I love this place. Inventory changes every day so it's always an adventure. I've gotten great deals on kitchen items and bought two Italian terracotta planters recently.
Love to poke around, see what's new. You just never know what you will find.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - m m.Los Angeles, CA1483815Jul 10, 2023
Awesome place for fun vintage and antiques at all price levels.
Chet was working there today and went above and beyond to help me find items for a a multi part project for my home.
Kind of wanted to keep it a hidden secret. Morality got the best of me and had to leave a review.
From glassware to furniture, kitsch, memorabilia & beyond, they have it all.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Stephanie R.Madisonville, LA121123997Oct 21, 2021
Eclectic, fun, surprising, affordable and vintage/antiques galore!! Had such an amazing day because of the friendly customer service from Wes, and the truly amazing artistic experience and inspiration found in this little, locally owned store. From quality Preowned collection wardrobe must-haves to the Thundercat's Snark that one lucky shopper found before she caught a cab to the airport, this store was delightful!!

I really can't stand markets and shops in today's society that ONLY TAKE CASH, we live in a world where there Venmo, cash app, debit cards, Square, and so much more to take cards or digital payments. To then have to send your customer away to go a block down the street to use an atm and come back is really terrible!
Also, if there was an obvious sign before you go in, especially for people who randomly find this place, to know it's cash only, perhaps they would make plans to get cash before parking and finding things they like, to only have to put it down, and then leave and decide is the trek to get cash is really worth some, somewhat ok priced neat items.
I love this store, LOVE vintage shopping, but take card or digitize payments people, COME ON!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Bria M.Gaithersburg, MD2273226Mar 13, 2018
I really really enjoyed my happenstance visit to Bargain Center. My friend and I were just wandering the streets after an awesome brunch and we couldn't help but stop in and explore. I am a glutton for a good second hand shop and could easily have been lost for hours in this little treasure trove. Bargain Center is a magical maze of goodies and every surface and wall area is covered. Without a doubt there is something for EVERYONE and there were a lot of things for me lol. Tormented by the reality that my suitcase only had so much extra room in it for oddities, well-read paperbacks, and miniature paintings of Frida Kahlo, I had to go the less is more route. I went with the Frida Kahlo wall tile and it looks perfect, perched on my little shelf in my room.
The staff woman was friendly and gently let us know that we couldn't bargain down our hand painted items, which we respected. I would love love love to go back for more. This time I'll come prepared with a little extra room in my luggage.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Andi F.Metairie, LA102166517308Oct 21, 2019
Oh for the love of everything that will overload your senses! I was in the area seeing the sights and making stops at will when we drove by this. I had to stop. Overflowing with costumes, clothing, varies from older Americana to Latin America, there is just so much to look at. I will be back for some of the home decorations. This is the perfect place for gifts for yourself and others that is just a tad on the quirky side. Friendly employees.

It was a cool place to visit. Cool hats, costumes, old fashioned gadgets & more. I Didn't see anything I was interested in but I now know where shop for "what nots" as my grandma would say about the items she stored in her China cabinet.

I would love to know when this place is open. We have gone during what Yelp says are the store hours but it's been closed. I also called on a Friday and no answer. Dying to explore!!

Great stuff but you will need to dig a bit. Owner pulled out Halloween items for display. Some Mardi gras items to chose from. There's a cute coffee shop kitty corner to this shop so grab a cup of joe and browse. We'll be back.

It's a place with an amazing collection of stuff, located in the heart of the Bywater. All kinds of inventory here, ranging from antique furniture, costumes, knick knacks and general curiosities. A terrific place to waste some time looking at stuff you can't live without. Recently however, the prices have gone up, you see prices that mention the "rental" price for a lot of the really weird stuff. I am sure the movie prop people have made they way here and the increased in Hollywood money has jacked up some of the prices.
