    Duff Brewery Beer Garden is such a fun stop, especially if you're a Simpsons fan. The whole place is perfectly themed, and sipping on a cold Duff beer while surrounded by nods to the show is just a good time. The beer itself is actually pretty solid, which makes it more than just a novelty. If you grew up watching The Simpsons (or still do), it's one of those spots that puts a smile on your face as soon as you walk in.

    Stopped by on Sunday, 04/20/25 to grab some drinks with my bf. Ordered the following: - 1 frozen strawberry margarita = $15 (with tajin rim which was an additional $1) - 1 Angel City Pilsner = $17 SUBTOTAL = $33 TAX = $3.22 TIP = $6.52 TOTAL = $42.74 (paid by my amazing bf) My margarita was extremely sour and sweet. Limiting seatings as well. Overall a great experience to drink at Universal - I've had sweeter and stronger margaritas and so the frozen strawberry one wasn't my favorite in my opinion. :(

    What beverage, brewed since ancient times, is made from hops and grains? Go to the duff beer gardens and find out. The atmosphere here is great when the sun is setting. It's a nice place to sit down for a bit and drink a crisp duff beer. Beer itself is great, though it can be hard to find seating in the area. I really like the episode clips they play on the tv. You can really find yourself sitting here too long watching clips and feeling nostalgic

    Cool experience. I wouldn't go all of the time because of the price. They don't have much of a selection, but really neat place to get off of your feet, and grab a refreshing drink. I had the Moscow mule, he had a Duff light. Our bartender was very nice, and we were also entertained by some drunken bumble bee's that were living it up, getting drunk out of the mixer cups.

    Duff Brewery Beer Garden is a great place to relax mid-park. The Duff beer is light, smooth, and super refreshing -- ideal for a sunny day. Plenty of shaded seating and fun Simpsons theming make it a chill hangout spot. Quick service, great vibes. A must-stop for beer lovers at Universal!

    ordered from here twice and i love how cute the decorations are. there's cute simpsons-themed hedges, food trucks and string lights all around we ordered the duff beer lights and they're always so good. i prefer my beers to be light and carbonated and it's always enjoyable. we like to get the beer and drink while we wait for the simpsons ride, and we'll be finished before we get on i've also tried the blue margarita and it's also delicious. it's not too sweet but also strong enough so well worth the money the price is average for alcohol (~$15 per drink) and they're not watered down or too sweet

    Duff beer on draft! It's The beer comes in lite and dry. Pricey but when do you ever get opportunities to drink at a Simpsons-themed beer garden or even be at Universal Studios? Might as well grab a cold one! It's lit!

    Cheers!

    I tried a Duff beer here more for the atmosphere than anything else. The Duff beer wasn't bad at all, rather refreshing on a hot day. You can get a disposable cup for $12 or pay an additional $2 and get the souvenir Duff cup. I got the souvenier cup. They only allow 1 alcoholic beverage per ID so I could not get my hubby's beer since I didn't have his ID. During lunch peak hour there is very limited seating. It seems like they are very short on available seating since the seating area is shared by the pizza place, the brewery, the taco shop and pretty much anyone else that decides to come and sit there. They have the Simpsons show playing on various T.V.s and you can appreciate the decor. I would try to visit here before or after lunch time to make it an enjoyable experience.

    Great little place to drink and sit in some shade between rides! The beers are big, but they'll run you like $14. They have a decent selection, plus mixed drinks and micheladas/margaritas. They also have a little taco truck you can grab tacos or nachos.

    Duff Beer is the alcoholic beverage of choice in Springfield, USA. In the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park I saw people enthused about this beer as they were with Butterbeer in Harry Potter World. Duff Brewery is located inside the beer garden that houses the common dining space for Luigi's Pizza and Bumblebee Man's Taco Truck. The entrance to the beer garden is decorated with the Seven Duffs, the mascot of Duff Beer and another cool photo-op. Among the three options there isn't much in the way of seating yet while the No1DP was buying lunch from Luigi's I managed to snag two seats at the bar of Duff Brewery. You have to be over 21 to sit at the bar itself and like all areas of the park, strictly enforce carding people. For multiple orders, 1 card equals one drink so you can't order a round for everyone in your party unless everyone presents ID. For non-Duff offerings there are a few brands of real-world beer sold such as Blue Moon. Additionally there are alcoholic frozen margaritas sold in a few flavors. Should you want a more traditional alcoholic beer they are a full bar and can make basic drinks. Three types of Duff beer are available. - Duff (American-style amber lager, flavor of caramel and roasted malt) - Duff Lite (Traditional Pilsner, smooth and refreshing) - Duff Dry (Toasted dark ale, full flavored, smooth & silky quality. Only available in bottle) I purchased a regular Duff to stake my claim at the bar seats. I took a few sips of it and thought it was quite bitter. For a non-IPA it's quite bitter but this may be due to the malt being too roasted to my liking. The No1DP got me a Duff Lite in a souvenir pilsner glass and found it smooth and refreshing. Considering it was a hot day and we were stuffing all sorts of hearty theme park food it was nice to be able to sip on a light beer! My only suggestion is that there should be a way to offer tasters of the three beers so more people can taste the full lineup of Duff Beer. Though the beverage itself is 3-star worthy, one of the managers noticed that I didn't finish my Duff beer. I told her my reason for purchasing the beer and she promptly replaced my beer with 2 qualities of higher-quality bottled water. This was such a good gesture and the bottled water ended up being much more useful during our visit.

    The Duff Brewery Beer Garden is a great place to wind down, relax, and grab a bite to eat in between your excursions at Universal Studios Hollywood. Because there's just a general lack of sufficient seating due to the increased popularity of the park with the addition of Harry Potter World, you may need to be proactive in finding a table. There's a covered seating area and an open seating area. Inside the covered seating area, there are a few rows of tables where you can sit and watch past episodes of The Simpsons playing on one of the many televisions mounted above the tables. Because the tables are pretty long, if you're part of a smaller group, please don't take up the whole table. If there's no seating in the covered area, there are several small round tables outside and a few seats at the bar. You can grab some nachos or tacos at Bumblebee Man's Taco Truck, or you can snag a pretzel and other snacks at the bar. A benefit of going to the taco truck or bar is the short wait time; many of the other restaurants can quite possibly see lines out the door. In comparison to the other places to eat at Universal Studios, I'd have to say that this is probably one of the most convenient places to order food and eat, and the Simpsons reruns are just icing on the cake. This five stars is for not having to wait in a 45 minute line and being able to find seating relatively quickly with decent theme park food prices.
