Hog's Head

Fun spot in universal studios that has some great Harry Potter themed drinks. The butter beer is great and they have 4 or so real beers on tap. They have a ton of seating and some of the patio seats have a good view of the castle.

Food wise the wait can get quite long even for universal. When we were there it was 1.5 hours. So just be prepped for that if you are coming during peak hours

Hog's Head is a cute little bar that shares a seating area with Three Broomsticks within the Wizarding World of Harry at Universal Studios Hollywood. If all you want is a drink, head into their separate entrance and avoid the lines of Three Broomsticks. Drinks only and if you see the hog head on the wall, you're in the right place.

Pro-Tip: They also have butterbeer here if you want to avoid the lines at the main Butterbeer cart out in Hogsmeade.

Yep, they have butterbeer, pumpkin juice, gilly water and an array of liquors. Most notably for me, as a beer chick, are their Wizarding World of Harry Potter beers.
Dragon Scale™ (5.3% Red Ale) - $16.00
and
Hogs Head Brew™ (5.5% Scottish Ale) - $16.00
are the signature beers here and both are solid. $16 for a plastic glass of 'em is pushing it though, lol. But I'll admit it's fun to log these park exclusive beers on the app. Dragon Scale is a more fun name but if you're after flavor, Hogs Head Brew is the better of the two.

Now go drink and be merry!

Only here for butterbeer ( not really a fan of it by the way) and last night for the fireworks .

Highly recommend for the ones that do like to spike their drink :)

First off: You cannot order food here! It's in the attached restaurant and has a separate line. This place is solely for DRINKS!! You can non-alcoholic Butterbeer in three ways: regular (cold), frozen and hot.

It's almost like they have an entirely secret menu because NOTHING IS POSTED!

They have beers:
* Hog's Head Red Ale
*Dragon Scale Red Lager
*Wizard's Brew Stout
*Stella Artois
*Guinness
*Angry Orchard Cider
*Seasonal Honey Mead
*Whiskies
*Vodkas
*Rums

They way to make an alcoholic butterbeer is to buy an add shot of anything you like. I'd think Jameson or a dark rum might be good. Some people love the cinnamon whiskey combination but I think that would cancel out the butterscotch flavor.

There's also a Hog's Tea- like a Long Island Iced Tea and a Hog's Bite- Cider & Beer combined. Then there's a Triple: Cider, Beer & Guinness.

There is a roaring HOG'S HEAD at the bar. It moves from side to side and grunts too! Entertaining while you stand in line looking for a menu that doesn't exist!

There is no annual pass holder discount on alcohol. The seating is catch-as-catch-can in the few tables in the pub and adjacent Three Broomsticks dining room. There's outdoor seating as well. Restrooms are conveniently one door down on the left. Say hello to Moaning Myrtle in the Ladies' Room!

Good beer with fun names referencing the wizarding world. Keep in mind as with all theme park food, it's gonna be pricey. Got the coffee stout and it was very tasty. The bartenders will explain all the "wizard" ales to you in muggle terms if you're unsure. It would be nice if the menu made references to muggle beers so you know what to get, but this place is still a vibe. Expect a little bit of a line as they also sell cocktails and kids drinks too.

Beer is solid and that's all I really came into this place for. It's like a hole in a wall so it's a nice get away from the park for a break. Customer service is alright but I also came in towards the end of the day and was behind an annoying dude so I'll give em the benefit of a doubt.

Wouldn't bring kids (they do have kids drinks though) or a big group here cause I feel like it'd ruin the vibe

Tired of Butterbeer? Are you a parent in need of rest while the kids run free around the park? A Harry Potter aficionado looking for a place to drink? This pub is for you!

It's located in the Wizarding World at Universal Studios Hollywood. You can find the entrance to the right of the restaurant Three Broomsticks. There's almost always a line to get in, but it moves relatively quickly.

The interior resembles a medieval inn, with various wood and stone elements. It was cozy, and had a rustic aesthetic to it. The level of detail is amazing and accurate, it really feels like you're walking on an actual movie set.

There's a handful of themed drinks as well as some non-magical options everyone should be familiar with: Stella Arois, Guinness, etc. I tried the namesake Hogs Head Brew, which was a simple red ale. I found it pleasant, having a sweeter and lighter finish compared to other boozy beverages.

For the under twenty one crowd or for those who prefer things sweet, Butterbeer is a fizzy non-alcoholic drink that tastes like a combination of cream soda and butterscotch. It's very refreshing and well worth a try.

Theme parks are not just for young ones, there's plenty of fun for the adults as well!

Love this little hole in the wall, literally. It is unknown to most regular day guests. It is located next to the Three Broomsticks. This is a bar that serves drinks. You can even get spiked Butterbear. Drinks are around 15 to 18 dollars. Pretty standard. The line here is usually shorter for Butterbear. Service is quick. Seating is limited, but we can always find a seat.

I love the ambience in this place; naturally, the service is impeccable but it's also it's a great place to duck in and get a quick drink after you've walk throughout Universal theme park. There's a huge selection of alcoholic drinks, as well regular, ole Butterbeer.

Can't complain or expect too much for amusement park food but I was pleasantly surprised with my meal! The plates are pretty loaded, and yes the turkey was dry but it's def the better food in the park.

Looking for seating was a challenge but I def got lucky.
