Reviews of Portage Place (Mall)

Paul Hewak

Great food court, they should tear down everything here except that and turn the rest into affordable housing

Rich Aymont

Good mix of general and boutique retail. Walked through centre court today (Good Friday) and was accosted and bullied by a security guard about loitering. It amazes me that a business whos press coverage has been less than stellar when it comes to its security policies and how it treats people, continues to act the way it does. Sure it's Good Friday, but to accost and bully people who are waiting for a bus, or just coming in out of the cold. I live in the community and just last week my partner and I bought a new cell phone from Koodo, spent 100$ on 2 blankets from a main floor kiosk, purchased a cell phone case from Staples, spend 75$ at Shoppers Drug Mart, and utilized the Service Canada location. This is in addition to several visits to Tim Hortons and Starbucks, plus a lunch in the food court. After today's experience, I will be seriously reevaluating my use of the mall and it's businesses. I am very disappointed!

Margerite Kakegamic

Very nice security lots of fast foods to choose from staff very friendly but the natives are annoying can't stand outside and vape thinking I have a smoke and have to come and bug me and won't leave me alone not good to stand outside and wait for a bus

Toria Danne

Face masks required. Not packed, calm atmosphere. Visited on a Monday, late afternoon.

Pug Fister

Saw a girl get groped by a stranger in front of security and they didn't do anything. What a nice place.

Gail Anderson

Bus connections are great as well as the walkway system to other city locations. Food court is popular and busy.

Rafael Ferreira

Bathroom dirty and people use drugs there

Grant Sinclair

There are a couple of decent stores in here, but this mall isn't much of a draw. Unless you're just picking up something specific quickly, going to polo park is a better option even with the extra travel time.

Robin Janz-Buhr

Got a great deal at Shoe Warehouse! Excellent service.

Kim

Not much in terms of shops there that aren't offered elsewhere. Once the business crowd leaves, the demographic is quite different.

Christy Boucha

Mall looks very empty but there are some great deals through out this mall

Pat Hilton

I've always liked spending time at Porter's place today was no different wasn't very crowded and the stores I visited were very helpful

Marc Bannwarth

Pity most of the store are closes and the neighborrow not really attractive

Chris and Stephanie Ashley

Portage Place mall is /was a decent mall with lots of nice shops similar to Winnipeg Square. Winnipeg Square has flourished while Portage Place mall has suffered closure and turnover of stores. One of the main reasons I don't go there very often is because I don't feel safe. There are gangs of people hanging out throughout the main floor entrances and outside. Openly drinking, fighting and selling drugs and stolen clothes which I've personally witnessed and reported. Security does their best but the sheer volume appears overwhelming for them. To the new owners...if you want shops to succeed and remain paying tenants you need to address all the people hanging around not shopping who are scaring away real customers.

Anne

I usually pass through the mall to get from parking to either the University or Bell MTS, and each time it feels as though the mall is straight from the 80s or 90s. The elevators always feel clunky, the stairs seem like a movie set from a cop movie, and the decor is that old combination of green and pink. The stores look absolutely fine, it's just the building itself that looks in need of a renovation to make it look a bit more modern.

Daniel Peterson

All these stores can be found in better areas. Just beware of the crazies ( people in deep meth induced psychosises ).

Jean-Marie Legrand

Not very accessible but great to be out of the rain

Benjamin Lindsay

It's Portage place, what else is there to say other then " No I do not have a extra smoke, o I do t have any spare change and true change comes from within

Mike Rempel

Unfortunately this shopping center which was partially owned by the city of Winnipeg has been sold to a private business person. So I don't know what to expect from this location in the future. It is located in the city of Winnipeg downtown district so parking is of course difficult. There are plenty of parking structures but you do end up paying a premium price to park downtown. There are plenty of stores located in this mall there is even a movie theater. At one time there was an IMAX theater but I'm not sure if that's still there.

Temple Grandin

Locating downtown of Winnipeg which is very convenient place for all traveller..the place inside is really beautiful but what i didn't like is the brands..i couldn't recognize any of them.

Keith Norek

It seems like a lot of retail spaces are vacant and have been for a while. Food court is decent.

Bryan M

Horrible place. Had to kill time before hockey game. Impaired people stumbling around all over. A disabled person beside me had a drunk walk up and take his food. They do have a couple places to get coffee or a quick meal

Val Robinson

Food is always good and love ppl watching lol

Sabrina Laroque

The businesses seem to be overpriced for the type of people around there. The staff that work there are rude and unhelpful.

Soumya Shilpi

It’s a nice shopping mall with its own food court with all kinds of foods from shawarma to Indian food. We tried iced cafe latte from Starbucks . We took a stroll all the shops inside. You can find Dollarama, Ardene, shoppers drugmart and many more . Overall a nice place .

Erik Van de Kerckhove

Nice place to shop and look for other stuff you need. Place great to meet people

Gurpreet Singh Saini

Multiple stores to shop at one place. Remember only portage avenue side doors are open for entry and exit dure to covid 19. Please plan accordingly to park.

Mckene

Still has a few good stores and isn't bad for a lunch hour Shop- but not the place to head on an evening or weekend uses you had to

Gregory Bushie

Good place for just about everything

Geometer John (John H)

Has only the bare essentials. I suppose it's good if you're downtown and need something (drugs, office supplies, a quick change of clothes) but it feels kind of janky overall. I wouldn't choose this as a place to hang out and spend a lot of time at.

Jensen Hoskie

Great people working, food deals, good people...need to be patient, considerate, & respectful and you'll be fine!

Trever

Once you start to see people smoking crack from a can, stop !!! that's probably portage place mall. Winnipeg, such a beautiful place

Darko Gorenc

DEAD..........needs revamping ...I fear it will need more than the city can give it ....and probably not a wise investment for our dear city's downtown after 5 pm is a GHOST TOWN

Me Ewen

Alot of gangs walking around ...people come up to you asking if your lookong to buy pills of all kinds otherwise has alot to offer for shopping ...

Haralabos Vlahos

I avoid this place whenever possible. There's frequent drama with the regulars, and I feel badly for the mall security.

Garry Bhullar

Went to service canada, was a line up however the guys there were very helpful, followed covid guidelines

Michael Beaulieu

Lost all it competative shops. Hope the revamp happens soon. Polo seems better for shopping needs

Hema k. Patel

It's really nice place for buy everything. I love to shop here. Every store has different offer but I can say that You will defiantly find cheapest things here. At least check one time here before buy things anywhere else.

H Gullen

A lot of stores and it is connected via skywalks to the MTS Center and a few places which makes it a good spot to walk around in either the hot summer or very cold winter.

Ade

Portage Place is not bad, but it's not good either. It's main issue is that it's not just old, it's also dated. The shops you'll find in there also seem to mostly be corner store type of shops, which makes it worse. The whole feeling of the place is not welcoming and it doesn't really encourage you to stay and spend money. Part of it is the building itself, and part of it is the type of businesses there; it's hard to articulate but you don't get the same feeling when you walk into Polo Park, for example. I would just avoid it. If you're willing to go out of your way a bit, you can get everything you want at one of the other malls in the city, and you'll get a nicer experience.

Internal Medicine Board Exam Prep

This mall just doesn't compare with others in the city. Looking more and more run down. Doesn't have the best store selection and parking is difficult unless you know what you're buying something

Ryan Nother

No reason to visit this place. It's has a shoppers drug mart and a food court. Just go to Polo Park.

Kyra Thiele

Went to use the bathrooms with my kid, and had to run over to the YMCA. All the bathrooms were filthy; toilet paper was everywhere and many of the toilets were plugged or had urine on the seats. Not a family friendly place whatsoever and a real disappointment if the hope is to bring more people downtown.

Samantha Currie

Not a pleasant place to be. Ended up getting into a fight with a crazy lady with a face tattoo about escalator ettiquette while trying to get to Shoppers to buy some baby shampoo bottles for my trip and I was in the area. It gets 1 star, because the Oriental gift store, despite the merch being a bit dated, is actually pretty nice. Other than that, I hate it and I wish I was joking about the crazy escalator lady!

Ang Gamblin

My daughter got accused of stealing because they found a wrapper on the floor that wasn’t even hers

Kaitlin Maloshicky

Food court felt dirty, 3rd floor elevator on east side had a beer can in a planter, obviously a problem considering the plant was dying.

James Hardy

Clean. Busy. Good selection of stores. Nice food court.

Matt Sletto

The dirt mall. A great place for transients to get out of the cold. Pretty decent food court and a pretty lousy compliment of stores.

Liz

Not going to lie, this place is pretty run down.. lots of weirdos around since it's right downtown. I would suggest going to Polo park about 15 mins west of here.

Joanna S

A good mall to definitely check out... if you can get past all those people begging for cigarettes or bus change. Why they don't have a security outside in the warmer weather months? The shops are great... so when you get inside the mall you've made it & are safe. They do have security patrolling the mall constantly. Check it out. I wouldn't take my car there... as there's no much parking available during the days(other businesses and individuals the work downtown usually snag those first) I suggest parking further away & just walking or hopping on a bus.

Chris Sleeva

My favorite mall. Best indoor water fountain in Winnipeg. The old clock is from City Hall. Good store sells jerseys on second floor. Art store is pretty cool. Food court is still going strong. Good wallets at Bentleys. I miss the Burger King next to the Y.

Hannah M

Most dangerous mall I've been to. Lots of shoplifters, thieves, and pickpockets, and security is pretty much useless. Stay alert and watch your things.

Rhonda Starr

Walking thru is always interesting . I go to a kiosk there that sells silver jewelery i REALLY like

Kiv “π”

Cleanliness not this place forte. Dubious individuals hanging around in and outside the mall.

Pablo Ventura

Some good places to shop for clothing or accessories that aren't available at other malls. But depending on what time of day you go you'll either have more run-ins with questionable people.

Tunde Akomolafe

Great ambience. Good staff

John Dobbin

There is a future here but not will the company that wants to buy it.

Lumi Teana

Don't go here under any circumstances and go to literally any other mall. There's nothing unique here and you'll get consistently bothered by some combination of homeless, drug dealers or drunks. Walking in here feels like a safety hazard at all hours.

Shamus Osler

Good mall if you need to stop by and grab something. Not as scary as it’s made out to be.

Linda Moore

This mall has become incredibly dirty, sketchy and unsafe. When I first moved to the city more than 20 years ago, the mall was on the more humble side, not as fancy as St. Vital or Polo Park. But it had a certain charm, it was easy to get to, with decent stores, and a movie theatre. Now there are a LOT of vacant spaces, the stores that remain are not very interesting and there is no movie theatre. The mall has deteriorated immensely and is now regularly filled with drunk people. It is always grubby looking and not well maintained. The bus stops around that mall are also incredibly unsafe after dark.

Trevor

Somewhat sparse mall. Rough neighborhood full of beggers. Not recommended. Oh and paid parking to boot. I've never seen such an unattractive mall that actively pushes away customers with paid parking. I was there for 3 hours, paid $7 in parking and found nothing to buy. But I got asked for money 3 times.

robpaprox

It's reallly kind of unfortunate that such a nice, architecturally speaking, shopping center has such a notoriously bad reputation for attracting crime and vagrancy. Store selection is rather lacking. I sometimes go there for quick purchases when I'm walking through the area. My advice: don't stick around too long. It's common to see security responding to incidents of various types there, so I wouldn't call it a family friendly place either. Again, rather unfortunate, considering it has such potential to be a very attractive downtown landmark

Damian Campbell

No where I shop with those deals

Sazag Bhattarai

One of the main shopping centre in Winnipeg. It is diverse as you can find most of the products and services. Some includes but are not limited to staples, Dollarama, restaurant, fast food chain and even Service Canada's office

Ovie Albert

Nice mall. It was quite difficult locating the food court. That wasn't good. If you ask me. It should have been more obvious.

Carlasexycd sultry, sexy party CD

No changes at all food court over crowded , lots of sketching people in the front door by Tim Horton and in the back door. Loitering, horsing around, asking for changing , dealing, molesting people, etc.

William Deaffie

Really dislike this mall. Really lacks quality retailers. Do like the piano in the center court though.

Dan Monahan

Great mall I love this place I've spent many many days hanging out there when I was a teenager throughout the summer months

Robert Schoch

BECAUSE THE ROGERS IS THERE VERY GOOD,CUSTOMER SERVICE ,VERY CONVENIENT FOR MY LOCATION, BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR!

Beth Pachkowski

I really only go there if I absolutely need to. It used to have some decent stores but now it is all bargain basement stores. Since IMAX closed a few years ago I have even less reason to go. They need to do something to rebrand it and reduce the number of people that just loiter there.

Steve “super steve” super

It's not the best mall in Winnipeg but its okay it connects to the sky walks and you can go pretty in them

Delcio Alves Castro Pereira

The shops on the second floor are great and cheap, but the food court is horrible and very poorly frequented, at the back door to the north there are fights, people with alcohol and drugs

Selena HALL

So ghetto mall. Alot of people trying to sell drugs and pills thought out the place.

Danny Estioco

Lot of shops and restaurants. The foodcourt is great big or small groups eating together.

tasew mola

That's my favorite place to get Nice Coffee!!

Jesse Blue

always love to visit while on tour - thought the security was polite and top knotch - everyone seemed happy

Craig Woodward

This mall feels like it has gone down hill since it opened in 1987. It's had minor cosmetic updates since then but thing substantial. If you want to sit down and have a conversation with a broad sample of downtown locals over coffee you won't find a better place.

Kyle Strong

The mall that everyone forgets... nice to have a food court near uni, but I would never shop here if I didnt have to.

Walter Favell

Not bad during the day Bus stops close to door entrances Staples Restaurants Clothings shops Service Canada Dollar store

l robinson

Went into "The Bay". It was like a dead zone. I selected something in men's wear. There were signs everywhere shouting 30% off everything, rack upon rack. Of course what I selected wasn't marked down. Explained away by some B.S. the clerk told me, small print blah blah blah.

Liam Reid

This place is functional, the stores have a nice variety, and you will find what you need inside. The skywalk connecting through the mall attached to the MTS center and the Bay are very convenient. However beware, the food court and the back of the mall are a magnet for sketchy people at all hours of the day.

Barbara Okemow

Great place to shop and to meet up with family and friends

Teresa Aime

What really can i say... Portage place is, well... its portage place.

Rhonda Gates

Went to Virgin Mobile to get a phone and plan , Jessica was an excellent sales rep , went over and above for me.

JAMIE SILVESTER

Not like how I used to remember it, but the mall is hanging in there , even with all the bad crowd hanging around there all the time .. the food court is all what seems popular still

Grant S

The ease of accessing almost all of downtown through all the different corridors and underground passages is fantastic. I would not go to this mall to walk around and casually shop, I would go to this mall for a particular shop.

Leigh C.

Security seems to have an issue with actual patrons, but completely fine with gangs, drug dealers and beggers loitering and hogging the few benches left in the mall. And heaven forbid you sit momentarily on the huge, marble planter ledges. There is not many stores to go to anymore. HMV, Staples, Claire's and I think that's it. The food court is the only bustling place, but I really hate the seating set up. Very crowded. When Imax and most of the other stores closed up, there really is no reason to come here unless I was in the area and need to replace my earbuds. The fountain used to be the highlight about 20 years ago, and now it's in a decrepit state. The one high spraying jet runs but none of the others. It's not even as lit up as it used to be. It's a shame. The washrooms are something to be avoided. I would rather go to The Bay or trek to City Place to go to the washroom. I caught cleaning staff sloppily using just plain water to wipe down the mirrors and sinks. The mens and women's washroom is uncomfortable too close together with not much privacy between the entrances. There is even a mirror that is aimed at the washrooms so others can see in. I am just very confused to where this so-called mall is headed. It often feels like they are trying to convert it into some sort of homeless shelter or halfway house.

Tech and Arts Games

Good for shopping in downtown but huge crowd in food court.

Dale Bouwman

If I need or want something specific at a store that I know is at Portage Place, then I will get it there cause I live close, but normally I would choose Polo Park or St. Vital for more selection and options. It's my opinion that the only area that gets the most business in this mall is the food court...and maybe Tims. Just very poor selection of stores.

Zoey Lander

Definitely a lot more drab than the last time I was here.

Karyn

Neighborhood mall, features women and men clothing, food court, drug store, Tim horton's optometrist. Small, clean, safe - has internal walkways to other malls and buildings for cold or rainy days.

Elizabeth Bárbara

The place isn't nice but the Ardene and Stitches there have better prices and stuff than in other places. And the Skywalk Chiropractic has the best chiropractor in town!

Ross Livingston

Not much to say about this place. Too many transients.some r aggressive. One transient pushed a customer at Tim Hortons then walked away. The Tim Hortons is in portage place. Very busy very crowded. So is portage place

RYAN 64 Seaton

One continuous walkway throughout downtown and great when weather is less than desirable.

Hayden C

Pretty good. Lots of drunk people who loiter though. The store selection is decent.

GeneralTimmy69 (MoonManfan69)

This is a sad mall I miss sweetz and Imax and other decent stores I always feel unsafe when I am inside the mall and outside this place needs to get better and that poor old fountain I remember it used to flash colours but now it doesn't anymore and It seems like they have actually given up on the fountain and just paint those blocks that people sit on

Jim Grouix

Not much to this mail but if you like cheap junk and phones then this is the mall for you. On the bright side their is restraunt by the stairs that sells the best fish and chips you have to go to this mall to try it you'll wanna come back again. 5 stairs for the fish and chips.

Northern BC Karen

Lots of Natives at the back door selling pills, crack, etc. Government welfare checks surely being spent wisely.

Anil Tiwari

Too much weird stuff happening around outside. I really only visit for the shoppers drug mart and the food court

devon desmond george moore

Best place to get anything you need

Christian Okwudiwa

A very well organized and strategic shopping centre

Christopher Sigurdson

An unsafe waste of space. There are no real destination stores to bring people into the mall. PTE and the skywalks are the only redeeming features.

Dan Chartrand

It's a mall with a bunch of stores I don't need to visit. For a big and tall kind of guy there's not much selection.

Jeff Wiliams (JEFFO)

Watch out fer street urchins cralling up and anything could happen after 6 pm. . .

sherisse camire

I get so much shopping done here and I always feel safe with all the security everywhere.

Jax Fest

Not the fanciest mall in Winnipeg but I go here when I want to shop on a budget. It is located downtown so be extra careful. Deals are always better. Parking is pretty epensive though, 1.5 hrs is $6 or the whole day for $8 so I would rather take the bus to go here.

reallyreally longathon

The stores are fine but the security is inconsistent and needs to deal with the drinks more also the new food court hours are... Bad like they might be going out of business

tgadmitch red

Food court always busy and sometimes people seating there whitout ordering anything so it make difficult for someone ro find a place to seat and enjoy the food that he or she bought. They need to increase security.

Blayne Robson

Ok selection of stores. The age of the shopping mall is coming to an end, but this mall keeps a high number of vendors.

Amanda Unrau

Aside from the drug dealers and unconscious and high people in front sometimes, I don't feel unsafe. There are stores in here that are useful.

Omolola Eniola

Great mall...variety of stores and pricing...with skywalk to link d city place...best for the Winnipeg cold...

isuru dharmasena

Nice shopping mall in downtown Winnipeg

Chris Smythe

Grimy and outdated. The mall really needs more security people when there are panhandlers at every entrance, and wandering around the food court. Not many of the shops here aren't available at any of the other malls in town, you can always grab the bus out front and head to a better mall.

Athletic Award

Even during this pandemic some restaurants are open and the food court is available if you want to sit down and eat your meal.

Jadon H

Portage Place. The infamous downtown danger-zone. The only thing I'd ever heard about this massive mall is "don't go." After visiting a few times, I realize those people couldn't be more wrong; Portage Place is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a place to shop or eat, I wouldn't recommend Portage Place. The stores aren't anything special, and the food court seems to be a meeting ground for some fairly freaky folk - even with all the security running around. Have an hour to kill downtown? Walking through the Skywalk? Waiting for a bus transfer? Why not pay a visit to Portage Place?

Oluwafisayo Folarin

I always find something anytime I pass through this mall. A few stores here but most close early and i wish more of the store spaces were occupied like it is at polopark

Terry Wiebe

Bento Sushi is a great choice for lunch

Mostafa kamel Benhaddia

Was all closed till 1st of July. They should update that on google maps

Adiena Woods

Mall has gone way downhill. Nothing but a hang out for gangs now. Food court is good if you work downtown and need lunch but that’s about it.

Vicki Rempel

Although there are not as many and as varied the shops and services this mall once featured, it is a great connector for downtown parking, events, meals and handicap access.

Genevieve Cook

????

Jordan Janisse

What a sad, sad place. Even more useless in the evening. Even by 7pm, the food court is closed and most stores long gone. Even Staples is closed early. One exception I found is Shoppers was still open.

Millie Aftermath

Needs faster services an more workers, great location, an needs to stop wearing masks an following Mandates that go against human rights law.

Jeremy Lennon-Gibson

I really wish that this mall had a better clientele, as it is quite nice. However, the people there do it no favors, and the atmosphere is terrible because of that

Elizabeth T

Remove the homeless spikes around planters and let exhausted people sit inside the malls ;)

olatunde shittu

It is wheelchair accessible and as a wide range of shoppers parlor. It a big a arena parking spots.

Crystal May Kelly Nabess

Shoppers sucked I felt like I was being stalked to me shopping is a private thing especially if it is a drugstore I'm sure they have their issues with shoplifters everywhere. At first I thought it was some perv I almost attacked him on a physical level. Now that would've been bad for me. Well insane scared i wasn't sure what was going on and I will not have both my privacy and safety put in jeopardy as far as I was concerned and.it was. There's got to be a better way of catching shoplifters then scaring other ones. That was the most horrible experience ever.

John Chen

This place is so sketchy. Gangs chill in the food court and people get stabbed in the front of the mall.

Just KF2things

Glorified Bus Shelter Kiosk. There is a Dollarama in there and some cool stuff.

Aishwarya Gopalakrishnan

Amazing place to shop, eat and chill. I think the sales are one of the best parts of this mall.

john- gotti314

it's a great mall but there's too much addicts that hang in the back of portage

Alex Derksen

Terrible mall. The stores suck and the food court is bland. Also can be a dangerous place to go alone. More than one of my female friends have nearly been abducted there.

Terry Halligan

Conviently located downtown but seems to have lost direction and personality. Needs to rethink store mix. Downtown revitalization is passing it by for the time being. Find it's vision and be distinctive.

Miles Reid

A shell of the mall it once was. Now they don't want anyone in there. It's sad to see. No harm letting people browse. Hopefully the new development changes things a bit thou I doubt it. It's a hallway between buildings now.

Sylvia Perkins

Went to Service Canada ???????? and the lines are phenomenal.. for our safety they have them broken down to 3 separate areas expect a 2 to 3 hour wait if u r planning to go there.. food court wasn't busy got bubble tea

Craig Artasin

comfortable atmosphere, lots of stores. Bathroom is really gross, don't go here if you can avoid it. if you sit on the planters here the security guards will get on your @%% for it even though sitting there is harmless... and there aren't any benches by the front door by Starbucks which is the most convenient place to meet up with someone. there's often someone playing the piano by the clock tower which is nice to hear above the chatter.

David Glays

It is a place for a quick bite and shopping. However I would not stay long the security guards tend to start looking at you funny or ask you to leave. If you do not buy anything they will ask you to leave.

robert martin

Easy to navigate through.

christa white

The mall seems like a baron place now. Used to be bustling with activity now it is a dead zone. It is really sad to see.

Hoang Tram

Portage Place is pretty dead outside of the office hours. There are a number of empty/unoccupied stores. Food court can be busy during lunch hours (weekdays). This mall closes earlier compared to other large malls. Parking is free underground if you spend around $ 15-20 in purchases inside the mall.

Bhavank Patel

Multiple food joints, alright if you shopping there..

Jax Jantz

The people around this area can be intimidating, there was alot of mall security however.

Chad Murdock

Lot's of store's not bad price's.not the safest place outside.

Dennis Penner

I pass through this mall a lot when using the sky walk to get around in winter. The food court options are decently varied so I've grabbed food here many times, but seating can be difficult to find when it's busy. Store selection is okay - I mostly only shop at Staples and The Source when I'm here, though. It's not as shiny a mall as you'll find in the suburbs, but it's central and easy to access by bus.

Sayon Musa

Portage place mall sucks the mall number never work ????

kat richards

Needs major improvements

Zuheil Mohamed

You will need to take a bus or walk here if you dont want to roam with your car for 30 mins looking for a parking space,

Scott Saedal

Portage place is a very functional mall, it has everything you NEED, but not everything you WANT. There is no flash no style, however it does have a decent aesthetic with the old analog clock tower. I would say are the sketchiest part of the mall are he shoppers, however all the store owners are quite pleasant.

Ryan Forty

It’s ok not like 15 20 years ago

Leo S

Always over-crowded especially in the food court. Also smells disgusting and rancid. Other than the food court though, the rest of the amenities are okay.

Mac Gerard Perez

This place is memorable for me when I came here in Winnipeg... I saw my childhood friend here in coincidence. He is buying lottery ticket and we going to service Canada that time. We didn't even have communication that time...

P.C. P

A pretty rough looking clientèle in general. That security travels in pairs is pretty telling and Dollarama has a security guard pretty much sums it up.

Erik Niells

Nice theater venues, kept clean. But the food court. When busy, it's about as fun as the DMV with the added panhandling, Jesus freaks, and people with zero sense of "personal space." Good Thai food, but ambiance-wise, a nightmare.

Tom Zychowski

Expensive parking with a limited shops and filled with security clearing out undesirables. The YMCA and the rest of downtown connected through second level indoor walkways. I love the fountains and the massive clock.

Alan Stadnyk

Portage Place has turned around a lot in the past ten years. Unfortunately the lack of vendors makes shopping there a little limited. But the stores that have remained appear to be flourishing. Aside from the transients and vagrants taking up 70% of the food court during peak hours, its not a bad place. I miss the movie theater.

Manzurul Hassan Miskat

Varieties of shopping options. Has a spacious food court and very comfortable for the powwow.

Garnet Watkins

Excellent security services. Very helpful and make it a safer more comfortable place to shop.

Dylan Lava

Good place to go if wanna get asked to buy drugs or beat up and the stores that are left aren't anything to special

Troy Goldstone

The mall has a great selection of stores offering most things you might be looking for but a grocery store would be a nice addition.

Jason Sheps

Lack of good retailers, all the movie theatres shut down, and the Shoppers Drug Mart offers lackluster merchandise at less than spectacular prices.

Andrew Jennissen

I first went to Portage Place in the mid 90s, and I've been walking through it for the better part of 2 decades. Cliff notes - it's gone downhill but was never really 'uphill' to begin with. It's fine enough during the day to grab a bite or for very particular thing, but I wouldn't recommend it to a tourist for what you'd normally consider 'shopping mall activities'. Pros: Great people watching, if that's your thing. The skywalks are convenient in escaping Winnipeg's cold while traversing downtown. Some of the food court options are unique AND delicious - the Sushi place, Shawarma and Indian options (try the veggie korma w/seasoned rice!) are personal favorites in the food court , and the fish and chips place on the second floor is delightful if you're in the mood. Some of the long term anchors (Prairie Theatre Exchange & the YMCA particularly) shine as reasons to go and Staples is the only real game in downtown for office supplies. Security is visible and helpful. True north Dental clinic is fantastic (and reasonably priced for a dental clinic). Cons: First and foremost the "patrons". I use quotes because that word normally implies people BUYING something, but during the days you'll discovered this mall is populated by a healthy mix of: - office drones stretching their legs, - U of W students going to/from class - homeless people, - bored people with nothing else to do, and - bored, homeless people with nothing else to do. Very few of whom seem to actually BE buying anything. After 5:30, the university students and office drones go away, and (except on Jets home game nights) that 'healthy mix' becomes 'pretty much just the bored, the destitute and the homeless'. Shockingly, they too seem to not buy much of anything. In the last four years alone I've personally: watched prescription drugs being peddled (in broad daylight) in the parking lot through the north entrance, have witnessed at least two separate shoplifting attempts devolve into someone screaming at the top of their lungs incessantly while they were detained and once had to assist a lady and her young child get to security to report what could only be described as a 'public indecency' incident (and to their credit, Security came RUNNING and in numbers on that one, as you'd hope). Then there's actually sitting IN the food court. I'd recommend... not. To steal a line from a stand up comic (from a decade ago - this isn't sudden) the ethos of the food court patrons can be summed up with "quick, buy a coffee before security evicts us". Its crowded almost all the time, though so if you DO chose to eat there, you will have the simultaneous joy of trying to find seating in a crowded food court (where only 30% of the patrons are actually eating). Of note regarding food and drink would be the Starbucks which, in my estimation may actually hold the world record for being the SLOWEST Starbucks worldwide. Trust me, if you need consistently mediocre coffee with a four person line up (that inexplicably takes ten minutes), this is the place for you! Aside from all that - it's a 'shopping mall' with an almost complete lack of actual shops in the mall (except the food court and cell phones carriers, for some reason). At my last count, there were 7 empty storefronts in the mall and its surrounding skywalks, with numerous former storefronts now occupied by government services or NFP/outreach programs. Most of the remaining stores seem completely devoid of patrons whenever I pass by - with the exception of Shoppers Drug Mart and the Dollar Store, who do brisk business. In summary - if you have a specific reason to go, sure. If you're in the area and need to grab a quick bite to go or a printer cartridge, absolutely. But if you're legitimately looking for a "mall" in the more traditional sense of the word, you're much better off going elsewhere - Polo Park is a 15-25 minute bus ride on the #11 west of here, and can be on the north side of Portage, across the street from the RBC.

Chris Bendeler

Needs more store variety.

Jeremy Smith

Very dingy, practically no stores left

Danielle Trottier

Lots of great stores. Loved going there but got scared of the fountain everytime.

Jeff Unrau

I only went here to go to service Canada. I hadn't been in the mall in three years. It's sketchy at best - from the gangs to the lack of open shops in the mall. Parking is bad at the best of times and construction everywhere.

Jam Lee

Its difficult to get to a shop that you want because of all the added covid security

CHRIS CRUZ

Lots of closed stores. The food court is open.

Sasha Smith

It closes earlier than other malls, so next time I'll go earlier. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by all the great quality stores, and I truly enjoyed the convenience of the parkade.

Adi Kureshi

Nice spot to shop and quick bite for food. Very reasonably priced shops found in the mall. One thing i disliked were the washrooms in the mall. Not so clean.

Meg Bollman

Was at Staples staff were helpful and welcoming. They also answered all my print questions and worked to make sure I was getting what I wanted.

Elsie May Sese セセ

I love the Manchu at the food court. The shopping mall itself requires more good vendors to attract shoppers to come but because there isn't much variety of choices shoppers go to Polo Park instead of having the business here. Also the waiting shed by the Edmonton area that the Mayor closed it's ugly!Not inviting. You might as well fix that and have some police to watch that area if you want to prevent crimes to happen. Portage Place needs a lot of improvement. But it has a potential to drive more business if well taken care of.

Elena B

This could be a great mall if it was renovated and the quality of people who hang out there could be changed. I wish Imax would work too

Kavya Kalathiya

All type od stuff is available.

Deomie

I get my medication from here and sometimes the pharmacy staff seemed burnt out and done, but I get it. It's a busy location, with a log of foot traffic. Sometimes the staff in general seem apathetic, but I also understand that this location has high customer flow and can be under staffed to take care of everyone's needs. Still recommend, but a little understanding for some of the employees behaviour is needed.

Wing

Lack of quality retailers. Just HMV, Shoppers Drug Mart, and a Staples to go to. Some hidden gems are the Sports Jersey store and the little Asian gift shop on the 2nd floor.

Emmanuel Orajekwe

It's a very chill spot. And the fountains kinda cool and all. And good selection of shops and stores

XW T Liu

Decent if you want a place to walk around. But not to many shops I would say are destination shops unfortunately.

Hannah Penner

I love watching groups of people hanging out in the food court talking and laughing and enjoying themselves, especially those who look like they may be homeless. It brings me joy to see them enjoying themselves in a warm, dry, safe place with their friends. I am upset about the fact that portage place will soon no longer exist...where will these people gather now? what a sad loss of a great community space.

Debbie McConnell

This mall has gone way down....nothing appealing

Mark Sherman

This place is so quiet, locals and visitors should support it more as it’s a nice facility

Ady F.

It basically a dead mall other than the food courts and shoppers

BARAKA MULIMBWA

Its reduced capacity due to covid-19 but its a great mall

Ricky Green

I wouldn’t shop here again. However the staples has some good staff. I always walk through here, they could have better management. Their motto should be ‘always thinking backwards.’ Security is racist and will follow you if you are not white.

Nic R.

Generally no line ups, not much major stores but lots of local owned small businesses. Skywalk to the Bay and Citi Place is convenient. Indoor parking available too.

Charles Lambert

Meh. To many beggars... and I don't mind giving change to peeps. Just too much of it. If I was small or a woman I'd be very wary... didn't feel safe. Parking is expensive and traffic sucks. Better to stay in the burbs.

Victor Arias

Convenient when working downtown. Great place for a quick coffee in the morning.

Justin B

There are better places to shop that aren't that far away. I feel safety is an issue in and around this mall.

Lisa Johannson-Maloney (Sshmalone)

There are many other great shopping options in the city of Winnipeg. I would avoid this mall and head to Polo Park instead.

Jordan Lasuik

Always kept clean, always security guards around, a convenient and safe downtown space. Not a huge selection of stores so just look at what stores there are before visiting. Pretty decent food court too.

Dmitrii Trubetskoy

There's only mall, right? So it's fine... Observed another aggressive behavior.

Sigmun Frayed

Please don't change a thing this place is just amazing!!! Great food selections awesome stores!

Avery Ferron

Extremely sketchy, not amazing store selection and we while washing our hands in the bathroom we were rudely asked “why are you shopping in portage place go somewhere you belong” DO NOT RECOMMEND

James Lucas Stuart

Now that police and security have cleared out the drug sellers behind the mall Portage Place is much more appealing. The food court still seems to be a loitering hang out for people on low income. Perhaps 30 minute time limits could be applied since it is a fast food place to eat. Tim Hortons should be located in a bigger location seperate from the food court area. Perhaps where HMV just closed.

Wally Knauf

Inside is more relaxed its outside that is crazy. Anyways good sales when they happen.

Autumn K

In The Ghetto On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' Another little baby child is born In the ghetto (In the ghetto) And his mama cries cause if there's one thing that she don't need it's another little hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto (in the ghettoo)

Karlie Higgins

There are NO safe GF options for celiacs here, and although the Dollarama was clean the staff ignored repeated pages by their (brand new, first day) front cashier who was desperate for help with a lineup of almost 20 people.

Melanie “Melina” Hobson

Took my daughter shopping @ Ardene's. Staff was friendly.

Johnny Rockstar

Honestly the stores there a decent but security and Portage places supposed rules change weekly as my service dog and me have been allowed in Portage place for a long time and then randomly they're just like I don't know sorry you're not allowed in here, you need a City service tag number honestly I don't need a city service tag number I don't have nine I don't have $9,000 to train him do you

Cory Nostedt

Much better environment than it used to be. Great shops. Decent food court.

Crystal Hill

There are hardly any stores and a lot of security guards. I don't feel safe at this mall. The mall also seems run down and definitely needs a renovation. St Vital and Polo Park are better malls. A&W and Tim Hortons are clean and have friendly service. Don't waste your time coming to this mall, plus you have to pay for parking.

chris henderson

It's ok for some last minute shopping

Nathaniel Dolynchuk

Bathrooms are possibly, incurably, grotesque. Decent selection in the food court. Other shops are kinda meh.

Milton Meeches

Needs to follow human rights law an not follow unjustified Mandates, needs more workers.

Mizanur Rahman

In terms of location its right in the heart of downtown Winnipeg. Lots to do around here. Major brands have outlets here.

Adam Foidart

Smaller mall with a lot of clothing stores and a decent food court. I recommend the fried chicken place.

ehvrich kim

Let's just say it used to be a nice place...not anymore, with all these people

Tracy Kawakami

Dirty inside and out, drug dealers crowding the back entrance, bus shack is gross. I only like the fountain for my kids

Jennifer Adams

They need more stores and there are alot of bumby people there but thwy have the main stores but no bra stores :/..

Ben Tuckett

I Went There Once, and There's Huge Amount of Food, Tech & Fashion. Although Other Shopping Locations are Suitable; Portage Place is Full of Foreigner's Who Have (to my Surprise) 100% Awesome Knowledge of Technology. I Love People With Huge Knowledge of Phones, Technology, so Forth!

Ayush Gautam

Only thing that is good here is the Canada Service Center. Other than that dont even bother.

Larry Stevenson

Staples was a bummer, would not price match Best Buy on Philips Hue smart bulb. Ended up going to The Source and bought something else. Now at home just seen amazon.ca has the Best Buy price with free delivery and add-on smart plug.

2003x Rip

Great location. And some useful stores but i find it very uneasy and unsettling.

Sebastian Kluth

Portage Place Shopping Centre is a calm shopping mall with gorgeous architecture. It isn't the greatest place to shop in Winnipeg but probably the most beautiful one.

Dar C

Place is just a disgusting area filled with undesirables not worth going there for shopping or eating with out getting harrased by the undesirables to spare some change.... or getting asked if you want to buy some kind of drugs pot or pills ect...they should just turn portage place Into a parking lot or a shelter for the homeless.

Focus Onfootball

Not safely place, lots of gangs although it still has lots of security. But the food is delicious!

Val

Downtown shopping centre with an array of potential.

Somina Henry-Wariso

Good variety of stores although I'm not sure anything happens on the topmost floor

Houman Golmohammad

Feeling unsafe all the time!

Nathan Wright

Although opposite Bell MTS place, this shopping centre could be on another planet. It always feels run down and somewhat decrepit. The easiest way to describe it is SAD.

Brian Krane

Winnipeg worst mall, avoid if possible. Choose any other mall

Mike Magic

Good for quick services. The fellas inside are the worse, avoid if possible.

jason diamond

This place should be shut down what a dump. I would make it an indoor entertainment center with a dog park swimming pool miniature golf movie theaters put two towers up top for living and be done with the scumbags that hang out in there!

DaBrown King

Still the same old Portage place lol

Adam Orbanski

In the heart of downtown and connects to city place and mts place and Winnipeg square from here through the skywalks

Arjuna Rao

Just ok ok. It has useful stores. But the place is awful to spend time or eat.

Keith Bloodworth

There are places within which are useful,needed - Staples, Drugstore, Canada Services. It is true a lot of people meet each other at the food court. It is food court food though.

Punjabi Gamer

Nice shopping centre but does not have enough shops here. It has a good eating section though.

Yordanos Haile

Not safe, The only reason why am giving 2 stars is for shoppers and the food court.

Danna Ramma

not the best shopping mall in WPG or the best crowd. better off taking the trip down Portage to Polo Park .

Bridget Perron (CyberFox)

Love Portage Place. Beautiful building. Great stores and food.

John Bagnas

The crowd here can at times be a bit rough around the edges, but the food court is in my opinion the best one downtown with a very good selection of cuisine. The mall has everything you need in terms of daily essentials.

wayne carr

Not as many shops now. Dirty. Riff raff everywhere. Family doesn't feel safe half the time.

James Stewart

This is a dated and run down mall, I'm not sure how it stays open as it looks as If most of the customers are just passing through. Many empty stores show that business is not good there us also a high number of security people patrolling which gives the impression that there is a real danger of criminal activity.

Jon Owen

Nice mall to walk through on your way to other places. Has a good amount of services and stores for downtown, but you're not going to get as good customer service as many other malls in the city. Also, they have a really bad history with kicking people out undeservedly.

NJ Daniels

Strange hours. The security take their jobs too seriously, yes this is a bad area, no that does not make you a police officer. Being followed through the entire mall while shopping is just one of the things that makes being here an unpleasant experience. "No sitting on the planters" apart from the unwelcome environment, they have regular deals in the stores, the food court is alright and out front is a good place to catch a bus to a proper mall or literally anywhere else ????

jonathan jaime

Nice place but in some sense is kind depressing place

Michael _ C Krasny_

Um not enough ambience I feel like I'm in some abandoned subway tunnel fending off zombies or mutants or whatever. Food court has good food albeit a little crowded

Pollyanne Ashley

Portage place has many wonderful places to ship. From gift giving, to personal shopping. You can find just about everything you may be looking for all in one big shopping centre. There are even fountains in the mall that rise from to first floor to the second floor very often. A great place to amuse children who are tired of adult shopping. They also have a service centre for Service Canada within the mall. There are also many businesses upstairs from the mall. Its a great place for business and pleasure all in one giant place. No going outside getting wet or cold. Its all in one.

R B

Dying mall. Horrible hours. Hopefully projected development revitalizes the area. Do Not venture out the north doors towards Ellice.

fuzzy buzzy

Good shopping location at the heart of downtown all under cover plenty of food choices as well.

Patrick Andrushko

Scary to be anywhere near here, constantly feel like I'm gonna get stabbed

victor pelly

Love it so much there

Zennen Leggett

Theres hardly a store youll be interested in . Every fourth or fifth patron is a homeless person. Theres a lot of security (i understand why). Its not uncommon to see a drunk person fall over or do something weird. If you know what store youre looking for, and this mall has it, go in and get out. Its not the mall to go for a stretch and try to catch up on the latest trends

Kelly Parenteau

Ardanes was the most racist place I've been I seen a cashier break off to a lady and her 2 kids , was very disappointing and embarrassed for the lady , the cashiers lacked customer service skills

Steven Frederick Baljkas

I was able to find everything I needed (and do some pricing) at the Staples, recharge my bus pass; get info on cell phone case options and costs from the mall kiosk, The Source and the Telus store; and pickup a few needed items at the mall Dollarama. Despite a huge line-up at the latter, all done in less than 2 hours.

Hillary Rosentreter

The selection of stores is kind of poor, but the parking is alright. Wish IMAX were still there.

JEREMY MISSYABIT

Worst rascit mall ever today me my friend got threatened by a security guard just cause we were drinking ice caps from Tim’s Hortins and that wasn’t our fault we didn’t see no sign saying no drinking/eating the security guard said to us if I see you guys drinking again I am grabbing both of you guys and tossing out on the street. Don’t ever go to this mall especially if you indigenous and black.

Stefsterz D

Despite its bad hype... I love to come get some quick shopping done here. Its convenient, they have great stores inside, all bus access at almost every entrance if not all of them, between food court staff, security staff, and all the department stores employees they have been really nice, helpful and friendly. I think all these people deserve a lot of credit!!

Darrel Lagimodiere

Dirty and full of drug addicts, upside is there isn't any line ups since most of the other patrons are not shopping. A lot of panhandlers. Good parking.

Steve Lamotte

Gang hangout, great place to get yourself killed. Looks pretty at Christmas though, and that spell binding fountain always entertains! UPDATE: I lowered the rating to one star because the escalators are on their third week of maintenance (just fixed!), plus a guy collapsed in front of Shoppers at lunch today and wet himself. And these are not rare occurrences in this mall! Taco Tuesdays still rule though.

jay Beauchamp

Great place lots of different stores just the security guards like to Mean Mug you if your younger

iam allalone

new setup makes no sense thanks to covid restrictions, hopefully stores open back up soon

wicked clown

The mall was as good as always. The Renta-cops where all over making their presence known, ooouuh, rent-cop rent-cop, whatcha goin to do, whatcha goin to do when you realize your useless...?!?!??

Rachelle Stylinson

Too much people asking if you want to buy drugs/pills. Always see someone getting kicked out by security. And every time I've been there I've always witnessed at least 1 fight. Way too many people selling drugs in the back. This is the worst mall in Winnipeg.

Colleen Comet

There needs to be some hella energy learning in this place, like mad amounts of sage smudging and serious shaman work to clear this places vibes. And that's not to talk about the people, this building is on something that won't let it succeed and it's winning

Odette Maury

Be aware that yesterday my smartphone was stolen and taken to this place. This is the last tracking report I have. Somebody tried to use my credit card at Shoppersdrugmart located in Portage Place

Leigh C.

Security seems to have an issue with actual patrons, but completely fine with gangs, drug dealers and beggers loitering and hogging the few benches left in the mall. And heaven forbid you sit momentarily on the huge, marble planter ledges. There is not many stores to go to anymore. HMV, Staples, Claire's and I think that's it. The food court is the only bustling place, but I really hate the seating set up. Very crowded. When Imax and most of the other stores closed up, there really is no reason to come here unless I was in the area and need to replace my earbuds. The fountain used to be the highlight about 20 years ago, and now it's in a decrepit state. The one high spraying jet runs but none of the others. It's not even as lit up as it used to be. It's a shame. The washrooms are something to be avoided. I would rather go to The Bay or trek to City Place to go to the washroom. I caught cleaning staff sloppily using just plain water to wipe down the mirrors and sinks. The mens and women's washroom is uncomfortable too close together with not much privacy between the entrances. There is even a mirror that is aimed at the washrooms so others can see in. I am just very confused to where this so-called mall is headed. It often feels like they are trying to convert it into some sort of homeless shelter or halfway house.

Jerome Basa

Busy mall but not a lot of shops.

Jibril Hussein

Went there with friends after class and witnessed a three person brawl in the middle of the afternoon... not a great atmosphere if you have kids

Claire Davis

The mall is nice but often run into homeless people. There is a bus stop right front of the mall. Their parking is horrible. Lack of space. Stores in there are good, reasonable price.

Tanya G Wilkins

Sketchy. It looks like half of the shop spaces are vacant. Dingy. You don't want to be caught eating at this food court. For basic needs, it at least has a Shoppers Drugmart and Dollarama.

Vidura Senaratne

Ok place for quick shopping. Wash rooms are gross. Atmosphere sucks...

Yasashiichan

This place would be much better and safer if it didn't have the filthy people from downtown

Tom “Bloke” Bennett

Excellent selection of barbiturates and opiates all in a friendly open community setting

Dmitry Zvonov

Good mall (2 floors with lots of stores) which is located downtown. A lot of people at the food court (always busy) and a lot of security guards. No parking space for vehicles, but has a bus stop near.

Rob Caine

Small mall, little selection many of the people in the food court are homeless and loitering. The staff does what it can with it's location and the poverty issues in downtown winnipeg.

M R

Good mall, good food court, has a great YMCA in there. lots of unique shops you wouldn't find anywhere else. l have to deduct a couple stars because as everyone in winnipeg knows, it's the winnipeg mall you would be most likely to get jacked or assaulted in. Wouldn't surprise anyone. Nuff' said. criminal activity in that place, is pretty big, as is the amount of drug dealers and common criminals. despite all the efforts of police, security and downtown BIZ. Sorry just being honest.

Rychus 1

It's an old building, but doesn't look bad for its age, and the shops inside aren't the greatest, but they sustained the look

Jordan Smith

Pretty pathetic mall for being at the centre of downtown Winnipeg. Need more attractive retail spots going in rather than spots that's are just going to cover the rent..

Allen Little

Great stores inside nice food court if there isn't drama but the drug scene that's going on behind the mall is not nice

Shayla Hamilton

Shopping is good there, but a lot of drug dealers and beer drinkers, wouldn't suggest taking kids there

Dwayne Hidson

This Mall needs a total renovation! The food court looks like a welfare office! The 3rd level has nothing! Looks like a dead mall! The fountain area with it's industrial looking yellow painted metal boxes looks terrible! The area on the west upper side where Cherry Creek is looks like the 80's decor!

Emryssa Innes

The mall is pretty dirty and the security isn't great as a woman I wouldn't exactly be comfortable going here alone.

Mckinley Morton

Not a great mall and because it is downtown there are some gang activities happening there as well as general crime. Generic stores...not much to write home about

Sylvia Davis

Generally somewhat crowded and I can never figure out why. Shopping selection is mediocre, entertainment is snooze worthy, and the food is just alright. Go here if you need something here, not to browse.

Canaan Lowe

Lots of shops to choose from! I love checking out late movies in this mall for some reason. it's nice to be in the mall when there is hardly anyone else around!

Trevor Kramer

The mall does have some decent stores (HMV, Sunrise) but if you are wanting to do some shopping you will be much better off if you go somewhere else

Pamela Wain

Portage Place is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Good security and a much more friendly place to shop ????

Sergey Pochikovskiy

I don't like the public there. It's better to find other place if you want to do some shopping

scott peebles

It's a perfect place for shopping. Its not to big, and there is a good diversity of shops, and places to eat.

RYAN LUND2D2

You feel like you're being watched by security everywhere you go and it's very busy food court with mostly people just hanging out for coffee

Percy Hudson

A little sketchy, sad eb games is no longer around either.. security seems racist to only follow colored people around

Fred Liu

It's a relatively small shopping mall. Busy mall. They have almost everything you need.

Steven Closson

It is in a very convenient location right in the heart of downtown with many bus routes stopping in the front of the mall.

TREY.DAWWG ENTERTAINMENT 2Ø4

Pretty good mall needs to be modernized but other than that it's a pretty nice mall

audra king

Love the convenience of this place with all the different places to go in one huge area, from eateries to a library and casino to medical facility. There are so many things here.

Patrick Bueno

Not a 5 star mall but I'll always have a soft spot for Portage Place; so many memories here, growing up. IMAX, Oriental Gifts (skywalk), YMCA, HMV, Foot Locker, Burger King, Grand and Toy, Uptown Sports (skywalk), the piano at centre court, Baskin Robbins, Staples, the food court, the bus shack, i could go on but I can't leave out the iconic water fountain (a kid favourite, as a kid myself but also showing it to my own kid and seeing the look on [it's] face)! And who can forget the epic walk from Hudson's Bay through the mall and skywalk to Eaton's and beyond....

ADA EVENT

4 stars due to paid parking. However everything else is great lots of stores full service food court. Mall is clean and had on site security

Jason Ward

The shops are weird and awful, the atmosphere is intimidating, very dirty, I think there's a video somewhere of a guy taking a dump in a planter. I would avoid if possible

John McCollum

Fairly run of the mill mall in the heart of the city. Has a nice food court with options, including a Tim Hortons. Good place to grab food before or after Jets games. Be aware that the homeless spend a lot of time here in large numbers, so be ready for uncomfortable encounters, if that bothers you.

Tyson Geisler

This place wasn't bad at all. Seeing the fountain brings waves of nostalgia and I like that sports store that sells jerseys.

Wapoose

Although the area around the mall can be dirty, and the mall is pretty empty of shops nowadays, I still have alot of nostalgia for this place. And it is worth stopping by to check out at least once. If nothing else, it connects to a skywalk that can give you a pretty nice view of downtown Winnipeg.

Jarrod Doern

best mall to go to in winnipeg if you enjoy the thrill of knowing you might get stabbed while shopping for a new pair of jordans.

Ryan ONeil

due to covid lots of stores are closed but still there are decent shops around. Theres a few cell phone repair shops most especially on the second floor, you can negotiate for a better price

Hector Colombo

It was very surprising to buy cheap. There are many stores and fast food to spend a nice day of shopping

Jay Kunkle

Totally not the mall I remember. Went with my daughter for breakfast, well tried. The moment we entered I was shocked wanted to sit down the food court was closed, can't sit by the planters signs all over the place saying don't sit here.security very rude & aggressive. Ended up eating out front of the place. Very unimpressed will not be going back.

Chaingun Charlie

Central location is very convenient when I have to transfer downtown. It's a little more chill than the other malls and in the winter it has definitely helped me keep warm in the mornings. I walk to school everyday and it's on the way so walking through the mall during the winter gives me a nice break from the cold. Also cheap clothes at stitches ain't bad.

Waluigis Legs

I try to avoid going here at all costs, with the meth crisis in winnipeg its really dangerous, especially as woman. I never go here alone.

Buckman Bukowski

Great convenient location, a little bit of everything. I enjoy walking through the sky walk, enjoying our great multicultural city during fall and winter with a hot cup of coffee

YoGaBaGaBa

One of the good mall where you can find on sale products, if you don't care the ambiance and crowd, if you know what I mean

Roxann Koop

Not worth the trip. Very little open on Sunday. Shoppers and some of the food court.

Raymond Morgan

I would give higher rating if it weren't for all the sketchy looking people there all the time.

Jane Frost

This mall is a good place to go if you are on a budget. A lot of sale items from other malls in the city end up at portage place (Suzy and Stitches). It is sketchy, its downtown Winnipeg...what do you expect? If I cant find anything at Polo Park I can go to Portage Place and I know I will find something.

Dwayne Brennan

It's close and convenient for the people that live In the hustle n bussle of down town Winnipeg! It has 3 floors of a good variety of stores to shop at!

Gerrit Theule

A little trough around the edges and in need of some tlc, Portage Place was a great idea that never really hit its stride. There aren’t very many stores left, though it’s working reasonably well as an office and social service hub. Fully committing to a new direction may save it, but I’m not sure that I’d recommend heading down to shop.

Jennifer Aquino

Nice ????

Maria Meadows

Was clean and quiet but is sad to see a beautiful place almost gone.

Marina Smith

Years ago I worked in the food court,it was sketchy even back then...bums hanging out all day drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. This mall has gone severely downhill since then and I never go there. Yep this place is dying and on it's way out and I say good riddance! Avoid this place like the plague.

Dean Kamminga

Having to pay for parking is definitely a downside of this mall. Went to Service Canada. While there I noticed some people came in with masks and gloves. They were not required to use hand sanitizer because they wore gloves. Who knows how many germs they picked up with their gloves and put on surfaces inside Service Canada

Kevin McCormick

Do not like this place, it's full of unsavory people and I get nervous walking through there. Only reason I go through there is I park there for Bell MTS Place events. This might change.

Stockney

If my dentist weren't here, its unlikely I would ever be back. Expensive parking

Fabian Twoheart

Its always nice to have all my shopping done at one mall, and that's accommodating to my schedule.

E B

Stores, hidden jems like the Asian shop, always pop by starbucks, wifi through out, clean bathrooms, worth a look, not the most convenient for me but a lot of people seem to like hanging out there. Please like my reviews, I have nothing else in my life!

Sherine Barrett

Love buying food n shop at the dollarama

Marie S

Was approached 3 different times by 3 different individuals asking if I was looking or selling “stuff” AKA drugs. And this was on the same visit!! I like to think I carry myself well and don’t give off drug dealer/user vibes. But mind you, this IS Downtown Winnipeg we’re talking about. I guess simply being around there is enough to make people assume you’re into drugs. There are always security guards dealing with some incident at this mall. Lots of shady characters all over the place. Food court is very dirty and the store selection sucks. Avoid if you can. Make your way to Polo Park or St Vital mall instead. Both are way safer and you’ll actually have a decent shopping experience.

Sam McGillivary

It was a long day at portage place and fulfillment was a factor in our lives in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. ⚡????⚡ Ekosi, Every Child Matters Most.????

Riki Tiki

Unsafe environment. Used to be a good area many years ago. But today it's very negative place. Questionable characters.

James Neville

Went to see a play at the Prairie Theater Exchange. Superbly acted theatre experience.

Connor M.

Not a lot of variety, and anywhere you would want to shop in or get a contract with a carrier at probably has another location either a short walk away in Cityplace and Winnipeg Square or a 10-minute drive to Polo Park (add a couple extra minutes down St. James for Staples). I can't say that I've personally encountered beggars myself, but I don't doubt that they're a problem. It kind of resembles some of America's struggling and nearly dead malls, and really makes you question whether or not the owners give a damn, but I think the fact they haven't even bothered to claim their Google Maps listing speaks volumes in regards to that.

Im Home (FaFa)

Im going to miss this place.when it's gone .

I personally hate downtown but this mall doesn't have very many shopping options. There is a handful of clothing stores but usually for smaller sized girls/women. There is a fairly large food court but it's always packed and the area and mall usually smell funky. Bathrooms are not usually clean. It's goid if you are in the area and I need a quick Dollerama stop or a Tim's. There is also a shoppers. The nail salon on the 3rd floor sucks.

Edgardo Intales

No free parking here avoid th8s place if not important thing you need city parking killing busness

jeremy K

Portage place is certainly feeling alot safer with the added police and security present. Seeing more and more empty stores but hopefully that changes soon. The mall appears well maintained.

Elizabeth Stacey

I find it every time I go to the washrooms they are discussing and the whole eating area is also discussing I worked as a cleaner people can do a better job.

Akash Singh

The mall is well lit and looks beautiful, especially when it's decorated. The only reason I don't shop.there often is because it does not have a great variety of shops or even a great food court

barna toth

Went for bento box at the food court was delish as usual

Ramandeep Kaur

Best mall I've ever seen with all things available under one roof .

Timothy Cua

The place is great. It's just the other malls but the advantage of this mall is that it's connected to other main buildings in the vacinity through skywalks. Meaning you don't have to go outside to get to other place when it's freezing cold outside.

Marilyn Robertson

Clean quiet early am 900

Mehmood Awan

It's a smaller mall as compared to the newer ones in the city. I don't like it's food court as it does not have a lot of variety and limited sitting space.

Kiandra North

Good shopping but the employees at iMark connect need to stay at their desks instead of video taping little girls trying to pick up a quarter that's glued to the floor. We have video proof as well. And we did get the quarter.

Karen S

There is no free parking. Either street parking with the meter or in the parade. It's a good place to walk when it's cold outside as Portage Place is all connected to the library, MTS center, Convention Center, City Place and some other buildings.

Hanifah Hussain

Not a great mall to go to, too crowded with people just walking thru to get to sky walks...shops are pretty boring. Was pleasantly surprised though by seeing two halal options in the food court for Shawarma.

Jade

I would never reccomend this mall. There are no great stores & just walking through it makes you uncomfortable.

Moradeyo Laseinde

Great place but no parking available.

Barb Okemow

Nice place to go to for shopping and good take out for chicken and fries

Rukmane Alimehaj

If the employees specifically the manager of the securities does not fallow the *rules* such as walking and sitting in the food court without a mask and at a table for 30+ minuts with his sister to be very clear but then feels the need to send the security to someone's table to tell them they have excited the 30minut limit sitting at the table.... How does that work. Someone explain plz?

Barbara Okemow

Great place to shop and to meet up with family and friends

Paula Toussaint

Portage Place is a great Mall to Shop , visit nd relaxed. Its Central nd close to most Business Places.

Deanna Lynn

Horrible employees in every store never once had nice customer service. Worst mall to go to In Canada

Maxine Utsunomiya

Security is on top of everything. Very observant of situations and taking care of everyone.

Mario Calixterio

In the food court, there are more people simply hanging around than those who bought their food.

Patricia C

For parking, the pay station only takes credit cards. There are no pay stations on P2. Some pay stations are around the corner and visible right away.

Nick Hale

Great location and very accessible, but the problem lies in the groups that hang out at the enntrance and exits. Not a very nice crowd so to say

Chance Henderson

Second line chains and outdated products. If your looking for anything new, modern, of hip this is not the place to go.

Kelly Hall

Run down, not too many good stores and lots of loitering by the wrong crowd. It is best to visit during banking hours where it is busy with downtown workers.

Mark Petrasanta

Greasy, dirty, somewhat dangerous. A few adjectives to describe this place. The only mall in WPG where security wears kevalr gloves AND vest. I see deplorables get expelled on the regular. Good place to get out of the cold.

Amanda Senio

Terrrible mall mostly used as a hub for transit and the skywalks in the city, outdated interior the security guards are useless and d*ckheads like why can’t you sit on the planters there’s barely any benches around food always stinks and people just sit there all day when they don’t even order food and take up sitting space always drunk Bums at the entrance bumming for change and security don’t even do anything about it and not great store selection, so if you’re looking for a place to shop don’t come here go to polo park it’s obviously better in my experience

Erns Wall

Unfortunately not a very good selection of shops. I'm hoping as more housing options become available downtown it will help this mall secure more/better tenants. The food court is surprisingly solid with several good, typical mall food options.

John

Unsafe. Unkept. Lots of loiterers. Drug deals rampant. Drunk and intoxicated. Tons of homeless people walking about. Tons of beggers and "bums" asking for change and cigarettes. Businesses never last. This use to the a beautiful mall back in the early to mid 90s, it's just a remnant of that iconic era. I wish they would demo it, it's not safe and not enjoyable walking around the mall. It's basically manitoba housing and a homeless shelter. Absolutelyy no good retailers left anymore, all discount shops you'd see in a low income neighborhood. Absolutely no reason to come downtown for shopping anymore.

Titilayo Folahan

Affordable price of items. Good food. No parking space for vehicle but has a bus stop for easy access to mobility.

Stephen Strike

One of the oldest malls in Winnipeg but still one of the most up to date in terms of look and shops. Great place to shop at.

Joven Joven

Not too many shops.very few good shops, Suzy , ardene, footlocker, shoppers drug and staples are the only stores I love in this place. They have Starbucks here, but not the usual coffee shop with chairs and tables.

Fisayo Gbadero

A good place to connect to business offices in downtown. However, I wasn't happy on my last visit because many businesses have closed down due to Covid and financial status of those business owners. Let's pray that God should intervene and bring things back to normal.

Geoff Miki

Sad looking "shopping mall". Not many relevant stores, but the skywalks are convenient for cold Winnipeg winter nights. Only visit for live theatre (PTE) or on the way to Bell MTS Place.

Frank Yellowquill

Awesome service always awesome customer service always people are always willing to help you out great place to shop and meet up with ur friend s anytime Timmy s has great customer service always

Kelly Epp

Felt comfortable in portage place. Lots of security around.

Samantha S

I love how there is always good deals whenever you go to this mall & also the food court always smells amazing, I love how there is a dollarama on the second floor. I can do all my shopping at this mall & will always feel safe.

Fabian Twohearts Twohearts

My time was very well, i had lunch listened to music and enjoyed the tranquility as i finished my soda, yes i really liked my time at portage place today and will return again????

Aaron O

So much of the mall is vacant now, too bad they forced out the old independent dollar store to replace it with Dollarama when there is another Dollarama 2 blocks away.

Nuri Sinuff

Portage place is no longer interesting place!!! So many stores are closed.

kathy Shrimpton

Easy to access food court was clean courteous staff

Felix Francois Erasmus

Very few customers, but apparently lots of drug dealers. Probably a great place to buy meth. Security seems oblivious or is intentionally ignoring it. Probably the worst spot in the city, not a great first impression if you just got to winnipeg. Unless your plan was to meet random people and be sold drugs, in which case there's really nothing like it anywhere in Canada. 2 stars only because it at least has lots of shops so you can probably buy most things and it's got a nice central location.

Mitchell Davis

Good decent mall besides the poor and addicts hang around

Arim Tota

It is an excellent mall. Lots of little stores. Be careful with the food court though

Simon Hall

Nice little mall. Has the basics, clean and not busy at all on the weekend.

Gail Johnson

Would be nice if for us seniors there was a place to rest.

V newman

Well insane scared i wasn't sure what was going on and I will not have both my privacy and safety put in jeopardy as far as I was concerned and.it was. There's got to be a better way of catching shoplifters then scaring other ones. That was the most horrible experience ever.

steve jones

I walk into work everyday. Why cant this be part of the skywalk system. Indoor safe warm transit from Vaughn to Carlton.

Morgan Bernier

It's got a few nice things and nice stores. But the atmosphere is kind of sketchy.

Travis Edwards

The worst mall in the city.... very dirty, out of date, and terrible shopping options... theres 3 shops that sell poorly designed "hood clothing"/fake designer.

David Palz

You can always get great deals on used cell phones and weapons at the bus stop outside, plus there’s a dollarama and a giant stitches.

Allan Oakes

Clean mall, cozy, could use some more diverse stores . Most places are very niche, so unless you are going to a particular place not a mall to walk around and spend a day shopping in.

Henry Martel

I like to visit this place almost every time I'm in the city!

Brandie Yeo

Nope never again. It had a shoppers...i bought a drink. Take it off the map. More security than patrons.

James Van Santen

Great place to come and shop... it would be better if the people shopping were a little nicer and a little more patient in their endeavors

Dorothy Boles

City jewelry is moving to polo park. September 1 sad for downtown

Payam Nabipay

Old, ugly, hardly any good stores. Tourists please do not judge Winnipeg by this disgusting mall

Cindy Cao

Always crowded in the food court, overall good, Manitoba health and service Canada close by, insurance and pharmacy as well

John D

Stores are of poor quality (besides the staples) and half of them are closed. Now that the imax and globe theatre are closed the only reason to visit is PTE and the Fringe Festival

Matt Evans

Good selection of stores, more good places to eat than some of the other malls. If you know how to deal with some of the unsavoury people that can gather there you'll have a good time.

Alana Delisle

Hmm. I give two stars because it still offers products and there is nothing else in the are; It’s still a mall. It is gross, scary. The hours are extremely limited.

dr9106

This place is centrally connected a very popular venues including the Bell MTS place and the Bay. It’s a decent place to shop for essentials. It’s clean and easy to find stuff.

Emm Lee

Good and up to date on covid regulation and redirection through out the mall. Clean and secure.

Janice Kim

Easily the worst mall I have ever been to. In dire need of renovation, actually witnessed a drug transaction taking place in the food court at 11am on a Tuesday. Carry pepper spray !

Jonathon Barrios

A lot of Shifty characters hang around this location. If you can put on a tough face and not get approached by anyone this place is not bad.

Brian Hooker

Great place to go,lots of stores open. Food court recently reopened.

Alyssa Hetzel

Bar far the sketchiest mall in this city... I just went for a clearance store I wanted to check out but felt seriously uncomfortable moving through the mall. It's sad that this is our only huge downtown shopping mall and it's full of drug addicts and bums... I avoid this mall at all costs unfortunately.

Russella Cachene

Too much young solicitors in the area, but overall it's an alright mall.

Franklin Camus

I don't going to Portage Place for coffee or having lunch, but you get the panhandlers coming in & bugging people for money

Fitness Girl

Portage Place Mall Is ok. Personally it's not a mall I would do a lot of shopping at or want to spend slit of time at. The washrooms are really dirty I try not to use if possible.

Pollyanne ASHLEY

It is really nice to have so many places that you can shop with out going over the city to get what you want or need. Just be warned. There are usually a lot of people like being there. So it's always crowded.

Kunle femi

Not the biggest mall but wide range of stores

Gerry Richardson

Half the stores are empty. Panhandlers around every corner.

Summer Gough

They opened up the malls again, and they made sure to block off some of the entrie ways. That will help alot because of the pandemic.

Darscie Metayer

Was very busy there today. The only bad thing I have to say is that there should be more benches throughout the mall for people to sit down.

Malcolm Collins

Not bad

Shirley Gwendo

Very limited selection of stores. It has vastly improved though but it could be better.

Victor Gamboa

I wish there’s a better way to describe this location. Depending on the time , one takes a calculated risk just being there. Panhandlers ( some of them drank) liketo congregate near parking meters and harassed people. It’s the last place I want to visit if I can help it. It’s too bad because MEC is one place I would like to visit.

Jay Frellick

Had Joey's fish and chips. Fish full of bones

shane neustaeter

While still one of my favorite malls in Winnipeg, due mainly to a couple of stores and personal nostalgia, i feel it has gone down hill drastically after the closing of the IMAX and the Theater. It needs an event venue of some kind installed on the 3rd floor to come back into its own.

Simone

Not the best mall but it is convenient. Located in the downtown area, so very central. But you might meet all kinds here, so be careful. There is a ok selection of stores, but I don't think the choices are as refine as you would fine at other locations.

Clinton John James

Close to a number of Winnipeg attractions. Close to a number of good restaurants and hotels as well. Offers a wide variety of stores. Has a very good selection in its food court.

Les Dan

This Jewel with the clock tower was the brainchild of his. Izzy Koop. Beautiful execution Clocktower Centre Hall but the people in there well I don't think I'd go there after Dark and the the food court is Gang Central. If I were a business I think twice about relocating there. Unless you were selling cheap baub les or equally tawdry merch. I'm in the elevator down to the parkade is dangerous!

mark valdez

This is one of the worst malls to go to, if you consider it a mall. It was a nice busy place back in the day. Now it's just a place I try to avoid. So many people in and out begging change or a smoke. There used to be a few drunks in the back entrance yelling g at people minding their own. I think the food court is owned by one guy.

Darryl Spence

Lots of people bug you for smokes or try sell you drugs. They shouldve made this mall one of the best seeing that is downtown. Something like West Edmonton Mall. Now it's a regular boring mall.

Steven Papadimitriou

Good place to go and relax downtown. The food court is ok and the stores sell a wide variety of quality items

Portalizer X

It's almost better than having no mall close by. Food court is okay if you're starving. But for shopping the mall itself lacks options and lacks excitement.

Ben Raber

Then I decided to try an experiment and put all of my hard work to the test. The next morning I got up and walked straight to my computer.. In less than three weeks you can be looking at things differently, more creatively, if you displayed are all for right-handers? I ll show

Brant Field

A cest pool that should be razed. It's only purpose is for street scum to hang out and sell drugs and to rob people waiting for the bus or eating in the food court. DO NOT go there after ordinary office hours or on a night where there is not an event at MTS centre. The only plus is the ample underground parking for JETS games.

Brian McDonald

All doors on the building except one were locked. The signage on the doors were unclear which door was open and I did a full lap around the building to get in.

Dhell Lopez

Sketchy lots of bystanders be careful when your here watch out and be cautious

Gerry Beer

Not too many stores here that peak my interests (31 year old), except a Service Canada service centre, Dollarama and Staples. Lots of peddlers, gangsters, druggies and drunks loitering inside and out, security doesn't seem to care either (mind you security guards can't really do anything in Canada, other than "observe and report").

Darren Lee

Great selection of shops!!

Shawn Mac

I work here but it's in a state of transition the mall has been sold and I heard it is closing at the end of October

Hayley Toews

The escalators are super sketchy and I hate using them, the bathrooms are abysmal. Stores are fine, as is the food court.

Dennis Charles Gimeno

You can buy lots of stylish and cheap clothes here. Just be patient finding parking though. Better if you just ride a bus

Russ Lupky

Sadly covid has turned this cute place into a ghost town

Organic in Winnipeg

I live downtown for 30 years . I have found people here friendly and very helpful, . ,Most bigger malls are very busy so its harder for them to service you. It's a quieter mall . I am a female and have never found any issues of safety any time of day.

Donna Mitchell

OMG! Have not been at Portage Place for years. So sad to see the place virtually empty.

May Kimewon

Great place to eat at and meet people

wes mann

Not much there, lots of creepy people in certain areas. Still, not a bad place to walk through if you are in the area. I would save shopping for the suburban malls.

Dawn Peters

Not am ideal mall to visit with all the ppl that hang around this mall makes me very uncomfortable

Star Toronto

It is a nice city shopping mall.

Stacey Jira

Good to walk through to get to MTS Centre but not great to shop.

Hasan Yasar

Nice place to eat n shop. Veg, halal food is there. Find almost everything from socks to computers, phones, tabs.

Bryan Greaves

Worst mall ever 95% people trying to bum change and smokes ,5% actual people shoppers . Time to close it down . Only good part of the mall is the underground parking .

Marie Kimberly Perez (Amira & Kareena's World)

There are a lot more offerings now inside the mall. It's convenient that there is a Dollarama inside. They need to have more security to limit the time people hang out in the food court. Sometimes, you can really feel unsafe inside the mall, bit during work hours (since there are offices at Portage place), it's okay to actually go there. It's at night time where things get sketchy.

Jon K

Worst mall in Winnipeg. Outside of underground parking for mts center events, or work, absolutely no one really wants to go to that mall. No one wants to address the elephant in the room, but it's the people who hang out there. Clean up the 'riffraff' and it might be ok for the Late 80s /early 90s

REVIEWS WINNIPEG

Security are over hyped man children. Definitely do not care to be followed when I'm buying a brand new phone outright!!! I left and went to Polo Park and had a wonderful time. Spent over 700 on my new LG Velvet with all the fixings!

Farah Carney

I don't feel safe at this mall. The mall also seems run down and definitely needs a renovation. St Vital and Polo Park are better malls.

a d

lots of nice stores and places to eat always busy. Winnipegs best mall

Nadia Khoshgoo

Downtown area shopping centre, having dining area food courts, various clothing shops, Shoppers, various offices, Canada Service, the mall security guards are there too and are friendly, the same as Canada Service agents they are kind friendly and informative, too. But the business hour is somehow less than other shopping Centre, maybe because it is downtown, so it might not suit all schedules, so you need to check its schedule in the internet etc before going there to make sure the shopping centers and the places you want to visit is open or not

Cyndi Todd

Lots of shops and eatery for resting. Is wheelchair accessible. Needs cleaner washrooms tho and hours. Closes at 6pm daily

Shawna Rossoukh

I do't shop at portage place, except at sun rise health food store. Bonita, one of the sales associates is very knowledgeable, hence I shop there

Nathan Moyse

Was surprised how decently clean it was inside considering the area , most stores are vacant... Rather sad remains of a mall.

G Aquino

Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Winnipeg. The ground floor is dominated by a food court, which is quite unusual for a mall. There aren't a lot of apparel stores and the mall does not carry some of the more popular brands.

olayemi omolodun

The Portage Place is in a central place and I was able to get all I wanted at the place.

Sheila Mckenzie

I found that the mall was dirty. And unfriendly. I needed change for parking and was unable to get any. The staff at staples was not helpful in anyway.

K Cain

Clean, safe place with security guards. Lots of great stores & a food court with nice variety.

Christopher Kobold

This mall always had people outside asking you for cigarettes and money. And when that's not happening, there are people either trying to steal from you, or sell you recently stolen goods. There is a lot of drug deals that happen here in the front and the back. The security in the mall is questionable too, because when a problem occurs, they generally just make people aware of their presence and hope that situations naturally de escalate, instead of actually intervening for the safety of the general public. The listing poorhouse is so bad, that they had to install high frequency speakers outside as a sad attempt to keep young people from hanging around for long, which is not ideal considering there is a major bus hub literally right on front. I would give this place zero stars if it was possible. Not a safe place to be after 4 pm.

X Y

A decade ago, they had better stores. And now? I had never been to a mall and not to mention downtown which had a large amount of security personnel walking around. I rather hop on the bus and head to Polo Park.

Darlene Lyndon

Stitches is my to go place. Staff always friendly. Sales all the time. New arrivals daily. Fashion up to date although Needs to get more of the L or XL. SOCIETY IS NOT SO LITTLE. ARDEN'S is where i get my footwear. The placement of other items are NOT laid out properly.

Jeff McGamey

Theres a lot of riff raff but the staff are really nice

Toby T

Sketchy place, I dont feel safe there as I have been approached many times by either panhandlers and questionable characters. Car has been broken once in the parking lot behind portage place in the middle of winter. Nothing to see there other than a depressing place.

Samantha Harper

If you're looking for a mall shopping experience I wouldn't recommend portage place. Its great if you work downtown you'll likely find what you need here.

Vanessa Fernandes

A nice place to do some of your shopping right from clothes to everything else. It also has a variety of restaurants in the food court serving a variety of dishes and some of these restaurants are actually good. The interior of the mall is tastefully decorated and the ambiance is also very good. All in all a pretty nice place for shopping and hangout.

Rachel-Lynn Normand

I like going there. It has alot of shops inside and around the place. Alot to look at.

mrnoshoes204

Pretty large mall can usually find what you need here full of all.doffernt types of stores from clothing to jewelry to food and makeup this place has everything

Luciano Lalo

Good for the variety of Canada wide phone and internet services and they have a shoppers drug mart along with a shoe warehouse store to get some cheap work shoes whatever you may need the only downside upon arrival was the massive amount of homeless especially in and near the bathroom area

Reinaldo Contreras

Small mall with a small food court. Chinese, fish and chips, A & W, Timmys, Taco Time, Thai, sushi, East Indian cuisine. Spanish (second floor) Shoppers Drugmart, Service Canada, Dolarama, Starbucks, Staples, sports clothing, back pcks store, washrooms,

Andy

They really need to get rid of food court and all the chairs. The most dangerous mall I have ever been

Mary Ann Grey

Love there nail place very friendly and professional

Rob Cardinal

I would not recommend this mall to anyone. It is an unsightly unwelcoming place. I'm not sure how retail outlets stay open in this mall.

Abigail Dahl

It's an OK place. Too many ruffians outside, and only 2 or 3 stores I'd shop at inside.

William Richards

Cool place but it's still a drug stop for pill poppers an meth heads cause they wait in the back by the doors

Bill Wong

It was good when it first open but the good stores closed down.

maurice perchak

The place feels empty but it feels like a prison the way the security treats people just making downtown even less appealing to people

Jobbish Fiddler

Alot of people at the food court... Food Court Staff Friendly... They made more space at Tim Horton's which is nice... Store Staff is Friendly also... Over All it was a Good Experience...

ron zurba

Basic food with variety of vendors, don't expect a first class dining experience.

Emily

Sketchy place. Wouldnt recommend bringing small children here. Especially in the cafeteria

Nathan Kashton

Need more stores and a better selection of stores. Good place to shop as long as you know where you want to shop.

Zach Samborski

Y'all like to hate on this mall, but show me a place where you can find never-worn Holt Renfrew shoes in a dumpster.

mona beardy

Not a good place to shop or eat there and which the security follows you everywhere espc the Dollarama security so please don't shop there(Portage Place).
