Universal Studios Hollywood · The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The pub attached to Three Broomsticks, with an animatronic boar's head over the bar and the park's only interesting beer list.
Last verified July 2026
The Hog's Head is the bar attached to Three Broomsticks, sharing the same building through a connecting doorway. It is darker, smaller and considerably better than the dining hall next door, with an animatronic hog's head mounted behind the bar that snarls when the bartender pulls a particular tap.
The list includes Wizarding World exclusive beers brewed for Universal, standard beers and ciders, and the full Butterbeer range. It is the only bar in the park with anything approaching a beer list worth reading, and it is air conditioned.
Adults tend to walk past it because the Wizarding World reads as a family area. That is the whole reason it stays comparatively quiet when the village square outside is impassable.
The best bar in the Wizarding World and the shortest Butterbeer line in it. Worth going out of your way for on a hot afternoon.
The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

The original version: a chilled cream soda base with a butterscotch foam poured over the top, served in a cup or a souvenir tankard.
Our take: Fine, and sweeter than most people expect. Order it in cool weather and order the frozen one otherwise. Buy it at the Hog's Head, not the outdoor cart, and save fifteen minutes.
A draft beer brewed for Universal and sold only inside the Wizarding World, poured from the tap that sets off the animatronic hog's head above the bar.
Our take: A decent, unremarkable amber beer with a good trick attached. Worth ordering once for the tap gag, which most guests never see because they never come inside.
It is a separate bar inside the same building, connected by a doorway. You can order a drink at the Hog's Head and carry it to a table in the Three Broomsticks dining hall, which saves queuing in two places.
Usually the Hog's Head, because most guests default to the outdoor cart in the village square. The bar serves the full Butterbeer range, and it is air conditioned while the cart line is not.
Yes, there are Wizarding World exclusive drafts brewed for Universal alongside standard beers and ciders. It is the only bar inside this park with a list worth reading rather than a single tap.
