I'm a sucker for a great hardware store, and this open marketplace may top them all. There are of course the many shops with paint, nails, tools, floor coverings — you name it, but what I love here are all the giant motors, saws & blades, electrical devices and peculiar things (frequently from the Soviet era) I can't figure out at all and have to make up my own story for how and why they came into being. I only had an hour or so there for the first visit, but I'll be back. You really need time to wander and wonder. In a practical vein, I did find the size of washer I needed to shim my door hinges.

Without knowledge about Georgian language only in Russian possible...but some scams are there ..so keep your eyes open...i had good experience with authentic dealers

You will buy anything for your house repairs and not only, at Eliava Market. It is literal market with small businesses inside. The prices are much lower comparing to other huge repair shops in Tbilisi like Domini or Gorgia. Sometimes the price is even negotiable.

This place is the epitome of chaos, but you can buy absolutely anything here - from DIY materials to car parts - at most reasonable prices in the city.

You can find everything here- from building materials to interior objects for quite good prices...although it is a challenge for European due to its dirty side:) ...like Lilo

Not a pleasent space to trade, very hot and dusty in summer, cold in winter. however, you'll find here anything you've ever looking for

A bazzar of car part's and home appliances and Building Materials... But most of products comes from Iran and Turkey

From building materials to fire extinguishers I think you'll find almost everything you need to build or fix a house here. There are many shops that sell the same product Too wide and you might get lost Mostly Georgian, but sometimes English is spoken Even foreigners could shop. very interesting place fun

Good place to find construction materials, car parts, etc. The place is an adventure in itself. Many little lanes and shops to explore. Even found some very nice little food stalls in there. The whole area is full of car service. If you try to find cheaper used parts including tyres, etc. this is a good place to go. Usually they are cash only. So come prepared. Also, no English in most places. But with a bit of effort you'll manage even if your Georgian is bad. Construction material while plentiful is usually the same everywhere. There's very little difference in quality of the stuff. However it's hard to bear Eliava on price. With a bit of digging and maybe some help from an experienced local you might find good gems. Pro tip, go early. Parking is limited and the place is generally very busy. It pays to be done before 12:00.

Worst service you can get. The pricing can be very good depending on your negotiation skills but unless you speak Georgian even that's not gonna happen. Take someone local or they'll gonna ripp you off

It's either very hot here, or cold, or muddy from the rain, but here you can buy everything for building a house, repairing an apartment, and not only...

Nice everything every tool for worker available Every kind of instrument House deeds Worker instrument Drill mashin .House employees. Washroom deeds electricity equipment.

Cheap market. Find all stuff. May 2023 update: still operating. This is the large market/bazaar where locals are buying all stuff.

Largest open air tool market ,filled will endless amounts of tools accessories and diy items

Eliava market is my lovely place to visit. It inspires me and i can find very useful things

Very big market with great choice of materials for constractions, decorating etc. Here I bought room lights (the same, as in brand shop) 2 times cheaper.

This is truly a special place, worth visiting. I even offer tours through the labyrinth of stands and shops, car part seller and workplaces. If you live here, surely: sooner or later you need something from Eliava market.

Lots of shops in line for shopping,eating, and drinking all of your choice. You all will love this area. Also, the church is just opposite

It's a good place to buy things for the home, it also has parking

Sure you will find what you're looking for but getting help is difficult. Salesman's mindset is absent and often you have a feeling that you're getting screwed

Everything is good you can find some decent prices walking area should be more organised needs some improvements in some areas other than that it’s fine

You will find everything you need for home renovation etc but its time to turn such a place into better organised trade center.

For the first moment it seems to be cheap prices, but so low quality...

Good place and u can found eveey thing u want.

Nice market for carpet and motor oils

Building materials, used car parts, agricultural tools all in one space.

High prices, low to middle quality car parts :(

Good

As far as supplies of building materials and ends and odds you've been looking for this is a great place! It is not well planned out so you may have to spend a lot of time searching different little stores and kiosks to find what you are looking for. It is also good to shop around... Don't just go for the first one you find, look around and if you speak the language (mostly Georgian - some do speak English though) try bargain a little.

One and only claster place for buying everything technical, mechanical and etc. Just everything except food and beverages

It's amazing place , you can always find your needs.

Need revolution to be more efficient Could be better in compair to other countries The value of demand is acceptable in Georgia But supply has not fit at all.

great place for Tools and house repair needs, the only place i found a replacement lock for my apartment, recommended.

kitchen appliances are much cheaper here than at appliance stores.

You need to have cash (they mostly don't have POS terminals), a lot of free time, must be able to bargain, and you need to have a lot of patience. Still, probably you won't find any quality product at the market

Good place to find whatever you want for your household or car. But there are no signs to show where to find what you are searching for. Really terribly organized place and poorly placed roads, parking is far away and entrances are in really confusing spots

If you are looking for some tools or materials you couldn't find anywhere else, then this is the place. You will need some time and sense of orientation to find your way through as it is quite chaotic at first glance. The actual market is divided in sections where you can find a certain range of products. Electrical goods, carpentry, plumbing etc. I was impressed with the huge variety of items and very competitive prices . Of course you will not find anyone with a working knowledge of English. But that shouldn't be an issue. Nothing that a bit of improvisation and sign language won't solve.

Should show posted pricing shops have to be reorganized and rearranged Market does need proper zoning although located far from the city center, items are found expensive compared to those rated prices in Vake and Saburtalo. Market should work on providing quality products.
