This place is retro, shabby, comfy, and delightful. Here in the heart of the Oregon craft beer scene, this place is the flagship of all things sold that come in a sealed container. Thousands of options here in one gigantic marketplace, and something for everyone! The marketplace itself is quite dated. Yet it is eclectic and quirky. It is welcoming and irrefutably very memorable. There is a dedicated area to serve beer on tap with a list of about 12 options and then there is a restaurant with a limited menu. Mostly things like burgers, sandwiches, and other common pub fair. There are vegetarian options available. When your order is ready, they use an overhead mic that is resemblance of something that you would hear over the loudspeaker at an 80s rollerskating rink. On site, there are bathrooms and areas for seating that include bar tops, high tops, and even a couple of comfy couches. There is an outdoor patio that is very inviting during the warmer months of the year. Ultimately, this is an incredibly impressive presentation of beverages. Perhaps even something that some people would consider a museum of sorts. Either way, there is definitely choices for everyone, and this is an establishment that can't be missed. Yes, you can visit the other location on Powell, but nothing will ever match up to the original location here in Multnomah village. An experience, a chance to shop and stockpile some beer, but truly a showcase of excellence in beer culture in the heart of our city. read more

I watched the most uncomfortable interaction here the other day. Some guy and his dog got kicked out even though he said it was a service dog. Great selection of beers. Tactless staff. read more

The burgers are unreal. You can tell all the ingredients are high quality and locally sourced. The turkey sandwich is also loaded and delish. I can't wait to try more! Also love the option to get a beer on draft or shop around and enjoy something from a cooler. Chill vibes, friendly for all ages, and patio which is dog friendly! read more

Great place to pick up any kind of beer you like as well as a solid sandwich or burger. I had the reuben and enjoyed every bite. If they had a fryer and made french fries i would have scored John's a 4 star. Will have lunch here again. read more

Burgers are bomb! I love that the cheese is crispy. They sell all kinds of varieties of beer. I wish they also served fries but I didn't really miss them. They offer chips too. Would return! read more

John's Marketplace may have been the best beer store I have ever seen. My wife and I were in Portland, and they took us to the Mecca of malt and hops. There was every beer you could think of in these expansive coolers. They even had a kiddie cocktail for my wife (Even though it is really a Shirley Temple) We ordered a draft from the extensive tap handles and my sister and I split a Rueben and the cold pastrami sandwich. Both were excellent and the bread on the cold sandwich was a perfect pairing, with the whole grains and everything. My brother-in-law is vegetarian and got a grilled cheese sandwich, with local cheese and he really liked it. We also got about 10 beers to bring home and sample for the evening. The service was great and food came out pretty happy and all the guests seemed happy with their beverages and food. read more

This is one of my favorite local spots to grab a Smash burger and a brew. Not to fret if you can't dine there though, they also take to-go orders over the phone. The food and service is no nonsense and straight to the point. Inside you'll find people who are excited to help you with selecting from what might be the widest selection of beer and wines in the multnomah village area. Seating at the bar, at tables inside, or outside on their "deck". This spot is a happening place to grab lunch or to meet up with friends. The pastrami sandwiches are pretty fantastic too. There is a parking lot right next to the building and you can even order kegs here! We're fortunate to have such a place in town! read more

Well...we finally made it. Originally we were going to meet friends at 5. And it was a BEAUTIFUL sunny spring day. But then we rescheduled for 7...and I miscalculated the COLD lol. I DO so wish they'd have patio heating at the seated area outside. It would have been great. If you're looking for Beer or Cider, you CANNOT beat the selection or prices. I asked for Wayfinder Jaws of Damnation and BOOM yes we have it!! Of course we have it. Awesome. Sauce. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. The food options weren't that great. While lots of people list the food carts ACROSS the street as options, they weren't open and we just hung out and drank. If the weather wasn't so cold it would have been so much better. AND if we ate. But it was great and I can't wait to be back when it's a bit warmer. read more

What a brilliant concept! My husband had been raving about this place for months and when I finally came here, I can see why. Thousands of varieties of beer - I mean this is the most beer I have ever seen at once. The only Con I could see was that it takes a good amount of time to pick one if you are not specifically looking for something. One of my favorites from Russian river is also stocked here , which is great since I no longer have to wait to go to Cali to drink one. We also got two smash burgers to go with our drinks, and boy were they good ! I would have personally liked some fries to go with it but alas that was not an option. The burgers were top notch though. There is a lot of open space inside as well as a patio outdoor and we took advantage of the winter sun and sat outside. read more

Hard to beat a tasty, $9 smash burger. But when you add in a delicious pint of beer on tap, it's possible! Staff were super friendly. Spacious seating inside and out. Even my 8 year old, who contends he doesn't like burgers, loved the smash burger. And the selection of bottled beer from around the world is excellent too. Will definitely be back. read more

Amazing pastrami sandwiches. Big enough to share! We always mean to try something else on the menu, but then always go with pastrami sandwich. Diverse beer selection as well read more

Thousands of beers and ridiculously good sandwiches and burgers - what else could you ask for? From your everyday common beers to your super obscure niche ales, John's has them all. I like to create my own 6-pack with a bunch of beers I've never tried. On the sandwich front - the Killer Turkey is unbeatable. Prefer your sandies hot? Their Reuben and Smash Burgers are top notch. The vibe is mellow, the staff is great, and the front patio is the place to be when the weather's nice. read more

John's Market been an icon in Southwest Portland - forever! They have a bit of everything you might need from time to time read more

If you're into great drinks, awesome burgers, laid-back vibes, and a staff that actually knows their stuff, this place is a gem. Whether you're popping in for a quick pint, hunting for a rare bottle, or just want to discover something new, this bottle shop delivers every time. The selection is thoughtfully curated--think local craft beers and tons of wines you won't find everywhere. It's the kind of spot where you can nerd out over tasting notes or just relax with a drink and good company. Jill's the best! Super friendly and knows her stuff. This place wouldn't be the same without this staff! Highly recommend :) read more

Great beer, selection, but super expensive. Fun if you are selecting a bunch of singles that you can't find any place else, but again super expensive. And here's the kicker, they declined my gift card, even though it was an entirely valid unused gift card. Nothing on the gift card says that it would expire, but they refused it. So never again. Good luck with that... read more

If you're into small-volume, hard-to-find craft beers or esoteric wines, John's is a goldmine. They do carry a lot of the big boy labels too, but the selection of local brews, ciders, and wines here is almost second to none. What seems like a nondescript storefront that's seen better days is actually a wine wonderland inside, complete with a separate bar area with 10 taps (usually local) and a grill serving some of my favorite sandwiches and smash burgers (I recommend the Killer Turkey). The stools at the counter here and the random scattering of tables nearby are usually occupied by Multnomah Village locals, so it feels very much like a community gathering spot too. The vibe is a little shabby, disheveled and low key, which makes this original location even more lovable. read more

Haven't been here for around 5 years, in part because they opened a shop on Powell much closer to home. But this is the mothership, and the broadest selection of beer in the city, if not the state. It's a big space and ton of choices, including a lot already cold. Especial coverage on OR and WA brews. Looks like a good-sized wine selection, but that's not my department. And I do want to try the food some time, a burger or a reuben or. they were serving a lot of food today on father's day. And, chipaholic that I am, happy to see a broad selection Tom's potato chips, a little thicker and crunchier than any others. read more

we like the burgers!! but every time im here the people working seem like im actually bothering them while i order. like ive really inconvenience them. i dont get why they seems so mad always? Just writing while i wait and i made a point to smile and say thanks just now and i got a " yep" in return. Owner needs to really do something about the staff read more

Grocery market indeed. Section of the store is a tap beer bar on the side. Would have thought they would have more than 10 taps but the package selections are ginormous. The service was the letdown ~ evident the bartender would rather serve some and ignore others. The simple smash burger was given with a frown and nothing memorable. Check dates ~ lot of the unique finds were outdated. read more

I haven't been here since before covid - I think it must've changed ownership in the interim... not at all what it used to be. They still have a very large selection but its half of what it used to be and the space has been changed into a restaurant. The staff is surly and the prices are crazy high. I won't be back. read more

Good food! Good service! There was live music, Tim Baltus and Jeff Baltus, when we went for First Friday! read more

Excellent selection of beers and they make very good sandwiches also. They have a small bar and good number of tables, but the inside does look like a liquor store. Nice people! All very helpful. read more

I hear the food here is great but I have yet to venture into ordering food when I have to wait for the cashier to finish hanging out with their buddy from a far or to finish getting themselves a drink from one of the ice tea coolers to give me any attention. The beer selection is fine but who cares when the place smells like a dirty armpit and the cashiers look and act like they are truly failing life, and are so unhappy to be there that if they cracked a smile, they might literally fall into pieces. I once pointed out to a cashier that they should have helped those who were at the end of the enormous line at the bar because we were already waiting in line to pay since no one was manning the register. And, instead of a "my bad", I got a such a nasty response, you'd think the kid's dad owns the place. Today, same thing. No one at the register and me and another at the bar looking to pay. I walk up and literally the same kid walks out while on the job and takes his friends to his car in the parking lot to put their belongings in the employee's car. The other girl goes toward the coolers and gets herself a drink. When I finally ask her if she works here on the way back because there was not one employee on the floor, she says yeah and gives me dirty look. I leave and as I try to pull out, the employee is with their friends talking in the middle of the parking lot and I can't get by. I stop and smile to make sure the employee sees me and they just tell their friends to move back and then glared back at me. This place is done for. You can go to many places nearby and get a delicious burger and a good beer. You don't need the hassle, the smell, or the funky attitude exuding like a toxic sewage into your life. If this was the only place to on earth to get a beer, I'd quit drinking. read more

Wow how far they have fallen. Used to be ]you could come in here and get a tour of the world through beer. Those days are long gone. They have focused on selling crappy burgers and tap beers in favor of the once proud tradition. I have lived here for 26 years and I remember coming into the market for sundries and in the days of snowstorms, the basics. Great neighborhood market. The regulars were there - Chris, here's looking at you. Today its a mockery of the old place. Dummies behind the till who know nothing, and the beers are flat. Go there and buy your NW beers if you want, you'll find them cheaper at the Plaid Pantry down the street, word to the wise. read more

We love John's Marketplace! We go here a few times a month for their great selection of ciders. They have so many local ones to choose from. They also have quite a few low-calorie ones for those of who want to drink more but not have drink a ton of calories. One of favorite imports is also here... I can no longer find it anywhere else. It is almost always busy but never feels crowded. I think the only time we've eaten here was during burger week a year or two ago, but the food was great. Not sure why we haven't been back for food but we totally should. read more

John's marketplace is your one stop shop for burgers, beer and wine! The burgers are delicious and affordable! I'm not a huge beer drinker but I love bringing people here when they're visiting from out of town. They have a thoughtfully curated wine selection that has unique wines from all over the world. read more

Perfect neighborhood spot. Been going for years, staff is super friendly and knows their stuff. You can buy the most random, niche beer, and you can buy everything by the bottle, so be prepared to have a good time. Also, the food is insanely good, way better than it has any right to be. read more

A shadow of what is once was. So much great product was eliminated to make way for sitting customers that it killed the reason to visit in the first place. read more

Really great place to pick up some rare beers, as well as drink off the tap and get some solid food. I put some pictures of my pickups and my cheese steak. I am from Philly so I'm pretty critical of cheese steaks... The steak cuts were definitely too thick... It could've used more cheese too. Everything else about it was great though. Food 3/5 stars but I bumped it up since I assume most people will visit for the beer read more

Chill, casual bottle shop with amazing food. The outdoor seating is a nice option on good weather days! The environment is family friendly, but seating gets limited on busy days. There's an almost overwhelming about of options and everything is well organized. Richie has given me numerous beverage recommendations and nails it every time! Can't wait to bring my parents here when they come to town. read more

Great food in this gem. Got the smash burger and a drink. Friendly stuff as well. Highly recommend if you need a chill place to hang.

I feel this one is by far the best one. The burgers are flavorful, the price is decent and the atmosphere is always fun. The service is always spot on. I've tried other John's but the burgers aren't as tasty, I think the grill needs more time for that seasoned grizzled flavor only an O.G.grill can provide. Who knows with more time that smoky unique taste will built up. Keep flipping them patties! read more

Great selection of beer. Can drink bottled beer if nothing on tap suits you, corkage fee. Tried some of their food again after seeing what some others were eating. I like the grill cheese, lots of cheese, good bread, also cheap. Would be perfect if cheese was sharper, as it loses most of that when melted. Turkey was good but ice cold. Philly not so hot. Oh you can bring in your own food like sushi from food cart across the street (call to order before you come here for time it is ready). Service is usually good except when busy. Open area with counter and tables too. Music and tv, but I usually use my iPad with headphones. Outside spot too. read more

Great place for buying a keg or a hard to find beer and also a reasonable place to have a sandwich We had two sandwiches, one was great and the other OK I would go back for sure read more

I've been going here for years to buy wine and attend their events, and hang out. The food and people are always wonderful!Patrick the wine guy is absolutely amazing! His ability to curate wines for your liking is perfect! They started a "cork club" which I'm so honored to be a member of! The first pick up club event was this last Saturday. It was amazing, the wines selected were brilliant and the tastings provided so much education on wines from around the world! I'm so excited to be a part of this club and exclusive tastings! Thank you John's Market in the Village and Patrick! read more

Rating just for their delicious smash burgers, great price and always so yummy. Great stop for a quick beer and burger.

Fred and I don't like doing negative reviews, but we sat down at the bar, the woman that came to help, we felt was very rude. It made Fred and I felt unwelcome. We stayed for a drink, but we felt awkward the whole time. Walking around the market part, and seeing all the different kinds of beer, was amazing. 5-stars!!! We would definitely come for cans and bottles to go, but won't come and sit at the bar again. If you're not a regular, I'd probably steer clear of the bar. read more
