The former Liquid Bread site at 379 E. Campbell Ave. is prepping to reopen as the Boiler Maker next month.

Jordan Trigg, CEO and president of Dipsomania Inc., said Boiler Maker will be a completely new concept when it has its soft opening in mid-February.

Dipsomania Inc. oversees 7 Bamboo, 20twenty cheese bar and Jack’s Bar and Lounge, all in San Jose. A few blocks down on the East Campbell Avenue strip is Spread Deli and Bottle, also run by the same company.

Trigg said the concept for Boiler Maker is what “we wanted Liquid Bread to be in the first place,” adding that the revamped eatery will be more of a fast, casual pub compared to the sit-down dinner concept of Liquid Bread.

Trigg said there will be a full bar, which will include local craft brews, wine and cocktails. Patrons will order food at the bar and have it brought to them, similar to Spread’s ordering process.

“We want it to feel like your neighborhood bar with still great food,” Trigg said, adding that a new jukebox compliments the decor and sporting events will be televised.

Trigg closed Liquid Bread in June after five years of running the gastropub to bring Boiler Maker to life. When this newspaper last sat down with Trigg in July, a fall opening was anticipated.

“It definitely hasn’t gone as fast as planned,” Trigg said, adding that there have been a few challenges with the location’s remodel. “After five years of doing Liquid Bread, we’re excited to revamp it and do the Boiler Maker. It’s not going to look like Liquid Bread with lipstick.”

Rather than opening Boiler Maker in a new location, Trigg decided to stay where he got his start.

“I was a bartender in Campbell 15 years ago,” he said, adding that much of that time was spent behind the bar at the King’s Head, which is now The Spot, and Sonoma Chicken Coop, now Campbell Brewing Company. “I’ve always been in and around Campbell.”

Liquid Bread was Trigg’s second venture, the first being when he bought Jack’s Bar and Lounge in San Jose’s Japantown 10 years ago. After he bought Jack’s, he and his high school friend went in together on Liquid Bread.

“We just like what’s going on in Campbell, and we feel that this Boiler Maker concept fits perfectly in Campbell,” Trigg said.
