from it,” Trigg says. “We feel like the new concept is the right move at this time for our company and for the area, too.”

Trigg says the new place will have more of a “low-key” vibe and a more casual atmosphere. Beer, wine and a full bar will still be available. Trigg says the bar will feature more than 20 beers on tap.

Traditional pub food will be served, but with a modern twist.

“We don’t want to pull fries out of the freezer bag. We still want to be very thoughtful and high quality as well,” he says.

The remodel won’t be anything drastic, he says, adding that some work was needed even before Liquid Bread opened.

“It’s a much needed makeover,” Trigg says, adding that plumbing issues will be addressed, a new bar will be built and the patio will be revamped. “From day one when we got in here it needed some work, especially since we had beaten it up for five years.”

As for the establishment’s new name, Trigg says he likes the idea of keeping Liquid Bread, but other names are in the works.
