    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.

    One of the best bars in the city. Always a fun time. Drink menu items are named after local bar stars so that's fun if you know someone. Plenty of seating and always a great crowd!

    Great atmosphere! Very unique with the decorations and drink selections! Every seating arrangement is unique. Our seating area was aircraft themed with clouds and planes! I got the sex panther (classic) which comes with a sex panther temporary tattoo! There are games at every table so you can play and drink with your friends! Very popular spot, so you may have to wait for a table on the weekend nights!

    We loved all of these TVs with messages on them

    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.

    The drinks were amazing. The bartenders were super friendly. It was funky and fun. I would highly recommend

    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!

    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.

    Thank you for a wonderful evening

    This cocktail bar in Birmingham Alabama was so full of fun surprises that made my weekend extremely enjoyable! The staff were attentive and friendly to everyone.

    These people are great! From the bouncer getting us in on a busy night to the server bringing a special bday surprise! They went above and beyond to take care of our friend. Drinks were all great!

    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.

    Does House of Found Object allow 20 year olds? Would LOVE to show my friend the place. I know she couldn't drink the cocktails- but there are some mocktails so I figured they might!

    It is a bar, 21 and up only as required by both state and federal laws.

They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

It's a very intimate bar, galley style. The cocktails are great, they have all the basics and usually a smaller menu of fun options. My friend and I ordered a drink and sat down at one of the tables to take in the show!! They do the burlesque show on the last Friday of every month! It was so fun and the crowd made it feel like a safe space. I'm going to try to bring my mom and some of her friends for the next one! It's a great bar with comfortable seating, and on this night it wasn't so loud that my older, hearing impaired friends wouldn't enjoy it. Burlesque aside, this is a great bar for an intimate drink.

Moving on, I ordered two cocktails: vitamin sea and out of the office, I think. I explained that I don't like sweet - both were made perfect for me with less syrup. We were there for happy hour, which is $2 off all drinks. I also had their chips and dip (no kitchen menu). 2 drinks and chips = $29. I consider that a little steep for happy hour but this was for the experience. I'd recommend a visit.

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

It's just a mini review of the Drift Food Truck that's outside…read more I've eaten there many times and have never been disappointed, though not always "Wowed"--and that was only once. The menu varies so don't expect this menu when you go. The smash burger is dependable and good. The duck fries are pretty awesome, but they seem to be super enthused about their house seasoning, almost to the point of obliteration! It's good; They just need to be a little more judicious with it. Pictured are the noteworthy Brussel sprouts: "$10 BRUSSELS' SPROUTS Red wine balsamic glaze, Agrodolce pearl onions, scallions, fried garlic " You can also have them topped with grilled chicken for a few bucks more. Can Brussels be overcooked? Apparently not. These aren't as charred as the photo suggests. The red wine / balsamic reduction adds a lot of color to them. They may look charred but there's no burned taste in the flavor. I know, those poor little Brussels look overwhelmed, but they're not. They were good in my mouth and belly.

We went very early one Saturday and were the only people in there -- but I won't hold this against them at all, as we are always early birds. The staff were all hanging out in a booth near the door. One bartender eagerly jumped up to help us, but the rest seemed pretty inconvenienced by our presence. Our bartender was great -- very personable and knowledgeable. That's about the only redeeming factor. The menus were tattered and sticky, bar itself was kinda gross, lipstick marks on our glasses, and our drinks were subpar at best. I believe the theme when we went was something about Italy, so there was a lot of potential for creative drinks, but they all seemed pretty uninspired -- think limoncello, Negronis, etc.. Also, some weird blue frozen one, but I can appreciate catering to every crowd! We probably won't be back.

The chairs sucked to add to it. I find the bathroom, whoever thought it was such a good idea to put a faucet that high was special because you have to turn the water low enough or push the faucet to the side to prevent from it splashing all over you. My in-laws got there a few mins before us and got everyone waters which that was good. The waitress, it took her forever to come back by to ask for drinks or starters. Granted we were waiting for a few other people but my husband wanted a soda and we were going to go ahead and get an appetizer. I decide to stick with my water because I just felt like I would get a drink if I asked for something different. Which I was right. My husband had to wave the waitress down for his soda. She accidentally brought him diet. She never brought back his drink. I had to get up and ask the hostess about our his drink and that we were wanting to order an appetizer. The hostess apologized and said they were really busy. I know I had to fix my face because I looked around, saw our table, and two other tables, about 6 people at the bar that the bartender handled, and looked back at the hostess like, "wtf?" The rest of our group shows up. Waitress comes back. Still no drink for my husband and gets our appetizer orders along with the remaining drink orders. When the appetizers comes out, it was a guy who brought it to us and we asked him about the soda and he apologizes and gets it for us...finally. Nothing special about the appetizer just chips and dip. We finish it and once again...the waiting game. The rest of our group still had yet to get their drinks. She comes back after another long wait, drink less, and gets our orders. My father in-law mentions the drinks, she apologies, and gets them. The wait it took for our food to come was ridiculous. I hate to imagine how long we would have had to wait if it was actually busy. Maybe it might have been worth my wild if the food was phenomenal but the moment it was sat in front...I knew it was not gonna be good. I got the Alfredo with shrimp. It looked like some soup. The sauce to noodle ratio was not good. The sauce was so runny that I had to lean it and eat the noodle like Naruto eating ramen. 5 measly pieces of shrimp. The sauce was also very gritty. How something that is so runny also be gritty, I don't know but I've had lean cuisine frozen alfredo dinners better than this $29 plate. 3 of us ordered Alfredo, only one got a piece of bread but I'm not asking for bread because I don't want to wait 30 mins to get it. My son looked at me and legit said, "we should have just gone to Olive Garden" knowing good and well I don't care for Olive Garden but also knowing it would have been better than whatever this plate in front of me was called. When walking to my car, I looked at everyone and said, "I'm sorry but this place sucked. I've been curious about it and now that I've experienced it...there is nothing here that would bring me back." So I suggest spend your money elsewhere because there is nothing that makes this place standout enough to have the audacity to have nonexistent service and charge $29 for soupy Alfredo
