Three Broomsticks at Universal Orlando 2024 Guide: Menu, Reservations, and More!

Would you like to dine like a wizard at the Three Broomsticks in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal?

Today, dear ThemeParkHipster, we are visiting Hogsmeade– the only wizarding settlement in Britain without any pesky muggles.

So, chug some Fire Whisky, let sparks shoot out of your wand and flaunt your new robes! In Hogsmeade (even if it is in Universal Studios Orlando), there’s no need to hide.

And when you’re tired from all the gallivanting and want a hot meal, head over to The Three Broomsticks. Madam Rosmerta will fix you right up!

Come on, let me show you around!

Where Can I find the Three Broomsticks at Universal?

You will have to enter Hogsmeade from the main entrance (near the island of the Lost Continent) and look around. You’ll see the Three Broomsticks beside Honeydukes, right across from the Owlery.

What is the Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter?

Well, it’s only the best place in Hogsmeade to get some grub! I can’t believe you haven’t been there before.

In Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, he learns of Hogsmeade– an entire village populated only by wizards.

Unfortunately, because his pig-headed uncle Vernon just wouldn’t sign the school form that would allow Harry to go to Hogsmeade!

Although this may have something to do with Harry blowing up Vernon’s sister Marge into a giant balloon and then running away.

However, a muggle cannot stop the Chosen One from doing as he pleases.

So Harry sneaks into Hogsmeade, drinks butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, hangs out with Ron and Hermione, and even scares Malfoy out of his wits (a hilarious scene).

Over the next years of Harry’s school life, Hogsmeade and the Three Broomsticks became the stage of many iconic events. 

For one, Harry overheard the teachers talking about how Sirius Black had (kind of) killed his parents in the Three Broomsticks. Oh, and he was also Harry’s godfather.

Later in the movies, Madam Rosmerta (owner of the Three Broomsticks) was put under the Imperious Curse by Malfoy when he was tasked with a major plot point of the book series.

On the lighter end of things, Harry had his first date in Hogsmeade. He also began his illegal student group– Dumbledore’s Army there.

With all the good times and the bad, Hogsmeade and the Three Broomsticks became a vital part of the Harry Potter books and movies.

Three Broomsticks Food & Drinks

As the Three Broomsticks is an old British inn and pub, a lot of the food is standard British fare. 

You’ll find rotisserie chicken, Shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and Butterbeer. Some debate told that the Butterbeer here is better than the Butterbeer at the stands.

You can also pop over to the Hog’s Head Pub right next door and order some exclusive Wizarding World beer (my favorite spot to hangout). You will also find ales, wines and spirits.

For the kids, they also sell juices and milk. But I would recommend the Pumpkin Fizz– it’s the most ‘wizard’ thing to drink.

Theme & Decor at the Three Broomsticks

This is what makes the Three Broomsticks at Universal Orlando so special. The detail and artistry of the building is jaw-dropping.

When the art director of the Harry Potter movies– Stuart Craig saw Universal’s version of the Three Broomsticks, he used the same plan for the sets!

So yes, the Three Broomsticks in Universal is exactly the same as the one in the movie!

Let’s start with the entryway– three broomsticks (pun definitely intended) are hung from the snow-covered roof to welcome you into the inn.

Upon entering the inn, you will see high, vaulted ceilings, rickety rafters and ginormous vintage chandeliers.

Any sign of modern appliances (air conditioning, fans, lights) have been cleverly hidden. You will feel like you just stepped into the past.

Things You MUST NOT to Miss in Three Broomsticks at Universal

Now for the magical elements. There’s a twisted staircase that leads nowhere.

You can see shadows of busy house-elves scurrying away on the rafters. There’s a giant magic menu with moving pictures (just like the books!). 

And then, there’s the staff themselves who are all dressed up in wizarding gear.

Do You Need Reservations for the Three Broomsticks at Universal?

The Three Broomsticks doesn’t take any reservations except for breakfasts that are part of your Universal Orlando vacation packages.

So it’s usually a first-come, first-serve kind of thing. And there’s always a queue.

But don’t worry, it’s not a long one. And you can browse their physical menu while waiting.

By physical, I mean a life-size recreation of the menu that is separated from hungry queuers by thin glass. Very practical.

Once you have chosen your meal and moved up to the top of the queue, you can order. Collect your food at the next counter and look for an available table.

And here’s the BEST seating option– outside.

Yes, the Three Broomsticks has both indoor and outdoor seating. However, the outdoor area gives you a beautiful view of the Hogwarts Castle and the Isles of Adventure.

Best Photo Spots at the Three Broomsticks

  1. The entrance– with quaint snow-covered roofs and three broomsticks hanging over your head, you just can’t go wrong!
  2. The antler wall– apparently Madam Rosmerta really liked hunting. You can tell from the giant wall of giant antler heads in her inn. Great photo op though!
  3. The moving head– next to the inn is the Hogs Head pub. If you look closely behind the bar (and the cute barkeep), you will see that the hog’s head actually moves!

Is Three Broomsticks Better than Leaky Cauldron at Universal Orlando?

Choosing one place to dine at is really hard. Both places have similar menus, serving times and seating options.

My advice is to pick the one that meant the most to you while you watched/read Harry Potter. Or eat at both (because that’s what real fans and indecisive folks like me do).

For those who are confused, Universal Orlando Resort has two different Harry Potter-themed areas.

One is Hogsmeade inside the Islands of Adventure theme park and the other is Diagon Alley inside the Universal Studios Florida theme park.

You can travel between both Hogsmeade and Diagon using the Hogwarts Express if you have a park-to-park theme park ticket for both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure!

Leaky Cauldron is the dining option at Diagon Alley and the Three Broomsticks is the one in Hogsmeade.
