First time visiting the Barras. Good for a unique experience and definitely bargains to be had but i wouldn't take the family again. Thick skin required and the unfiltered behaviour of some people wasn't family friendly. Would recommend a wee visit but don't take the kids

We went late on a Sunday so unfortunately the stalls were starting to close, however, the stalls were beautiful! So much variety and such good prices. We missed half of the market and have said we will definitely go back on a Saturday morning. Take cash as most vendors are cash only

First time at the Barras and I loved it. It literally had everything with a mix of old stalls that sold retro, vintage items to modern, handmade stalls with the coolest items and everyone was chatty and so friendly. This place has a great vibe and I can't wait to go back.

I mean it's a super vintage and great bargain market. But there are A LOT OF STUFFS so I got a bit overwhelmed I guess 😂 Public bathrooms inside are super clean even though you will get 90's vibe - (which you are supposed to get because this place is quite old and they have kept up the vintage 😇💕) - don't expect automatic taps or flushes. I liked the sustainable fashion stalls - A TON OF ITEMS AVAILABLE - every single items were cool ✨ Can get a bit crowded during the weekends. You will even get food stalls inside 😋 Really (overwhelmingly) nice and vintage marketplace ☁️

Contacted the market several times via their website regarding our small business setting up a stall to which we got no reply at all. Says to wait up to two days for a reply, nothing yet after a week. Clearly they are doing so well they don't need the custom and can just ignore business enquiries...

Absolutely love the Barras! There is literally something for everyone. Here you find food, clothes, toys, antiques, furniture, memorabilia, crystals, art, interiors. Even if you're skint, just a walk round the market let's you inhale the culture.

It's sad watching the decline of a genuine Glasgow institution, went here as a kid with my mum and bro and sis and it was a great day out, all colourful characters and busy and vibrant, yup I get that things change but looks to me like the gentrifying effects of the artists moving in here are going to kill off the working class charm of the barras till all that is left is one of those plaques you see saying here was such and such a place. Used to love just wandering around the wee flea Market parts and seeing what weird stuff you could pick up, but that seems to be getting smaller and more neglected by the day. Also miss going to the big book market part that was had everything from new books to 70s pulp horror and sci-fi, comics and just about every true crime magazine ever published.

Not changed since I was Young! Not as many stalls,my grandson's first time! He loved looking round the inside of the stalls..and the Cafe food was really 👌 good.fab wee day out!

At the barras, with the Hong Kong market... Can't wait until the next one

Nothing now but still pass through 4 ??

The Barras requires urgent investment mainly fake cigarettes tobacco and cds being sold there. Car boot sales are more attractive as car parking is more readily available. The Barras does not sell goods required by the average customer, looks run down and dilapidated... quite 😥.

Still amazing place for finding unusual items, bargains and more. Tools, furniture necklaces, clothing, shoes, drapery etc.

Was very excited to visit. Hadn't been since I was a child. Delighted to find there was still a good mixture of old and new goods but now augmented by greener and handmade goods. Not much in the way of vegan food but very friendly and fascinating.

Interesting place to go. But don’t expect too much as it mainly selling second hand goods and some special craft sovineirs.

Lots of stalls and a huge variety of things a lot more homecraft which is good. Also the beautiful building its self. A true famous landmark of the Scotland and the rest of the world

Great wee market, runs Saturday and Sunday only. Lots of bargains to be had, new and old, also, a good few antique markets and stalls. Mostly really friendly stall holders too, and not too pushy either. Best to head in early if you want to get round it as stall holders start packing up around 15:00-16:00.

Ye olde market experience - it used to be awash with "backup" software and DVDs, bootlegs, console chipping places, TV sender boxes to transmit cable signal to a second TV set and people trying to flog dodgy cigarettes.... Thats to say there used to be a reasonable amount of stuff in legal gray areas. These days the rise of online piracy has probably reduced the amount of all of that but I dare say there will still be some underground stuff around. By and large nowadays it's mostly antiques and a few of the little market stall type businesses are surviving. I've rated it 5 star mostly as it's an essential part of the Glasgow experience. Money in inside pockets though - be streetwise and cautious of pick pockets etc. Oh and whilst there will be food on offer...I would personally avoid it if you don't want the runs.

Wow what a find when we visited our daughter in the east end of Glasgow. This market has something for everyone, from utter tat to fascinating collectables and everything in between. Bigger than it looks, shall have to go back as im sure we missed a bit!

Canni beat the barras!! If you are passing through Glasgow, it is a landmark and it is well worth stopping by. Open Saturdays and Sundays, it will surely entertain you: finding lots of things, talking to extravagant personalities, a psychic will read your soul card, coffee shops and restaurants. All in walking distance from the trongate and the city center.

It used to be a truly wonderful market, far larger than it is now. Full of character, a vast array of objects to peruse from old coins and medals to butchers wares, clothes and oddities such as grandfather clocks. Most of it is now closed and stalls that remain amongst the empty ones are somewhat lifeless or selling junk left behind by abandoned stalls. Gentrification in motion with restaurants, bars and amenities creeping in. The barras as I knew it has long gone.

It's a shadow of its former self with a few hidden gems. I really love what the market was and is becoming the artist center in the middle has some great events and the little antiques market in the corner is a must see for any collectors. Overall a great quick visit for anyone visiting Glasgow but I really wish it to become the bustling trading hub it once was!

Flea market, with very few high quality items. Worth going if you have never to a flea market or don't have one in your home country.

Mix of the old and the new. Great wee stalls and people. Hadn't been for years and loved spending time milling around and picked up some lovely goodies. Worth a visit!

Still some interesting stalls to browse. Interesting military memorabilia area with cafe. All in all an interesting trip.

The new and improved barras. I hadn’t been here for over a year. It was a shadow of itself and now it is full of stalls and I’d imagine back to the way it was years ago. Plenty a bargains and worth a visit 👍🏻

This place is brilliant as if you looking for sum thing your parents or even your grandparents one of the stall holders will have it or know sum one who has it and if you have time it's worth a wonder around as every body is so nice and friendly so do your self a favor get up early and go

It's been painted so much more fresh look. Another tidier than previous years. Was quite busy overall good day 😌

Thee fan zone was brilliant!! Definitely do that again.

Good pubs in area nice n close to city centre and celtic park

A massive improvement since last visit much cleaner and busier.

Good market to walk through if you are looking for a bargain. It has seen some improvements over the years and there are far more independent creators, artists and sellers at The Barras now, too. Could definitely use sprucing up to make it look less drab though!

I could spend my entire money in this place… great for the collectors. However, improvement needed for lots of areas.

Great to see new life in the place, plenty of new craft stalls alongside the traditional market. Come along and support independent businesses and keep this iconic place alive.

Extremely good, varied market. The variety and scale of it all is exactly what we like to see at a market. In order to give the entire thing a fair shot, it really requires the entire day to look around. There's a fair share of rubbish stalls selling cheap low quality clothes etc, but the majority of rooms and stalls sell really interesting new/vintage/antique things, among all the food and knick knack places.

The Barras Market has over the past few months made big changes . There are many great new stalls. The food served is brilliant. An all round family day out. You never know who will turn up. Peter Capaldi did last week.

Mostly undesirable garbage or sun-faded new things. Best part (and most entertaining) is Randall’s spooky section.

The most weird and wonderful place I've ever visited! It's certainly not a high class market but it does have a whole lot of charm. There's everything you could think of from antiques, to dvds, to amazing independent artists stalls. Maybe not for everyone but I loved it

Busy, stalls not much to look at, disappointed

Just to be transparent, this is not a review of the barras but a specific event that was on. Not much to say, was looking forward to the Chinese weekend. Queued for 45 mins to get in and be told there was no food left. Good idea but a total shambles to be honest. Would be better to extend it to be bigger and have more stalls, the area was tiny. If it is on again I'll try and hopefully next time it will get 5 stars

So many antique and I really enjoyed looking at them

Great place for a walk around still get a good bargain for stuff

Iconic Glasgow Market. This is a great place to visit as a resident or a tourist. A resident might find all sorts of useful bits and pieces, from homewear to clothes, to bicycles and antiques. All at reasonable prices. For a tourist it's a chance for proper immersion in every-day Glaswegian culture. Always worth a little walk around!

A great place to visit. Lots of new mixed in with the old now. And plenty of places to pick up a nice snack.

This market was so sadly disappointing. I was on the hunt for a specific type of garment but pretty much everything there seemed like old used up junk. Not the “vintage goods” I was hoping for.

Always something to see, some stalls you can tell house clearance, last visit, someone's model train engine collection, just all thrown in a box, makes you think about your own possessions.

Not as good as it used to be, still get a bargain though, friendly place as its always been

I loved my trip today. Walked round the stalls having a look at them all. It was a good day out everyone was cheery and happy

Yes OK very chep

Not like it was in the day, but good for a wee outing

Not as good as it was when I was younger but still good to have a walk around and buy your mussels

Was a nice place, nice people. With coving 19 making people treat others like Aliens was no different

Mussels n viagra yass

No experience anymore

Great wander around today. Quiet and clean and Covid aware. Masks to be worn inside.

Very quiet due to restrictions

Very poor

Not what it used to be 😿

👏👏👏

Loved walking round this historic market! Fantastic for vinyl records & bric a brac, old ornaments ect!

Very helpful

It was shut

Haven’t been in mega years but i know one of the stall owners

So good

It's interesting to visit. If you're looking for furniture or anything second hand this is the place to go. There's warehouses full.

Glasgow at its best. Gentrification is heading there rapidly but it still has its old charm Well worth a visit

The place to get cheap foreign cigarettes and tobacco, dinky doughnuts, morning rolls with a hot cuppa tea. Great for photos & real east end vibes just a short stroll from city centre.

Undercover market within walking distance of Merchant City in Glasgow. Lots and lots of qwerty, vintage and one off antiques. It was apparent the market is going through a very hard time, some of the market stalls are no longer trading (since before the pandemic). There is lots of on the road parking available nearby, step free. Make sure you bring cashas there is not card payments options in any of the market stalls. Family friendly, great coffee shop inside the market, perfect for a fun day out

A parallel universe :) Accidentally got there and spent whole day. Been told its better to visit on Sunday (Ive been on Saturday, but still a lot of traders and deals.

Love it here . There are lots of unusual things to buy if you like a rummage

Enjoyed the traders bar toilets were spotless,nice staff,full of characters,will b back

Love the barras. You name it , you will find it there . The patter is free. Love it

Not what it used to be sadly. Handy for certain things and the area is up and coming as quite trendy. Some cafes and venues in area which are excellent.

Big change I think to covid 19. Looking a lot smarter and a lot of the rubbish has gone, but still have a long way to go. Well done

Unfortunately this is in massive decline and a good part of it due to enforced gentrification. Still a few characters here but way too many of the I am superior types.

Its not the same place now its changed a lot

Lovely day out lots of choice

Used to be lively but quite sparse if stalls now

The barras are a Glasgow landmark

The barras aren't as good as it used to be so it's went a bit flat.

Great auld Glesga trading place,,, still got the stalls and character

Not much happening

Good

Years ago it was a very popular place with plenty of stalls and bargains. Unfortunately with online shopping it is deserted now. They have just spent a fortune upgrading paths/roads.

The Barras is open selling everything... If you rummage hard enough you'll probably find the cure for covid in here someplace.

Brilliant place took me back to when my dad always took me when I was young and the same chippy is still there

They sell pre loved clothes and shoes and household stuffs...plus some food and drinks while you shop

Always good for Nik Naks ....

Nothing there.very quiet.not like it was in the eighty's

Quieter than normal, obviously,but still a wee adventure
