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

Oregon Electric station along what is
now Multnomah Boulevard at 35th
Avenue, and a modern 12,000 square
foot supermarket was born.
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.

Wolf-Paquin’s work can be seen
in public spaces where she builds

Last year, the studio hosted a
fundraiser for Our House which
provides healthcare, housing, and
other vital services to low-income
people living with HIV.
“We also created a glass quilt in
collaboration with cancer patients,”
she said. “The quilt was sold at
a Doernbecher Hospital auction
for $12,000 and will be installed
at the new Guest House soon to
be constructed in the Southwest
Waterfront neighborhood.”
