The Three Broomsticks is the centerpiece restaurant of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade in Universal's Islands of Adventure. The themed-inn dining room (with the rafters and the floating-candle aesthetic from the films) is the most-photographed restaurant at any Universal park. Butterbeer (cold, frozen, or hot) is served from the attached Hog's Head pub. Quick-service menu, no formal reservations required, but peak-week wait times can hit 60+ minutes at the door.
30-second setup. Cancel anytime. Free for Fairytale Dreamers travel clients.
