4 • The Southwest Portland Post BUSINESS February 2017 THE COUNTRY STORE By Erik Vidstrand The Southwest Portland Post New bar opens inside John’s Marketplace A new bar has recently been built inside John’s Marketplace in Multnomah Village. Managed by Eldon Farlow, a former general manager of a local pub, Farlow is an ale specialty buyer and draft manager. “We will be tapping five different kegs and one nitro tap for five dollar pours,” Farlow said as he served customer Oliver Manuel. “The amount of beer I pour in your ale glass depends on the type of ale being offered,” Farlow explained. Manuel organized last year’s Nano Beer Fest which was held in John’s parking lot. Started back in 2008, the Nano Beer Fest began at Max’s Fanno Creek where the owners were looking for a way to showcase the local small brewers who were coming on the scene. “Mark your calendars for the next Nano Beer Fest from April 20-23,” Oliver announced as he sipped his port. “We’re expanding the event and will feature even more beers.” John’s Market was founded in 1923 by John Feus, a Swiss immigrant who settled into a storefront along what is now Capitol Highway in Multnomah. In 1958, the store relocated to the site of the former Eldon Farlow and Oliver Manuel show off the new bar in John's Marketplace. The grand opening is sometime in February.

John’s flourished as a grocery market until the large box stores and shopping malls appeared throughout southwest Portland. The second owner, Jack Furman, had a new formula for success. He put in a large wine selection and sold beer for less. Furman later began to operate the store as a marketplace, using part of the space for a grocery store and part for a deli. In 1999, David Percival became the third owner of John’s Marketplace. The bar will be open Tuesday – Saturday from 2 p.m. – 9 p.m. A grand opening will be taking place sometime in February. “Look out for the marquee outside Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?
