Universal's Islands of Adventure · Hogsmeade — Islands of Adventure
The pub attached to the Three Broomsticks, with an animatronic hog's head over the bar and the only beer brewed for this land.
Last verified July 2026
The Hog's Head is a small, dark pub sharing a building and a seating area with the Three Broomsticks, reached through a door at the back or from the terrace. Behind the bar hangs the mounted hog's head the pub is named for, which snarls and moves when the bartenders tap the right spot - a detail plenty of guests drink an entire pint without noticing.
The drinks list runs to Hog's Head Brew, a beer made specifically for this location, along with cider, wine, spirits and all three temperatures of Butterbeer. It is a bar rather than a restaurant, but you can eat Three Broomsticks food at the shared tables, which makes it the sensible way to have a proper meal here without standing in the main queue.
It is also one of the very few genuinely atmospheric adult spaces at Islands of Adventure, and it is small enough that it fills quickly in the evening.
The best bar in the park and one of the only rooms here with genuine atmosphere. Hog's Head Brew is worth ordering and the shared seating with Three Broomsticks is the efficiency nobody uses.
The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.
Prices we have checked ourselves, with the month we checked them. Mark anything here and it saves to your device.
A Scottish-style ale brewed specifically for the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade and not sold at Diagon Alley across the lagoon.
Our take: An actual good beer rather than a themed novelty, and exclusive to this pub. The right order for an adult who has had enough butterscotch.
A beer brewed specifically for this pub and not sold at Diagon Alley across the lagoon. It is a Scottish-style ale, and it is the one drink in Hogsmeade worth ordering for its own sake rather than for the theme.
You can eat Three Broomsticks food at the shared tables between the two rooms - order at the restaurant counter and drink at the pub. The Hog's Head itself serves drinks rather than meals.
Yes. It is an animatronic that snarls and shifts, triggered by the bartenders rather than running on a timer. Most guests never see it because they order and leave without looking up.
