Did us right. Thank you! My college roommate died unexpectedly, and a group of us met here the night before the funeral to celebrate his life. The team at Boiler Maker took excellent care of us, reserving the patio, and making sure we were looked after. We were predictably emotional and obnoxious grieving our friend, and I commend the staff for the prompt and curtious service. Great team, much appreciated. Thank you!

Came here for the "Scratch Cookery" pop-up shop today from 11-2 just for their spicy chicken Sando. Peep the photo it was a 10 out of 10

You know there is a problem when... It's a full bar..but oh sorry we can't make you that drink we are out of that. We have a limited menu, we are having staffing issues. And the food you order is cold. You try to order a beer and the bartender is too busy to take your order because she is too busy talking to the other bartender about "Aron" who ever that is. But they have time to poor themselves a beer. I'm out!!! Too bad it used to be a great place!

This place is a great little gem in the ever-changing tapestry that is downtown Campbell. Sometimes I wonder if Campbell was built on a native burial ground given how quick the turnover is with the restaurants. Boilermaker has been there for around two years and it's a lovely, homey spot. The decor is pretty neat. It's got the hip "industrial" thing going on. Check out their taps! They all have different handles made from things you might find in a vintage garage. Wicked cool- I have never seen anything like it. They have a wonderful beer selection! All sorts of options for whatever your taste may be. Calm atmosphere- folks aren't here to get jacked up. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender. I think he was also the owner- a really nice gentleman who clearly took pride in his establishment. Wonderful place to step away from the bumping 20-somethings that crowd a lot of the other bars.

The place serves big portions and for reasonable rates. very nice staff. They never disappoint.

Higher than average selection of beers, negatives are the ambiance fueled by a jukebox and giant TVs, as well as the mediocre food. This was our first time in after a few attempts previously that went awry. I loved this place when it was Liquid Bread, I wish they had been able to sustain the business with the amazing food and great drink concept. I had the Lupi IPA from Shadow Puppet and the kale salad. The "tossed salad" came untossed and more fruit than salad. The beer saved the day. Husband's cheesesteak was good but he didn't like the fries. In the time we've been sitting here we've seen a few couples and groups walk in and out without sitting down. Kinda wish we had done the same as my expectations were much too high, probably because I had elevated them from Liquid Bread.

I don't scope out the bar scene often but met up with a friend here tonight around 7pm and it was moderately busy. It's a cozy bar that's offers plenty of TV screens so you won't miss the action from any angle and seat. The inside decor is nice and clean but can get tight if it's super busy. My friend and I ordered some fries and chicken strips, they both were good especially the chicken strips, you can tell they were super fresh. The size of them were very generous too! Everyone who worked here was nice and attentive. I'd recommend this place if you're looking to meet up with a friend or two to hang out and grab some drinks and some munchies.

Good easy spot for an afternoon or evening beer. They have an impressive array of quality beer on tap, I understand that they rotate it frequently. The staff know their beer and are not shy about making recommendations. Good spot.

I used to love this bar, but the last two times I've visited the bartenders lower the volume on the jukebox when people pay to play something they don't like. Today I went for a couple of drinks during "happy hour" only to notice they charged me full price after all, they showed the "discounted price" but added extra charges. Sketchy business operations much?

My wife and I just tried this place yesterday and were very impressed. They have a good beer menu, big TV screens for watching sports, and the bartender (she had fire red hair and tats) was very attentive. Their hefeweizen brew (I forgot what it was called) was excellent. We didn't try any of their food as we were on a little beer walk tour of downtown Campbell but we would definitely come back here to try something off of their menu.

I always mainly come here for the drinks. They got a variety of beers on tap and cocktails. I like the cucumber cocktail. It's not too sweet and it's refreshing! The beers are a hit or miss. The food is ok. Your typical bar food. But the service is great and fast!

One of my favorite places for happy hour after work and just in general. Getting shot of second or third shelf is priced decently. Their food will always be worth getting. If you aren't into really doused wings I would order wings with sauce on the side. Nachos and meat are worth getting especially the steak nachos. Also haven't met a bar tender that hasn't been friendly or accommodating to what you need, they have always been friendly and great.
