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.

A little confusing, you line up and order then wait for your food like a cafeteria. I asked 2 employees about the process... What do we do, stand here and wait then go find a table? Neither could answer that question ??♂️.Once we got the food it was easy enough. Really just mediocre food, but it wasn't terrible. I had the ribs. We ate in here just to try the hot butterbeer, it was really good.

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) - $16.00andHogs Head Brew™ (5.5% Scottish Ale) - $16.00are 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!

This place is awesome to cool down and grab a drink on a hot summer day. They have different beer on tap but I always get their cider with fireball. If you don't like waiting outside for butter beer, this place has them too! They also have pumpkin juice. Definitely a place to check out and grab a drink or two and cool off. Service is great, the bartenders will give you a run down of what drink they have on tap.

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 :)

ok, we were kind of hungry and decided to come here. but seeing the plates around us, my wife and I decided to just share 1 plate. good thing, too. the Portions were far more generous than one would expect from a theme park. and the butterbear? was reasonably priced specially if you consider the fact that you get to take home the mug

Best place to be in Universal Hollywood, a must visit!

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.

Ordered here for the first time. Been to Three Broomsticks a few times but never ordered only from Hogs Head In. Got 6 hot butter beers and 3 cold butter beers. They were DELICIOUS!! the hot was amazing. Tasted like a condensed milk latte. It did taste different than the cold butter beer, which was also really good. Gotta go here when you visit universal!

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!
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.

There are many locations where you can get butter beer around the Harry Potter section of universal studios. And you can get it as a regular butterbeer or frozen. But at the hogs head you can make your drink more special by buying a shot of Jameson, vodka, rum, or fireball. Before you add your shot you should drink a bit of your butterbeer because when you add your shot because it would overflow. I've tried it with a regular and frozen butterbeer. The regular butterbeer will have a stronger kick with the alcohol and the frozen one can hide the taste of the alcohol better because it is sweeter. I prefer to get mine with Jameson. And the hogs head also sells other drinks like beer, wine, and mead.

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!

This place is my family favorite spot to eat. Very homy and magical.

Fish and chips were actually quite decent AND there was malt vinegar available, which is always a plus in my book.
