It's getting better. In comparison to other shopping centres it doesn't seem to have as many empty units. Good to see space used in the middle of the walkway to accommodate other traders. Hundreds of parking. Massive range of shops including Asda, River Island, JD Sports. Food Court, cinema and McDonald's within close proximity. Rivals Silverburn and my preferred option to the Fort as its under cover.

The forg shopping mall is one of my favourite mall. Had a great experience over there 😇 special their food area is very beautiful 😻 also they have a place for children to play some games ❤️😍😇🫡

This shopping centre is vast if you can't buy what you need then you most likely don't need it. But hold off your visit until the end of lock down if you want to appreciate the forge experience very clean cleaning team are superb

Great mall for basic daily stuff. Either side has great shops. Highly recommend. Free parking.

Went on Saturday for their Duggee Christmas day☃️ Littlest absolutely loved it and loved meeting duggee but other than that there wasn't majorly loads to do just enough to keep you going for a few hours ☃️❄ still enjoyed it!

The Forge Shopping mall is very clean, very maintained and full of amazing shops. Grocery stores like ASDA, Onebelow, Pound Land, Savers to other clothing brands like Peacock etc, lot of eateries too. Cafes - Bensons, Deja Vu and more. There is a fruit shop just at the entrance from duke street. Bus stops are nearby and you can drop off ASDA carts outside after loading your stuff into your vehicle or if you need to carry. Parkhead's best place to be!

Like a ghetto. The strangest shopping centre I have ever been in. Parked at the other end of the car park to avoid people banging doors into my car, walked in and went straight back to my car to ensure it still had its wheels. The selection of shops is a must see, from fake jewelry to real pawnbrokers they have it all.

A massive thanks to Liz at Forge Colour Print for our Christmas in July T-shirts for our family reunion after 60 years. Liz got our T-shirts done at short notice, they looked amazing and the family appreciate her and her team’s efforts. I would definitely recommend Forge colour Print to everyone 5 🌟 +. Thanks Liz Ash.

Could be a low 4 or a high 3. I quite like the old shopping centre actually. I have fond memories of it as a child at Christmas and going with my dad to see the Little Mermaid in the Cinema. But fast forward 30 odd years and it's slightly more depressing much like me. Everyone smokes, even the dog tied up outside was on the Vaping. Also some weird shaped women in the place, most of them look like they've put their leggings on back to front with their arse stuck inside them. Some decent shops and got something for most people. Long live the Forge

Plenty of parking and buzzing with activity! Very clean and easy to navigate. All sorts of bargains especially clothing, budget household items and gadgets. Highly recommended not to mention coffee shops and sweeties and jewellery , groceries and spas!

Thank you to security staff this evening on top floor, 2 gentlemen and 1 lady. They went out of their way to make enquiries re my Grandson’s super heroes poster which I had left behind on Saturday afternoon. They’re a credit to your shopping mall. Thanks again. Christine Bell.

Sadly not what it used to be. Was a great place in the past with great selection of shops however more and more seem to have closed. Still great parking and always clean and well maintained inside.

I know one of the security guys in the Forge who does it STERLING WORK FOR THE KINDNESS HOMELESS TEAM AT GEORGE SQUARE IN HIS SPARE TIME! WELL DONE I COMMEND YOU ON YOUR WORK AT THE FORGE AND GEORGE SQUARE! HAPPY' NEW YEAR MATE AND WELL DONE! This man deserves an award from King Charles for the STERLING WORK he has done!

One of the security men has attitude problems. very condescending, standing outside the shop, crossing his arms and watch you as you shop. never felt so uncomfortable and offended!

Forge shopping centre have great collection of so many different shops e.g toys , beauty, gift , asda , clothes and some restaurants as well , the parking is free and its also out of low emissions zone

Didn't realise at first it closes so early! Had to go to that horrible McDonald's across the parking lot to wait for my ride home. Shops are good, some interesting places to visit.

We visit the Forge every couple of months and have never been disappointed but, oh dear! Today (November 11th) we were assaulted with a level of volume from the "music" from the moment we entered. If was unnecessarily loud and spoiled our enjoyment. We would normally give a five star rating but not today. ☹️

Our visit to The Forge was productive and enjoyable. Visited the many great shops, and my wife and my sister splashed out on new trousers and blouses from Bonmarche and New Look.Also had a great breakfast at a reasonable price in the local Bensons Cafe. All in all, a happy and enjoyable experience.

Lots of good shops. Not too busy so picked the right day. Plenty food and coffee places. Very clean and tidy centre.

Plenty shops n great when it's raining everything in doors .

Shocking the amount of people walking around without masks . Also gathering in centre is frowned upon but happens daily

Just like city centre. Future big attraction for shopping

It was clean well managed but because of covid 19 restrictions it was very quiet

The forge has a plethora of shops. There is even a reading place for adults and children to stop at and relax in. There are massage chairs and really nice places to eat. Hair dressers, cobbler, wigs, you name it they have it.

Reasonable shopping centre in the east of the city, close to Celtic Park.

Thanks for a great day yesterday thanks to everyone at the forge

Great shopping centre lots of shops to visit and eating places all indoors. The market just over the road well worth a visit.

Nice shopping Center in Parkhead, Glasgow.

Always get what u need and in this case to print something off. Saved my skin as was a Saturday and lucky it was open.

Everything under the same roof and Mcdonalds out the back of the centre

(Translated by Google) It's good for shopping (Original) انه جيد للتسوق

Thts everything starting to open back up now so thank god

Ok

Need a face lift! Full of odd shops and poor eateries

Great choice of shopping and food

Normally good but during these times of social distancing it was a nightmare, customers do not seem to understand the one way system, half carrying masks but not wearing! this is not the centres fault but that of the general public. The toilets however were a disgrace, half closed due to distancing and those that were open were filthy and covered in excrememt, perhaps if the cleaners were working Instead of blocking footpaths standing chatting to their friends this would be improved.

Super, and got what we needed.

Wide walking areas & plenty of shops offering all you can imagine including a fruit stall! .what I like is it's so clean & too bright but pleasant to walk through.

Great shops in Forge

It's very handy shopping centre. Phone shops, phone accessories shops, clothing, asda, tea coffee shops, barbers, holiday shops and many more. Easy access.

very well setup

Asda low on stock but okay

Excellent

Almost everything in the 1️⃣ place lol ?

Very quiet but organised

Amazing good shops here

Good for all types of items

Good got what was needed But I lived nearby so no hardship

Well marked out for social distantl

Great place plenty of variaty

Great shops

It is alright and getting back to being normal again

Very nice

Brilliant

Great variety of shopping

Ok

Twentys plenty

Lot of options for shopping. Nice wee food court to relax and enjoy a coffee

Small place but has some main shops

all available in one place

Fantastic shops

It's okay.. But limited..

I visited this afternoon to allow a friend to get her nails done and have a new watch strap fitted. We had a coffee and a cake while we were there. A good place to do shopping.

One of the most depressing retail sites in Glasgow. A barren soulless concrete void. A utter fecal jewel of planning indifference.

got the main shops you need some toy shops and quite a variety of clothes shop, one of the big supermarkets too so worth a visit 👍

Great place to shop! Lots of shops, bathrooms and stuff to do! (Some stuff is closed due to lockdown)

We love the forge, benson's cafe! Peacocks! Primark! In shops! Everything you need in doors 👌

Hadn't been to The Forge in years and I really enjoyed my afternoon there on the 23rd of December. Massive variety of shops and the big Asda to do your shopping 🙂

Quiet at the moment, put has everything you want and need and is always kept clean.

Very good

I forget whag

Asda had what I was looking for,

Love this place 🥰💕

Sad to see.

Very clean place security is very friendly

Alot of different shops

Love that place

Could shop safely

Place is totally downhill in terms of what it has to offer.

It was empty

Everything you need under one roof 👍

Big and lots of shops

Great place

shops always busy people can be really rough and cheeky with being slang and noisy kids screaming I couldnt get past people when trying to walk out was having a panic attack with the noise of screaming and people being really nasty to each the security guards were oblivious to the whole situation and wearn't doing anything just standing about watching I felt trapped in here I wasnt use to see these horrible people from east glasgow shouting loud and wasn't use to the east end and I couldnt find what I was looking for wont be back

Clean shop helpful staff

Quiet most of the shops closed ,was there for work

What can I say? Nothing is open. So maybe not the best time to comment

Beautiful place

It is very covid aware lovely and warm and friendly people and great shops

Not many places open due to tier4

Its ok

Not much open due to lock down but still good

Very clean 👍

It's a shopping centre

Was really busy on Christmas day

Too many people Not wearing masks. Won't hurry back ,sorry

Very scary. During this pandemic no one seem to adhere to social distancing, many not even wearing masks. Won't be coming back for a while.

Best thing about the place is the way out

What's the point of having a one way system that a lot of people are just ignoring? Don't feel safe shopping here at all just now.

Horrible place to visit just now. Doesn't take covid guidelines seriously. Walking from front to back going into 3 shops, I counted 118 people either not wearing masks or having them under it under Their chin. This includes staff from officers club, sisters cafe, Holland and Barrett, the jewelers in the corner (across from one below) and hairdressers in inshops. I'm full aware of people being exempt but doubtful this many. I applaud the people wearing the lanyards to say they would be exempt. Multiple people walking down the wrong way - including security! - or the walking in the wrong way of some shops - Asda and Primark - without staff saying anything where they are at the entrance. What chance have you got. Bring on another full down lockdown.

Not to busy

At the moment with covid only certain shops opened, kept clean & tidy shops that are opened are well kept with hand sanitizer & distance rules

Great place, tho a lot shut due to covid

At the moment because of lockdown almost all the stores are closed, so I've given an average of 3 stars,

All closed mostly covid rules

(Translated by Google) I do like the center. But I think there should be more stores so we don’t have to go downtown, if not the rest I like everything (Original) Gosto sim do centro. Mais eu acho que deveria ter mais lojas para nao termos que ir no centro da cidade,se não do resto eu gosto de tudo

Great shopping centre

All shops closed so sad

Nice meal at Daughters. Waitresses were nice. Food was very fast like within about 7mins or less. This was my first time going there. My husband had been before and loved it so thought we should go. We will definitely be back. Also lots of stores at the Forge. Great shopping experience.

The Forge has shops that aren't in other shopping centres I usually go to. Unfortunately, it's a little out of my locale for me though, so I don't get to go often. It would be good if there was a record shop also but I can't have everything!

If it's cheap and cheerful (some might say tacky) you're looking for, then this place is ideal. There's not a huge amount in the place of note. Asda, primark and a couple of perfume stores along with travel agents and cheap/tacky stores.

What a dump. You cannot get into the shopping mall without losing your lungs first.. then you get inside and everybody is vaping. My lungs cannot handle Forge shopping mall... Not to mention that they are breaking the law. Horrible smelly place ... Not worth my hard earned money. Wish I could give them NO STARS

Mostly pound shops and stalls selling cheap rubbish for mobile phones. Couple decent shops I think. Not the best shopping centre I've been in. Wouldn't be in a particular rush to go back. Had to collect an online order of books from The Works store. Get 'em delivered next time save me going.

The forge is good enough if you're on the hunt for toys or cheap clothes. But it doesn't offer a wide variety of shops or cafes.

Great shopping centre holding a diverse range of stores. The only negative is the location, with streets being crowded and access quite poor.

Good little shopping centre but lacking in variety. Benson's cafe should be avoided at all costs due to lack of food hygiene but the daughters cafe I think it's called is amazing. Clothes shops are a hit or miss but if you take into consideration the new next outlet that opened at the retail park then it's pretty good. Something for all ages and great soft play areas for kids although the soft play could have tighter measures in place to stop bullying.

It’s a shopping mall but it it kept very clean and tidy and the toilets are always immaculate. Should also say that most of the staff are friendly and helpful though a couple of the security guys need retraining. All in all it’s worth a midweek afternoon stroll as the weekends can be a bit Boris Karloff/Alfred Hitchcock - at.

Friendly little market. Limited stall contents so best if you have something in mind eg rugs, disabled aids,food, clothes. Childrens area with trampolines and electric cars. Very good restaurant serving wide variety of meals plus separate coffee stops. Car wash in car park if needed!

Everything u need within one place you have clothes, toys , food, cinema, softplay plenty of option to help you get all your needs done through the day

Good shopping centre. There was every kind of shop you could want. We bought a good few items.

The design of the shopping center is very lovely and wonderful.. It includes all shops of high end and includes Scotland's biggest ASDA..The frequency of buses through this route is very less..

Nice big shopping centre with lots of varying shops and cafes. Anything you need its here. Has travel agents, clothes shops, cafes, pet supplies, phone accessories, Asda, etc. Pleasant atmosphere. Very busy.

Nice clean shopping centre. All stuff available from clothes food shoes barber parlor grocery. Easy access entrance. One is with Royal bank of scotland the other is with Asda parking that is very huge. There are some sofas can bee seen just in case u are tired so can relax and have some food. Thanks

Great to see some in - shops opening up again,went in to Cordbie Blinds,lovely girl there helped big time,when hubby decides to measure my old blinds we'll go back and order the one's of our choice.

Bit run down and very cold, has a decent selection of shops.

The forge is getting more stores now but I don't know if it's because of the holidays then they have more closed. We ate in Benson's we all had things topped with stew gravy like a scotch pie and chips well worth a visit staff were very attentive and never stopped

Good place to spend an hour. You can find anything you need, and you don't Ave to spend a lot. Good variety of shops.

A nice shopping centre with plenty of free parking. Lots of good stores including Asda. There is the market and retail park nearby.

Amazing place to be so many things u can buy and do ur shopping at the same time like food grocery, clothing have a cup of coffee ☕️ and your done for the day 😜

The forge was very old school in how it presents on the outside but the shops were more modern and welcoming, I walked through and the atmosphere was bustling with people from different areas all mingling and shopping, with lots of wee places to sit and relax. It was lively and lovely.

It’s so tired these days, it’s such a shame. Still some good shops and cafes but it wouldn’t be my first choice. Also the Asda really smells of the chickens they cook, it was overwhelming even though I like that smell!

Was actually in Asda, looking for a couple of specific items, but could not find what I needed. I knew it was a bad sign when I couldn't even find a green basket at the store entrance - only trollies!! I daresay the rest of the shopping centre is okay, but Asda needs to improve.

Had a very relaxing day shopping was. Such relaxing day off shopping a have done in ages x

This review is more on asda than the forge had a run in with a asda staff member parking hur car in a disabled bay with no badge full uniform on to be told off hur the disabled bays are just a curtesy of the store and anyone car park in them while people in wheel chairs csnt get a space due to people like this and asda dont care what happens in the car park as its not their responcability

The shopping centre is nice and spacious, but you may come across some ignorant people during the afternoon (peak). Best off turning up in the morning and leaving in the afternoon, or turn up in the evening after the peak.

Good variety of shops and restaurants for decent prices. Theres also a cinema and a huge indoor market (recommend getting some sausage rolls or bridies) just outside the shopping center. Good access with transit as well

Nice shopping center. Lot of small shops beauty and saloons. Good place to hang out.

Went to a few different shops & every shop I went to had the goods I was looking for staff very professional & helpful love the forge everything under the one roof & you don't get soaking wet when it's raining lol xx
