    How market is such a wonderful place to hang out, have a drink, eat some delicious food, and shop from really thoughtful vendors. They care about the community they are a part of and it’s always a great time. Love the live music and look forward to it coming back.

    The concept of Bow Market is fun, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The tables are nice, and you can peruse the variety of food sellers but at the end of the day everything is exceedingly overpriced and the options are slim. You'd think with so many shops you'd have a hard time deciding what to eat — instead we had a hard time deciding what to eat because there were few such few options that looked good. Want some simple chips and dip? You're outta luck. You could get a single chocolate chip cookie for $6 though. Lots of dogs though. So that's a plus.

    Bow Market has transformed Union Square into my favorite metro Boston destination. The variety of indie shops and the food and drinks, concentrated in a small outdoor mall scattered with outdoor seating, offers a shopping experience free of the chain drudgery during the day and livens up into a nightlife destination later on. From their new year's eve party to the rotating pop up features, there is always something new for me to check out while revisiting old favorites that have stuck around.

    A smaller version of Quincy Market in Union Square, it’s pretty much a courtyard with two stories of food vendors for you to order food and drinks from. Parking is terrible and hard to find on the street, so come during lunchtime when it’s less crowded. Also, make reservations to get an umbrella table, which they charge $6 for but worth it bc of how small the courtyard is and everyone wants to sit there. We ordered from the Blue Fin Raw Bar where they offer lobster roll as a slider (great for us women who don’t want to eat a whole sandwich) as well as a half dozen oysters which were so fresh and light. Ordered drinks from the wine shop right by the entrance and all in all had a wonderful time. Will definitely go back!

    Absolutely not worth your time. Tik tok is a lie is you saw it on there. Chocolate mousse 15$ the packets at the grocery store are 100% better. Some of the shops where better then others overall not great

    Bow Market is a cool little place to check out. There are local shops and local restaurants to order food from. It used to be an old school car storage building, and each shop/restaurant is inside an old garage, so the inside of these stores are very small. You can rent a small table for an hour or so and sit next to a gas fire pit. You order drinks via ToastTab through your phone which are then delivered to you, although it may take a long time. To order food you have to go to each restaurant and place the order. Overall it is cool to check out once, but other than that, it’s not worth it. With a little bit of reorganization and better management, it could be much better.

    Awesome spot to grab some food and drinks. Lots of interesting shops. Good place to find a gift for a friend. Wide variety of options. Lots of comfortable outdoor seating. I noticed the bar there was running trivia on a Monday night. Bow Market is such a great part of the neighborhood. It really adds to the community.

    Gorgeous hang out location for a group of friends or a date! It is hidden in between unsuspecting buildings, but you'll probably find your way there because people are always walking in and out of this place! Lots of great food! Food is on first floor and boutiques are on second floor. Grab a seat in the shade while you can. It fills up quick.

    We went on this gorgeous November night with the weather being so warm, what better place to be than outside! I had read so much about Bow street and I was dying to try it out. As first it was a little overwhelming with the whole ordering from different places and having it delivered to your table, but once we started, it was so much fun!! It is a great little urban hideout with cool shops and fun restaurants! Definitely a young vibe but who cares all one needs to be is young at heart!! We will be back on a nice sunny afternoon for cocktail s around the fire pit.

    I got a reservation for a fire pit table on a cold night. The whole experience was so much fun. We got food and drinks from four places, and everything was phenomenal. Will go back ASAP. Great for outdoor diners! I dressed properly and was happy, but my companion was cold. The fire was delightful but couldn’t match a blustery frozen evening.

    Ok. This place is bananas. Tucked away at the end of a side street that feels like glorified alley, you'll find this little outdoor hipster oasis. Shops like a vinyl record store and a vintage pinball arcade that actually takes quarters sit next to modern food truck style takeouts and breweries that deliver right to your courtyard table. It feels like Boston stole this place from California and hid it where no one would find it... Which is OK with me because theres that much of a better chance of scoring a table.

    Fun spot where you can hang out and enjoy food from various eateries. There's a few shops here as well!

    Bow Market was a treat to visit. Tons of food and drink options paired great with the large amount of outdoor seating. If you can, reserve a fire pit as well - that was particularly awesome.

    A cute area to sit down and enjoy breakfast with coffee or juice

    Cute shops, neat little area, great set up for hanging out with friends. The decor and set up changes seasonally, so you can truly enjoy the space year round.

    Multicultural market. My first time there. I visited Fruit Smoothie Jamaica pop-up in Nibble Kitchen. The curry chickpeas and rice was delicious!
