Described to us as an upscale dive bar, this place delivers. It is so cool and interesting, we spent quite some time just looking around at the different stuff, rooms, and tables. Each table has its own "theme", there are games in the tables, interesting and eclectic chotchkies and other items abound! We sat at the bar the man behind there gave us great service, made great recommendations and was super friendly and attentive. There is no food, but the drinks are good and only $12 for a nice mixed cocktail. If you're in B'ham looking for cocktails, go have the experience at HOFO!! read more

This was a fun place. I came here for my friend's 24th birthday earlier this year. There are a lot of entertaining things about this place. You really have to see it for yourself. They had some fun games here too. We played the giant UNO game. We each had a D low shot that was yummy, and I ordered the bottle cocktail in the Jarritos container that was also pretty good. read more

I've recommended House of Found Objects to people for a long time, which is why tonight's experience was so disappointing. I brought a date there for the first time after talking up the place. We walked in smiling, respectful, and in good spirits, expecting a normal interaction at the door. Instead, we were immediately met with a condescending and hostile attitude from the host and owner that caught both of us off guard. At first, I thought they were joking due to the loud environment and how abrupt the interaction was. However, it quickly became clear they were completely serious. We were calm, polite, cooperative, had our IDs ready, and gave absolutely no reason to be treated the way we were. What made it especially disappointing is that I had always viewed this place -- and the owner -- very differently based on previous experiences there. I'm not someone who expects special treatment anywhere, but basic courtesy goes a long way. Unfortunately, the owner and host tonight showed the exact opposite. The entire interaction felt completely unnecessary and disrespectful for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I don't know if we were mistaken for someone else or what caused the interaction to go the way it did. I'm sure the place will continue to do well regardless, but I hope future customers are treated with more courtesy and respect than we were tonight. read more

You absolutely must go to this place. The vibe here is spot-on -- cozy, eclectic, and just the right amount of weird. It's a bar filled with oddities and unique pieces that make you feel like you've stepped into a creative time capsule curated by the most interesting person you know. The drinks are incredibly well-priced for what you get, and the atmosphere makes it impossible not to relax. My friends and I ended up spending hours here playing Cards Against Humanity, laughing until closing time. They've got plenty of other board and card games too, which makes it easy to hang out without realizing how late it's gotten. The only real downside is the two-bathroom setup -- when it gets busy, you'll definitely notice. But honestly, when the drinks are this good and the vibe this on point, that feels like a minor inconvenience. If you're looking for a spot that doesn't try too hard, offers great drinks, and delivers an experience that feels both comfortable and unforgettable, The House of Found Objects is it. Easily one of the best bars I visited while in town. read more

So eclectic and fun! Usually, places like these just don't get the craft cocktails quite right but not here. Our drinks were so good we were pleasantly surprised! We enjoyed our drinks while playing some bananagrams, how fun. Service was great, we can't wait to go back. read more

This place is very unique and a must visit if in the area! The womb room had us dying laughing. Our table had a switch that said "do not touch" and bubbles come out of the ceiling when you did. Service was good. The heather Niven cocktail was ok (not fan of the banana) but preferred the Brian cauble although the "earthy" Description kept me from orig ordering it. read more

This was on the top of my list for a cool speakeasy unique cocktail bar and it is definitely one of the top lounges I've ever been to! So many things to see - I could play eye spy for days and still have things to see! Everywhere you look there are oddities, things that make you think, things that make you laugh and definitely things you forgot existed. Games to play are not hard to find and mixologist will tantalize your tastebuds with some pretty amazing ing concoctions you never knew existed. They come together in a tiny glass and then, BAM - you are on a taste bud roller coaster ride and you do not want it to end!!! If you are coming to Birmingham, this should be on your top list - BUT only if you are not sensitive to crude humor. Then stay home. read more

Really fun bar! We had a good time here on a Friday night. I think we got lucky because we were able to get a table immediately. We also got a cool table on the second floor overlooking the lower floor. Each table is unique so it will be a different experience every time you come here. No food but they had some fun cocktails. I was nervous about the one I ordered but I actually liked it a lot and would get it again. Bubble machines go off every once which was unexpected and made for fun pictures. They even have costumes here you can try on for fun. Definitely a unique experience! read more

Amazing! Fun! Relaxed! Entertaining! I was in town for work and I met friends here after work, good lord I'm so glad I did. It's fantastic. I sat there for about 10 minutes just gawking and everything on the walls and floating over our heads. When I went to the bathroom, I stopped by the womb room and what a hoot that is! We were taken care of by Stormy, and she was a blast. Knew the answers to out drink questions. Made great recommendations and was the perfect amount of attentive. As we sat there we played several rounds of cards against humanity and Stormy would jump in and play with us occasionally, answering a question or two. I think she had a secret stash of cards because her answers always made us roll in laughter. Can't wait to get back. read more

Nice bar. So many different objects and things around. There are costumes and a cool Photo Booth. They have games to play at your table, music and the thing I loved the most is that the menu gave detail to how the drink taste. read more

Quaint place. Staff very welcoming. Nice to go with friends. Just a good bar - to visit or come often.

I was so excited to go to The House of Found Objects. I heard so many great things. Maybe I went on an off night but it just didn't live up to all the hype. We waited in line to put our name down, but the space is just extremely tight. It's not really enough room for people to walk by and wait in line. It was extremely busy so we waited a while. I was completely fine with that since it was a Saturday night. We finally got sat and our waitresses attitude was just kinda off. I get it though, like I said, it was a busy Saturday. We ordered our drinks but before we could even get our second round we noticed the floor flooded with water. So they ended up closing early for the night. Apparently it was an issue that had happened the week before as well. It honestly may have just been a really down night for them. If I go again I would go when the open or even on a weekday. read more

The coolest of places. It is a magical wonder in here. Every turn of the head there is something new to be seen. The drinks are also fabulous. I love a good cocktail and had the Wanda Claire. To die for!! The service was superior. The people who work here are a lot of fun and want you to have the best experience. Granted we were the only people in the place, so we had the best of everything. Can't wait to be back in Birmingham for another night at The House of Found Objects. read more

Best bar in bham. So much personality and a great concept. The drinks were delicious and fairly priced. The decor is so much fun, but the place still feels a bit sophisticated. Highly recommend. I will be back. read more

Very unique eclectic bar, definitely one of a kind. Great cocktails. Random trinkets and decor scattered about. Seems like the new popular, trendy spot. There was a bit of a wait when we came by, waited about 10-15 mins. We tried a couple cocktails. Justine Schroeder: I've never before seen a cocktail that includes red pepper flakes and spicy honey. It honestly works, but not only does it work, it's one of the most delicious cocktails I've had. It's well-balanced, sweet with a little kick. I highly recommend. Kaylor Kidd: The bartender recommended this one, it's one of the most popular cocktails on the menu. I can see why, it's easy to drink, but it just feels like a standard typical cocktail. Didn't stand out to me, was just eh. I preferred the one above, by far. read more

Birmingham's chicest new bar. This place is exquisite! Feizal Valli had such a huge success with The Atomic, and he's back again with an even better nightspot! Feizal was working the door the night we arrived. The place is orderly, even though it's a super hot ticket right now. We got right in and were shown to a cosmic little booth. Cocktails were AMAZING! Of course, the Legendary Sex Panther is back, but everything was delicious. We just started at the top of the menu and ordered down from there, since everything looked delicious. We were not disappointed! read more

If you're looking for a cool and quirky night out, look no further! The House of Found Objects easily lives up to it's name thanks to the front entrance alone. You'll likely have to stand in line to be seated so use that time to browse all of the cool trinkets and pictures against the wall. As you keep entering you'll see clouds hanging from the ceiling, neat wall patterns, and beautiful plants tucked near your seat. The bartenders are super friendly and can help you find something that piques your interest. Our server was funny and helped us navigate the menu. We sat in this cool upstairs space and got to look out at the entire venue, which was awesome. The music selection was 80's jams that night, but the owner was mingling around asking people if they had any special requests. It's a jazzy casual vibe, so feel free to wear heels and a cute blouse. Not your fanciest outfit but also not your most casual. Great place for a date night or for introducing new people to the city! read more

So I don't actually drink alcohol but came here with a group on a Saturday night and have good things to say about this place. The idea and decor is so fun. We were seated pretty fast even though there was a line. They have different games on each table which is such a good idea especially for those of us who didn't drink. They actually had some good mocktails too. Overall good experience would come back!! read more

What a cool and quirky place! A friend and I checked out this great bar before a show recently and we loved it! There's a big screen that constantly plays footage from inside a Photo Booth that's very interesting. There are costumes you can wear while you're hanging out, but we didn't because we had to leave fairly quickly. The cocktails are inventive and fun. I had the Justine shroeder and the Ryan Reese and they were both delicious! Will definitely be suggesting this place for our next girls night out! read more

Love it! Bubbles, cookies, and costumes just to name a few fun things to experience while sipping a dynasty drink of either an alcohol or non-alcohol style drink. Lots of fun things everywhere!! A real highlight and hidden gem of B-ham. The service was wonderful and being on my own it was fun chatting with incredibly nice servers about the place, including the owner who gave me a grand tour. It capped off my night and will always be a fond memory of my few days in B-bam. read more

As a bar that is in the middle of very fancy restaurants, this is a great addition. Not only is this bar incredibly unique, the drinks are delicious and the service is impeccable. The owner was working as a host and was very friendly, talked about how he came up with the theme of the bar, and took us back to the womb room. Atmosphere like no other, this is a definite go to for a fun night out! read more

What an interesting and amazing experience my friends and I had here! We were treated exceptionally well by our server and the owner. We want to come back soon! The bar is full of eclectic objects and the messages they have on them reminds me of the movie They Live. It's best to come here with a group of friends because when you sit down at a table they'll give you a few games to play, such as Cards Against Humanity. It was my friend's birthday and we did a shot with the owner and he gave us each a bite of chocolate cake with birthday candles to blow out. The staff made us felt very special and welcome when we were there. I would give more stars if I could! read more
