I feel a little bit bad about leaving this place 2 stars. It's actually a nice restaurant and has great potential. However the service is really terrible and food quality is unreliable. The staff are very friendly but a little bit absent minded and not very attentive... The tablets they use to take orders are cool but do not seem to help with efficiency in the least. I have dined here 5 times now and I cannot think of one time where the service was prompt. The last time it particularly bad: it took me 30 minutes to get my drink, 45 minutes to get my soup, 1 hour and 15 minutes to get my main course and then I had to go up to the counter after 2 hours to pay or I would never have left. I have thought of a few reasons for why I should need 2 hours to eat dinner. One reason I thought of was that there is a French theme in many of the dishes and as such they might want to encourage longer dining experiences by delaying service. But I quickly realized that this could not be the case because that would require faster drink service to keep the conversation going and boredom at bay... They do have a number of delicious cocktails and most people come there for that so a bit of a wait is understandable (although 30 minutes seems a but much). I would like to note that I think it is a bit annoying that only a small number if the cocktails go on special for happy hour (£5 instead of about £8). I nevertheless enjoyed my cocktail (the something Banker) which was a gin based drink beautifully garnished with lemon and rosemary. Now the parsnip soup was delicious that makes me think they could have made it from scratch directly upon our ordering it. 45 minutes seems about the right amount of time to cook up a soup and bake some fresh rolls and so if that is the case, bravo -keep up the good work. No but seriously the soup was really good - I just figure that it is probably already prepared so it should come out a little bit faster. Nice touch with the dish of melted butter though! Then came the duck. I have to say that while there were quite a few customers there to drink, the number of people actually dining was not enormous. So taking over an hour to prepare some duck seems unreasonable. Maybe they spent the time chasing the poor creature around out back and coaxing it into the oven? Also, I have to say I was disappointed by the tomato paste sauce that basically ruined what could have been a great dish paring duck with some delicious cooked greens (kale maybe?) The duck could also have been a little less cooked but this could be ignored with a good sauce. Beautiful presentation only goes so far. Now I must compliment them on being able to add a third order for our table so quickly upon request. A third member of our party arrived unexpectedly one hour after us and he was still able to eat at the same time. His drink orders were also quite speedy - but lager is fairly easy to pour. In terms of my other experiences here, the savory chicken with sticky rice is the best dish on the menu and is really good. The vegetarian sharer is also quite good as a starter. The skewers are a great idea but end up being a but over cooked / dried out. The squash risotto is not very rich/flavorful... The half lobster is also disappointing and feels like a 1/3 lobster - not worth it. Anyways I would like to say that I want to give this place more stars. It is a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and high ceilings that gives it a kind of indoor yet outdoor feel. Improvements would be easy and are eagerly awaited. read more

The Lost & Found - Bars Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

Since this place opened a few months ago, I was pleased the opportunity arose to go here and have a few celebratory drinks for a friends birthday. As soon as I walked through the doors, the bar had a very grand and classy feel about it. The place was quiet (probably due to the snow) apart from a few people on the raised dining level above, and a large party of about twenty having drinks on a large table nearby which meant we got served straight away. There are an array of cocktails to choose from their menu, which is superb for a fan of cocktails like me. They are however not your average cocktails such as Woo woo or Tequila Sunrise but cocktails names such as Midlands Princess which is fruity and Explorers Cup which is rum based. The bar attender was knowledgeable about the drinks on the menu, and was able to recommend some cocktails to those who were not sure what to have. The bar has plenty of comfy places to sit such as large booth areas, and high armchairs. Unfortunately the "room behind the secret door" as its becoming known wasn't open, however the bar attender was happy to lead the way and show us around. I won't say anymore on here and spoil the surprise! All in all a great bar and restaurant which would be a perfect pit stop during a shopping trip, or during the week for a bite to eat. I will be returning at some stage to sample their food. read more

I love this joint and normally have a great time here, so it was with great dismay that I have to update my review with 2 stars rather than 5... We popped here after our meal at Purnells on Sunday for a "dessert cocktail" treat. I am a huge fan of cocktails and really rate the different concoctions at Lost & Found, but the whole thing was a disappointing experience. The place was pretty quiet for a weekend. This was a good thing, as sometimes the wait for cocktails can be pretty excruciating (Pro Tip: the wait around the bar can be avoided if eating and ordering table service). After we had found a table in the bar area, we perused the beaten up and water damaged (time for some new prints, I think) menu's to confirm what I knew I wanted anyway... A Sir Elliots Milkshake. Off Dan trotted to the bar to obtain two of these delicious milky creamy boozy treats. What greeted him was the grumpiest bar man in history. Not a smile, not a nice word to say; just pure grumpiness. Again, a shame as the staff in L&F have always been chatty and friendly when I've been before. Next disappointment; the cocktails themselves. Now, fellow cocktail drinkers will know about the "ice" issue in certain establishments. Y'know... when you order a delicious treat and end up with 60% ice and 40% actual liquid? This particular cocktail was more like 90% ice (I kid you not). We struggled to find much to actually drink. We were contemplating having another one... but decided against it (as it would mean dealing with scowly barman and potentially another icicle of a drink). All in all, I will go back. I do imagine this was a "one-off" rather than a new standard for the venue... still... a shame as it was a special day and the experience was mediocre at best. read more

I was amazed how busy this place was! I stepped in and the atmosphere was great, people sitting and standing with their drinks everywhere. The décor was creative a very different... Starting with upside down hanging flowerpots and ending with the bookshelf wallpaper - Cool! While having the food, I thought it was very loud in the restaurant but the food was "only ok". The green beans were totally raw and tasted as if they hadn't seen any boiling water. The burger was very nice though! The service was friendly but didn't ´seem to have time for the details. She brought us some sauces from a different table which were half empty and covered with crumbs of chips from other people... hmm I would definitely come back here to have some drinks! read more

Really lovely meal with my friend Charlotte at this pub that was once Bennetts and originally an old bank. Décor is great - wonderful bookshelf wallpaper and soft lighting. Seating also comfortable with plenty of booths for groups or couples. Service also efficient. There is also a secret room for private hire! Grilled steak burger with fries was delicious (£10.35 approx.) but a wide selection of salads sharing platters, meat and pasta available , from £6-15. The cocktail menu is great and we sampled quite a few! Cocktails are £5 Mon-Fri before 8pm:) read more

I visited with our friends yesterday on a very busy Saturday in April. The place was packed and we struggled to get somewhere to sit to start with but a table near the bar became free fairly quickly, and we jumped at the chance and sat down to enjoy our cocktails which were absolutely amazing. This place is a cocktail heaven. We had arrived an hour early planning to have a couple of cocktails before we ate. We were asked if we wanted to go to our table early, which we decided we would. We were seated in the boardroom which was great for a party of 5, The door was left ajar so we still had the atmosphere of a busy place but also a private dining experience. The guy who served us was very friendly and efficient. Food was great, lovely flavoursome food, cocktails were fantastic and we had a lovely evening with our friends. Would definitely go again and highly recommend. read more

Lost & Found is a stylish cocktail bar and restaurant in the heart of Birmingham. The impressive building's previous uses have included a bank and a wine bar and it retains some grand architectural features. Lost & Found's decor makes the most of these features, with an eccentric Victorian theme that incorporates an internal 'garden' space, a library area and a grand lounge style bar. The cocktails at the Lost & Found are great. The menu offers all sorts of classics and unusual drinks, including several sweet themed treats. The last time I went I had a Hansel & Gretel, a lemon and ginger cocktail complete with mini gingerbread man on top. Cocktails cost around £7-9 and there are often drinks offers on certain cocktails. The food can be a mixed bag in my experience. I have had a rather lacklustre duck salad before. On my last visit, however, I was hungry and went for the Lost & Found buger, which did not disappoint. A Big, juicy, beef burger on a soft brioche bun, with relish and pickles. I added pulled pork for an extra £1.50, making it all the more delicious. The burger came with coleslaw, relish and chunky chips. It really did the job! read more

The Lost & Found - 'Hansel & Gretel' delicious gingery cocktail - Bars Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

I really love the ambiance in here. Meeting friends in here for a cocktail, or two, the bar is very well designed, fitted and a great place to relax in. I ordered the Ms. H. G. Watson cocktail on the assistants recommendation, and really liked it. It had Lavender syrup blended with other exotic ingredients. Right up my street. The drinks menu is substantial and varied. I've never seen so many cocktails on a drinks list. Fresh ingredients and soo mouth-watering you'll be queuing up for more. They also have a happy hour between 5-7pm weekday nights with cocktails only £5 each. (usually £8.00) If you want to splash out on something more extravagant though, I did notice a champagne on the menu for £180. (haven't they heard of a recession?) A nice & posh place to relax in, whether meeting friends or just out on a bar/pub crawl. Look out for the upside down hanging pot plants of Lavender and herbs in the seating area, the whole place smells like a florists. Enjoy. read more

Quality cocktails and hearty food. Set in what used to be a bank The Lost and Found is a really nice place to sit and eat, as well as go for some well-earned after work drinks. Despite the scale of the place The Lost & Found manages to create a surprisingly cosy atmosphere, they have what I can only describe as a Victorian explorer feel in there and it works really well. Cocktails are the order of the day here but it isn't a cocktail bar though so don't be put off by that (although you will miss out on some really cracking cocktails) if you aren't a cocktail drinker. They have a good identity going through the offering, lots of herbaceous touches that are a little different to the norm. Food is generally good, although it has been a little hit and miss, and it's nice that you get full table service. One of the advantages of that is not having to go to the bar which can get extremely busy at the weekend. You can book in advance and the place does get very busy sometimes so it might be worth it. The food itself is of that refined pub food type, personally I really like it, gives you more than a basic pub but still satisfies the soul. Now I've been mentioning how busy it can be for a reason, if you want a quiet meal at the weekend go elsewhere but you'll be fine in the day or weekday evenings. If you're looking for somewhere to book for a party/event there is a special room hidden behind a bookcase... read more

The Lost and Found is a wonderful bar in the city centre. The building is opulent and the interior is stylish and works very well with the classic building! Alongside this, it is always buzzing. I have never been here and there has not been a decent atmosphere. I last visited a week ago on Saturday night and although the place is very busy, service at the bar was efficient and friendly which really does set it apart from other cocktail bars where you can wait for what seems like an eternity for your drink. Speaking of cocktails, the ones here are divine. There is a vast selection with something for everyone and they change with the seasons. There is also a great selection of lagers and ales, both on draught and bottled, which i was sampling when here last. You won't get much change from a fiver but that's to be expected in a bar like this in a city centre! The value for money is great and whenever you visit with someone who has not yet been here, they are always impressed! Perfect for kicking off your Saturday night, having some after work drinks in the week or even a date. I would highly recommend! read more

It's the little details that make a place and this cocktail bar in the heart of birmingham is I'm abundance of them. Amazing decor and excellent cutlery and glasses are a great touch. Drinks are on the expensive size, I had a Black Russian which was extremely yummy but not worth the £7 I payed for it. The food is rather nice too served on enamel plates, I had the pulled pork wrap with homemade chips and was very unctuous. The drinks menu is long but missing the simple essentials such as gin and tonic. Overall a nice place with a good Wodehousian atmosphere but lacking in certain areas. read more

I love The Lost and Found! A cocktail bar in an old bank which also sells food, it's been open for a few years now and has become one of my go-to bars in the area. It's sweetly decorated in a Victorian botanical garden style, with bird cages and flowers everywhere. This works perfectly in the old building. There's lots of space but never quite enough seats. When you enter you can either wait to be taken to a table for food or you can go straight through to the bar for drinks. If waiting for food, there are a couple of diner-only areas with table service. I've usually found the food to be good enough as long as they stick to the classics- fish and chips, burgers, salads and so on. The highlight of The Lost and Found is really the cocktails. As well as serving a few of the classics, you can get twists on classics and their own inventions. Last night I had the best Aviation cocktail I've ever had, served in a perfectly chilled glass. It was sharp and fragrant at the same time. It gets crazily busy on weekend evenings despite all the space in there so I've often ended up leaning, which wouldn't be great for everyone. read more

I'm going to open this with a fact: The Lost and Found is probably my favourite drinking venue in the city centre. Sorry everyone else, I really enjoy your premises, but the crown is currently held here. The Lost and Found is located in the building that used to house Bennets Wine Bar; a beautiful old bank with high ceilings that, at the end of it's life, became a little shabby (they let post student me in!). After a period of being closed, it reopened as the lost and found, and what a difference. The venue makes great use of the high ceilings and architecture to create the feeling of a hidden garden; a secret watering hole. The theme (if you can call it that) is based around a Victorian mixologist. It's not as cheesey as it sounds, and it's a really nice, subtle thread that runs through the food, drink, and design. Themes usually suck; this one doesn't. Drinks aren't cheap. If you're a week from pay day, you may want to look elsewhere. However, if it's payday, head on in for a treasure trove of a menu. I don't drink beer, but it looks like a good selection. There is a great selection of wines on offer (me and my regular friend here do have a favourite!). However, it's the cocktails that really impress. There is a wide range of well known cocktails, done really well and an inventive menu of new "found" cocktails. In the couple of years that the venue has been open, it has become well known for it's impressive and inventive cocktails. I really recommend you give them a try. With all the effort on style and drinks, the food is probably a bit rubbish, right? Wrong. The menu isn't as extensive as the drinks menu, but the focus is on doing a set of things really well. I've not had a bad meal here and I think the selection is sufficient to keep most people happy, whether you like a pub favourite like fish and chips or bangers and mash, or something a little up market like scallops and chorizo. It's no Michelin star, but it is always well cooked. The service here is also great. The bar is often busy. If you're going straight from work, be prepared to queue, this place is popular. But the staff have got the skill to manage a bar queue; you don't have to stand there eyeballing someone to get served before a person flashing their *ahem* assets. The restaurant team are also great; attentive, but not overly so, always happy to help and knowledgeable. You really can sit down, have your meal and not worry about anything else. As an events venue, it works really well. I organised a 21st Birthday party here, and it was perfect. The team were able to cater for everything I asked them for and they really made the evening special. I have also eaten here for valentines day and again, I had a wonderful time. My date and I were able to have a really special evening together and it almost felt like we were the only people there. Oh, there's also a secret room. I've yet to try it, but I look forward to doing so! Overall, I think this place is great. It might cost you a night out elsewhere later down the line, but if you've got a few pennies spare on pay day, or if you want to do something special, I'd really recommend it read more

Its good if it's quiet, otherwise try something better value. Firstly the décor is well... Lush, extravagant and not in any 'bling' either. It's a lovely place to sip something in. I didn't have a great experience there but simply because of the décor I'd go back if I had to. If there was no better option and I had someone I wanted to take to a nice looking place and sit them down while I waded into the minefield that was the bar or if it was a dead quiet night, yeah I go for one, maybe then. On the first occasion there, maybe Dec '13 it was a Friday night and I was treated to around a 15 minute wait both times I went to the bar. It seemed any young lady with a cocktail menu in their hands needed the full attention of the guys behind the bar, even if they arrive there after me, or they waited on the extended orders of the various guys in suits asking people across the other side of the bar what they wanted. After two drinks that was enough and we moved on. The second time the place was dead so service was better. The cocktail I ordered... Christmas cracker was actually good, not watery, very interesting flavours.. and the beer fine but the second one of the same cocktail was fairly inferior. At the price you're paying you'd expect a bit better from this place. read more

Thursday mid Feb never been before decided on raised seating area after checking the cocktail list out I had bakewell tart and my friend had berry something quite good then we chose from the menu our waitress was very chatty liked the atmosphere of the place had the pork platter £15 with thick slices of gammon ham scotch egg honey glaze saus wowzer couldn't even touch the sourdough bread we were too full the waitress should of really let on that this was sooo huge as we had ordered a fish main as well so naughty on them but the salmon with mash and green beans was v adequate but we ploughed through it fantastic night will def recommend it again well done lost read more

"The patrons are rude and obnoxious, but the drinks, dining and service are top!!" This was the last night I spent with my girlfriend in Birmingham. We made reservations and were promptly seated upon arrival. Our table was marked with a cute little note on a bottle. Points!! Drinks took long but they were slammed. It happens. Our waitress Joseline was super nice and tried to make our experience as wonderful as possible. Note to the owner &/or manager - she's a keeper!! Bottom line, this experience cost only a mere 1/3 of our tab at Aqua Shard a couple days prior, but Lost & Found had much better starters, cocktails, entrees and dessert. The glasses were actually clean and the silverware looked... like it wasn't handed down 3 generations, lol. It wasn't even close!! Just go on a night other than Friday or Saturday so you can have a conversation. Or not - if you don't feel like talking to each other. Lol Either way, it's a good bet!! read more

I visited this bar for the first time with my partner. Upon entering, you are struck by the quirky dextrose, inside foliage and high ceilings. We found this bar a great place to relax and take in the environment . I felt service could have been better though, we were not welcomed at the bar and the member of staff came over as quiet and not very chatty, perhaps he was shy. They have a great selection of cocktails available which are of a high quality but are on the pricey side. We received a complimentary glass of strawberries with our drinks which was a nice touch. read more

I've been here a number of times for after-work drinks and once or twice at the weekends. Its got a great location right in the centre of town and is a beautiful old building. The décor is nice - floral and there's a good use of the high ceilings. Its recently been refurbished but from what I can see they just added more seating - which they definitely needed. Where there used to be one large table there are now three smaller separate tables. This is much better as on some nights that I've been there, three people took the whole table and lots of larger groups were left standing. They serve cocktails which are priced at only £5 during the week at certain times. The cocktail menu is good but there does seem be a low ratio of alcohol to ice, which is frustrating. There's a decent wine list serving up all the regular favourites. I have eaten here but it was a while ago so I don't think I can pass a judgment on that as I believe the menu has changed since then. read more

I had been to lost and found only once before, and had a pretty average experience, but post-yelp event lead to another chance for me to try this place out. Now I'm not really a cocktail drinker, so I'm not exactly their typical customer, and I'm yet to try any food, but I'll try and keep this as objective possible :-O So Lost & Found is a complete makeover of the long standing Bennetts Wine Bar, a bar that was a hive of mediocrity, but always a pretty impressive building. Lost & Found capitalises on this interesting architecture by creating an indoor/outdoor world complete with hidden passage behind a bookcase. Its a great place to walk into. Cocktails is their main game, and the other yelpers I was with certainly seemed to enjoy their various drinks. The cocktail menu is pretty innovative, with lots of interesting ingredients throughout. I was also pleased to see a good selection of beers, 3 cask, loads of choice of larger and even an american craft beer. Once of the issues I had about the place on my previous trip was the totally uninterested staff, but on this occasion the barman was friendly and super efficient so if this is representative on the way things are going, well done to L&F for improving. As it goes, the place is definitely back on my list of potential places to go for a drink, especially if I have cocktail drinking friends in tow, and I'm looking forward to trying the food menu. read more

I've been here a number of times over the last few months, and one thing that has disappointed me is the change in menu from last year. The cocktails are great, the food I have had has been nice but it's not up to the standard as it used to be. I visited here with my aunt and uncle a few weeks back and they bothered ordered the roast chicken, but when it appeared it was akin to a broth, and didn't specify this on the menu. Nonetheless, it was pleasant but not expected. Maybe it needs another freshening up! read more

It's lovely and spacious inside, nice venue, located in Central Birmingham, good atmosphere. I've been here a few times with a group before, it's little more expensive than your average pub but it's worth it. You may not find the usual stuff and that's great! From ciabatta to salmon ceasar salad and their cocktail, it was always a pleasant surprise. The lunch deal is a good one. read more

This was my second visit, I had a great sunday dinner the first time around a year ago so when planning a family outing for Sunday dinner I suggested a return visit. We arrived and were surprised how quite it was on a Sunday lunchtime. We were given menus on being seated, and the waitress hung around to take an order. We ordered a round of drinks ad the waitress stood there...we asked for a few minutes to choose what we were eating but she said she'll just stand there and wait as it made her look busy! So after a few awkward moments we placed our order. Dinner came and the results were mixed. My pork belly was lovely, piping hot and very well cooked. My partners beef dinner was also really nice. My mother had ordered the same choice but hers was served on a cold plate and it wasnt particulary hot. My sons burger and fries was also only luke warm. My daughters veggie option was well presented and she thought it was ok. I ordered a drink when the food was served but it never arrived, as no one came over to see if our food was alright I couldnt be bothered to leave my food to go and get it. When we had finished eating the waitress came over and I asked for the desert menu, to be told that 3 of the available 6 were off the menu as they were so busy and had sold out....yesterday. So we now know the deserts arent fresh. I asked for the bill and when it came low and behold the drink that never came was on there. I pointed out that my drink was never served and asked them to remove the charge, the waitress went to see the barman who took a bottle of beer from the fridge and popped the top when the waitress said its to late they are finished he just pushed the top back on and popped it back in the fridge. So all in all, the service wasnt great, the food was 50/50 and half the deserts had run out the day before... read more

Came here for a work night out. Very quirky interior with foliage roaming the walls. We were in one of the rooms which can be hired out. It was the library which was a secret room behind a bookcase; very cool. Inside it has its own bar. The bar tender was very friendly, he was working by himself and worked very hard considering most of us were ordering cocktails. We also had a buffet dinner which was an OK selection, a mix of chicken, scotch eggs wedges etc but the main reason to come here is for the drinks. The cocktail list is extensive and each cocktail is beautifully presented. I opted for a few throughout the night, my favourites being The Living Dead wbuxh cimprised of.many diffetent gins and the Aviation cocktail which tasted of palma violets. Very enjoyable evening and the staff looked after us. read more

I visited the Lost & Found on a first date. On first impression we thought it was fabulous. We walked in and was smacked in the face by the décor. We then went on to buy drinks. I was told they do cocktails, so I tried to look for a menu, none to be found, so we asked the bar tender. The cocktails came full the the brim with ice, mostly ice and a little bit of cocktail. The drinks were fairly pricey so we were both disappointed. We then went to find somewhere to sit, only to find the bar area only has a couple of tables, so we were stood standing, meanwhile the dining areas which were sectioned off had four people sat down eating. Why they couldn't at least open up one of these areas I do not know. Then to the atmosphere, the room was so noisy we struggled to hear each other talk, not something you want on a first date. We bailed fairly quickly and went elsewhere. read more

Love coming here; it's got a great atmosphere and lots of space to socialise. Came in a big group for dinner and we'd booked the Board Room which is perfect for about 15-20 people eating and stunning setting. Our server was very efficient but perhaps a little terse, probably because she needed the room back by 8 and some of the group arrived at odd times. Plenty of choice on the menu. Mushroom starter delicious. Seafood linguine a little oily for my liking but no one had any complaints. Very much recommend a night out here. So good I was meant to leave at 9 but stayed out til midnight! read more

I loved everything about this place. The food was wonderful, but the drinks menu made this place shine.

Service was quite good as well. read more

The face lift from the former Bennet's persona has added some much needed ambience, however, it was sucked away again by the team of bouncers prowling around at 6pm on a Saturday. £4.75 for a peroni won't be drawing me back. I imagine they are targeting professionals and it seems appropriate for that crowd, just not my thing. read more

The Lost & Found has lots of quirky features that I really like. The bar sweeps around a corner so there are plenty of places to be served, the dining area made me question whether I was in Tuscany with it's vineyard decor (it is a little small so would like to see it expanded). The one part of the building has wallpaper to make it look like a library so I felt like Belle from Beauty & the beast :P The walls are so long because the ceilings are so high. So despite it often getting packed, it feels both roomy & cosy. I also like the adventure to find the loos because there are a few twists & turn down a long corridor to find them. The toilets have house doors on each cubicle which is a nice touch read more

Great, great, GREAT! This place is a gem. I was in Birmingham for a couple of nights about a month ago and admittedly didn't think I would find any cool places to eat out. I live in NYC so I guess I can be a bit jaded when it comes to cool restaurants. I happened to go online and saw a link to the website for The Lost and Found and MAN am I glad that I did!!! What a freaking treat! It was so completely unexpected. The restaurant is in what seems to be an old bank. They did a really great job with the size of the room (it's huge) and the decor that they chose. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The menus were lovely, the drink menus were fun to look at (great design job!), the food was amazing, the service was great, the music volume was perfect... it was a totally unanticipated dining experience in Birmingham. They have done a wonderful job creating something unique in an otherwise somewhat bleak landscape of restaurant choices. I would 100% go back there again. And again. And again! read more
