Brew Pub lives up to its name
by Dean Visser
On Monday nights at J. Cole’s Brew
Pub on Willamette and 10th, you can
stare down a mile-long row of exotic
wood and brass taps while live basket
balls fly overhead. On Tuesday
through Saturday nights you can ab
sorb anything from pop rock to jazz
from a sampling of West Coast bands,
and on Sundays there are free movies,
pool and popcorn.
“The bottom line is sports, beer and
rock ’n roll,” says owner Jeff Cole,
but his establishment is no typical
football counter where patrons can
choose between beef jerky and pick
led eggs, or between Budweiser and
Budweiser. Cole wants to fill in some
missing pieces of Eugene night life
with a patchwork of effects, a little
something for everyone. There’s the
live music selected more on the basis
of quality than genre, the 36 designer
beers on draught and the spotless and
sparse decor, but J. Coles isn’t above
hosting “pig” basketball contests after
Monday Night Football. Players shoot
from anywhere in the building, in
cluding the balcony. Ladies’ night is
every Tuesday with male, exotic
dancers.
J. Cole’s greatest shrine to eclec
ticism, though, is the beer rack that
takes up half the counter. Its 36
spigots comprise the greatest variety
in the Northwest, as far as Jeff Cole
knows. Customers can quaff the old
stand-bys, classic German pilsners
such as Dortmunder Union and Pau
laner, or can wade through a rare
draught Guiness Stout, that sacred
staple of industrial Britain, black as
a peat bog and bitter as divorce. Best
of all, they can critique and enjoy the
products of our western microbrewer
ies, America’s most welcome innova
tion yet for true beer lovers.
Like the great artistic breweries
scattered around Europe, many of
these operations are small and family
run; tastes range from exquisite to
“interesting,” but each has some
wonderfully individualistic character
instilled in its product. J. Cole’s of
fers six or seven microbrewery beers
that are next to impossible to find on
tap anywhere else in town, including
Full Sail and Oregon Trail ales. Also
featured are names growing in popu
larity, such as Grant’s line of ales and
Seattle’s Red Hook products, in
cluding the outstanding Ballard Bit
ter. Ballard Bitter is as strong and

Sth & High, Eugene. Oregon
sprightly as a clear fall day, and exem
plifies the best qualities of microbrew
eries: the difference between it and
a bottled beer is like the difference be
tween a fresh Granny Smith and a can
of applesauce.
J. Cole’s works on getting the same
kind of quality and variety in their live
music. Manager Scrafford Orser,
himself a member of Eugene’s psy
chedelic band Hole in the Ocean,
lines up local bands during the week
and goes for bigger names on the
weekends. Any kind of music is con
sidered, with a general aim in the
direction of the danceable. “We want
to provide a good club atmosphere,”
Orser says, “an alternative to die teen
places or discos.”
A cathedral-high ceiling and bal
cony add further to the appealing con
tradictions in J. Cole’s atmosphere.
This space opening overhead makes
for a subtle, interesting variation on
the standard, closet-like feeling of the
usual friendly and smoky neighbor
hood pub. It also makes J. Cole’s a
pleasant dining spot, and so does the
food; there’s breakfast, lunch and din
ner, consisting mostly of the lighter
American soups and sandwiches that
go perfectly with a good beer. The
free happy hour buffet includes hot
appetizers.
Cole and Orser keep the mood at
J. Coles low-key, a setting in which
anyone can relax and feel welcome.
They are innovators of the laid-back
good time people go to pubs to find,
using twists like the regulation NBA
breakaway basketball hoop to make
things a little more interesting. Cole
is considering starting his own
brewery, with its works inside the
club. Local laws will allow either the
brewery or a hard liquor bar, but not
both, so the J. Cole’s people are look
ing for some public and customer in
put on the subject.
