The Hopping Pot is primarily a butterbeer stop inside of Diagon Alley in Universal Studios. It's in the far back corner, behind the Weasleys shop. You can get some other drink refreshments as well. The line gets super long at this spot and it moves slow which can be the downside. But if you want your butterbeer fix, the Hopping Pot will surely skip you to that goal. read more

Butterbeer is one of my favorite drinks! The only time I can get the original Butterbeer is at Universal Studios! The Hopping Pot is located in Daigon Alley at Universal Studios Florida. It's a quick service dining location. As soon as you enter Daigon Alley, if you take the right path, you'll find it next to the entertainment section where Tales of the Beedle Bard usually plays. The hopping pot offers a wide range of drinks and food items. The line is usually quick too. My mom and I waited about 15 minutes both times that we stopped by the Hopping pot! Some of the drinks on the menu include Butterbeer (Shortbread & Butterscotch) Frozen Butterbeer (Shortbread & Butterscotch) Hot Butterbeer (Shortbread & Butterscotch) Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice (Orange flavor with vanilla and cinnamon) Pumpkin Juice and so much more! Food items are limited, but if you're looking for a small bite to eat, The Hopping Pot does offer Pasties such as Beef Pasty, Chicken Pasty, and even a Shepherds Pasty Pie! I want to try the Apple Chips next time I stop by The Hopping Pot! My go to drink is the Frozen Butterbeer. It's perfect for a warm summer day in Orlando Florida! read more

This was a nice little place to grab a snack/lunch. There was a long line when we got there but it didn't take too long to get through it. The lady who gave us our order was friendly. We only tried an order of beef pasty, more of a snack unless you order a lot, but we were only looking to try them. The pasties were good, nice and flaky. We didn't try the drinks but maybe next time. read more

I got the beef pasties at the hopping pot. They were really good, just a bit salty. I suppose they want you to buy a drink with it. It's located in Harry Potter World so it is highly themed which was nice! There was quite a line but it went quickly and the service was polite. I would definitely get them again but order more and call it lunch haha. read more

Any place that has butterbeer is a good place for me! We were craving this every time treat we have in the Wizarding World. What got our attention though was that they also have a good selection of brews. I was wondering what the abvs were on each one so I looked it up. Here they are! Wizard's Brew: 6.8% ABV Dragon Scale: 4.5% ABV Dark Forest Ale: 4.3% ABV Daisyfoot Ale: 3.8% ABV Quick service place. I gotta say the Wizards brew was fantastic. It's a dark ale but it's not heavy like a stout. Nice amount of strength. Surprisingly refreshing. Would brew again! read more

A trip to Universal is not complete without some kind of butterbeer snack or drink, we absolutely love the frozen version of the butterbeer year round. It's sweet, it's refreshing and surrounded by the magical atmosphere, there's nothing better! The queue can sometimes get a little long, but because it is just drinks at this location it goes fairly quickly. The only time we don't get the frozen butterbeer is when it's cold and we flip to the hot butterbeer, which is criminally underrated. read more

We came to Universal Studios Diagon Alley for a ride and a frozen Butterbeer, which was great, but they had a new beer selection that enticed us. We ended up loving the Wizard's Brew even more. It's a strong, dark ale that's actually bubbly, and refreshing in spite of how dark it looks...it had me wanting more. About 6.8 %ABV. Very good. It's inside Diagon Alley so it's all very shaded and good to get out of the hot Florida sun. The lines move fast, it's a stand in line kind of place, grab and go, and with tables outside. Good stuff. read more

The drinks are delicious! Looks like they maybe previously served food at this spot, but now it's just drinks. Mostly non-alcoholic Harry Potter themed drinks and a few beers. I tried the Fizzy Orange Juice (very slightly carbonated orange drink with cinnamon and maybe some other spices!) which was wonderful! I think this is the only drink with a fun rim of sticky sugary cinnamon, and a whole orange wheel garnish. Perfectly refreshing. As of October 2023, the drink (and I think the rest of the non alcoholic drinks as well) was $5.50. Not bad! Seems like The Hopping Pot tends to always have a line but it moves quickly, we were in and out in about 10 minutes. read more

We stopped by the Hopping Pot to cool down and try each of the non-alcoholic specialty drinks (besides butterbeer which we had already tried elsewhere). The line wasn't very long and moved quickly. Each drink was $5.50 which didn't seem outrageous and we all thought was worth it. They came in the plastic cups that can be washed out and taken home. We tried: Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice (very nice orange flavor with a hint of cinnamon, we all liked it), Tongue Tying Lemon Squash (seemed like just a good lemonade), Peachtree Fizzing Tea (similar to a peach iced tea but lighter on the tea flavor), and Fishy Green Ale (the group's least favorite - minty and the popping blueberry balls were fun). read more

One thing I knew I had to do at Universal Studios was visit the Harry Potter section and, of course, try a Butterbeer. I didn't have high hopes because I had ordered a Butterbeer at a showing of the Harry Potter stage play and it was extremely disappointing. Here, though, they have an option to get it hot or cold or frozen, and I figured frozen might be the thing to get, so that's what I went with. Color me shocked! This was actually a pretty decent beverage. It's quite sweet, not surprisingly, but I enjoyed it anyway. Drinking it frozen gave it the feel of a particularly decadent slushie. And on top of all that, it looked like what you'd imagine a Butterbeer would look like. I'd certainly drink it again. read more

First stop at Diagon Alley and a memorable one at that! Our group tried all varieties of butter beer including regular, frozen and ice cream. We also tried the Witches Brew & Dragon Scale, both good, especially after all that sweet butter beer. Combine them to brew up your own potion! There are tables but if none are available, take your treats to-go as you wander the shops, or watch the Tales of Beedle the Bard show nearby. Note: the line can get long so if you don't see one has formed, stop debating and just go! You won't regret it, especially since lines for similar items elsewhere will be lengthy. read more

After traveling from Hogsmead to Diagon Alley, we worked up a thirst for something stronger than a butterbeer. The Hopping Spot offers some delicious alternatives for wizards over 21. You can enjoy a Wizards Brew, Dragon Scale, Fire Whiskey, and a few other muggle beers. I opted for the Dragon Scale red ale. Unfortunately, all of the tables were taken so we enjoyed our beers near the Knight Bus stop. read more

A quick and easy way to get your butter beer fix, this location is for beverages and butter beer ice cream only. The line is usually short and prices are the same as other spots in The Wizarding World. Located close to the stage in Diagon Alley, this is a quick serve, outside stop off. The menu is posted to the right of the register base. They offer up a couple of on tap beers, Frozen butter beer and butter beer ice cream. The frozen butter beer is a personal fave but the hubs loved the ice cream. He said he perfect that one. Overall: A Quick, easy and short line! Get your butter beer here. read more

They have several treats and beverages you would recognize if you're a Potterhead: Pumpkin Juice, Beef Pasties, Wizard's Brew and Butterbeer (available in regular, frozen and seasonally only: hot!) The hot is my absolute favorite! It's like a butterscotch hot chocolate! If you're able to come in the holiday season, I definitely recommend trying it! read more

I must admit that I am one of the few people who has not read a single book or watched a single movie of Harry Potter. Despite that, I really wanted to try the famous Butterbeer!!! So when we went to Universal Studios in Florida this was the opportunity I've been waiting for. Found The Hopping Pot inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Walked up to the counter, waited for my turn, and placed my order. Wait was not long. By the time I paid, they already had my butterbeer plus something else I spotted. The butterbeer actually tasted quite good. It reminded me of cream soda with a butterscotch topping. They also had Butterbeer Ice Cream!! I liked this even more than the drink. To me, it tasted like a yummy soft serve vanilla ice cream with butterscotch. Both items tasted even better cause it was such a hot and humid day. Highly recommend that everyone drop by The Hopping Pot to try the Butterbeer!! Do not have to be a fan of Harry Potter in order to appreciate the place. read more

My top choice for drinks when I'm at the Wizarding World. At the Hopping Pot, you'll find other specialty beverages and alcoholic beverages other than what you'd find at the butterbeer carts. The take your passholder discounts here, which cannot be applied at the butterbeer carts. Try the fishy green ale- it tastes like Christmas in a cup, and the fizzy orange juice, which is a yummy cinnamon and orange drink. They are also serving hot butterbeer here so you will not need to purchase this in a store. It has been newly added to the sign, so it may end up staying all year instead of being seasonal! read more

I liked The Hopping Pot so much I went four times while in Diagon Alley over a few days. I tried a variety of their non-alcoholic drinks and all tasted very good. They do have a couple of Harry Potter beers on draft here, too if that's your thing. You can usually find a shorter line here for butterbeer than some of the other stands and restaurants. The Hopping Pot has just a few picnic tables for seating so you could end up carrying your drink around the park instead of leisurely sipping while sitting. Non-Alcoholic Drinks I tried - Butterbeer $4.99 - Tasty like a giant butterscotch drink. Frozen Butterbeer $5.99 - Tastes the same as the regular version but even better! That's right, frozen butterbeer is the way to go if you can only try the drink one way. Pumpkin Juice $4.49 - I heard others in line saying this drink was gross but I loved it! I found it delicious and refreshing. Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice $5.32 - Nightmare drink! It's tasty but incredibly messy. It comes rimmed with cinnamon along the top of the cup which adds good flavor but is so sticky, gets everywhere, stained my clothes, got my hands all gross. Ugh! I wouldn't recommend this drink unless you plan on just sitting down and drinking it....then immediately washing your hands after sitting. Fishy Green Ale $4.99 - Boba tea! The drink tastes minty with blueberry bobas meant to look like fish eggs. Beers - Wizard's Brew $7.99 - Dark stout with chocolate notes that pleased this beer chick. If you're looking for a dark craft brew while in the park, this should fit the bill and it's quite good! This beer (along with the Dragon Scale) is made exclusively for Harry Potter fans at Universal by the Florida Beer Company Dragon Scale $7.99 - This a very solid craft Vienna Lager. I preferred Wizard's Brew but then I'm not much for lagers. And butterbeer ice cream ($5.49) - Wonderful creamy version of that butterscotchy flavor we've all come to love.The portion is big! Too large for lil'ol' me to finish. All staff was very friendly and quick to serve, they also seemed to handle the very busy times in an organized fashion. I tried nearly every drink on The Hopping Pot menu and was pretty pleased. I'd love to go back and try the rest of the drink list. read more

How awesome is this place! Just being able to sit on the benches here and take all the surroundings in, any Harry Potter fan would be floating with glee and excitement. I truly felt like I was in Diagon Alley, all part of the Wizarding World, with a FROZEN BUTTER BEER ($5.99) in hand as my eyes feasted on all there was to see. It's nicely situated in a corner but not secluded enough to be away from all the action. There's no shade where the tables are which would be my complaint, and the staff taking orders at the counter are not as friendly as I expected them to be. Good thing the frozen butter beer was such a treat that everyone in the family was in high spirits. If we weren't rushed to order, I would've decided on trying the BUTTER BEER ICE CREAM, too. I can only imagine it to taste like a root beer float with butterscotch ice cream because that's exactly how the beer tasted. Oh how delightful! Don't worry parents of minors, this is the one beer your kids can enjoy - no alcohol content whatsoever. They do serve alcohol and other fun Wizarding refreshments. Cheers! read more

You absolutely have to try the Butterbeer!!!! I was a bit hesitant to try it because I'm not a huge fan of butterscotch, but I'm glad I did! I opted for the hot Butterbeer during a cold Orlando day (40 degrees outside!) It was delicious and a nice way to warm up!! The cream on top of was my favorite part! I also tried the beef pasties that they had to offer. It was a nice little snack and was perfect to share! They reminded me of a bite sized version of Shepard's Pie that you can carry with you! There was a decent line and wait but it was definitely worth waiting for. You need to make it a priority to get a Butterbeer when you are in Orlando! read more

This is another butterbeer that also sells the icecream, other drinks, and I believe actual beer. It's set up an an outside stall with wooden tables for patrons to sit at. So it's already a little better than the carts but if you're looking for ac or dry seats in the rainy season you're out of luck. It would be nice if they had an awning or umbrellas or some way to shade and keep the rain out. As far as I can remember this place is not based on anything I know of from the books. read more

Honestly. You can't go wrong with the Hopping Pot. With so many Harry Potter references, it's hard to remember which places served what drinks, foods, merch, etc. I have not read the books (don't judge me). Regardless, the butter beer is a must! Here's the thing about the drinks at this location. IF you have visited Gaston's Tavern and had their version of a "beer," you will LOVE the "beer" redemption at this location. It actually tastes good. Fairly heavy but not too heavy. Butter beer is not the only thing you can purchase. You can also retrieve a variety of different beers. NOT YOUR TYPICAL COORS OR HEINEKEN. They have what's called Wizard's Brew and Dragon Scale. Pretty fun drinks. One of them is pretty dark. More like a dark ale than a stout. In order to find the Hopping Pot, after you enter Diagon Alley, head right before you approach Gringotts, the one with the dragon on top of course. Man I can't wait to go back to Diagon Alley and simply get lost in the atmosphere, the music, and the great drinks. Yes, it's touristy but it's definitely fun for all ages. read more

The immediate lot is small and can feel like you're competing in the Orlando Parking Olympics. But there's additional parking across the street to the left near some office buildings. Finding parking in Orlando sometimes feels as hard as snagging a spot in NYC, but trust me, it's worth the effort. They're constantly brewing something new okay, maybe not every single week, but it sure feels like it and somehow it's always excellent. There's always something fresh and creative on tap. So yes, I absolutely recommend this place. If you can park, come on in. You won't regret it.

It was easy to talk to other customers and enjoy the evening. Everyone was very friendly. They had live music- The Dad punk rock band. They also had a car show which was interesting and really cool to learn about nissan cars. I enjoyed their hefeweizen. It was definitely tasty. I would love to go back and try their moonshine. There's a barbecue joint next-door and you can order food from there. It felt like a brewery you would find in North Carolina -laid-back, great drinks, dog friendly, and good music. There is a parking lot for convenience.

This go around it was the exact opposite experience. We had several beers and we enjoyed all of them. This location is fairly large so if you have a larger group, it's great for groups to come to. They do not have food service but they do typically have a food truck there for a short period of time, but there are eateries in the area so I'm sure having food delivered or going across the street or down the street to get food would not be an issue either. My husband really enjoyed their brown ale. We also tried the bourbon barrel aged one as well and found it to be very sweet. We also tried the drunken Irish, which was great, but our favorite was by far the wee Peaty. It was described to us as having a little smoked flavor to it, but we found that was definitely not the case and really enjoyed the depth of the flavor in this beer.

The porter and stout were the smoothest and the best options for me, even with the higher alcohol content. I'm not a bitter fan and most of the other ones were too bitter for me The place is wide open with a lot of big tables and felt very spacious. The board game collection was great and had a fun time playing the Soul Tokens game. The different events here seem to keep this place pretty lively. It was quiet at first but a big crowd started to roll in the later afternoon

I tried the chips/cheese, chicken tenders and fries and a friend had the chicken flatbread. The flatbread seemed like the best of the bunch.

If you love great craft beer, Twelve Talons is one of the best kept secrets in Orlando. So Travis,…read morethe owner/brewer is in my opinion a genius. He brews beer like some people paint master pieces. The beer here is next level, especially if you appreciate the nuances of craft beer. Sarah was our server the two times I have been here and, what a great person. And she so knows her beer. The first time I was here Travis explained the concept of the 3 foot raven or crow, but upon making this review, the mythology escapes me. Still... whatever they are doing here is working. And... if you love craft beer, this is a must visit. There is beer, mead, wine and mixed drinks. And they have a dedicated food truck with some decent options. The BEER: Papa Midnight coconut Imperial Stout 10.8% ABV... so imagine a mounds or almond joy, but it is a stout. The nose is all toasted coconut. And it is so very great. Da Minted peppermint Imperial Stout 10.8% ABV... so I saved this one for last because I thought it would be sweet, and it is not. Dark chocolate and mint. Very delicious.... The Hop & Haze IPA 5.6% ABV... this a great hazy, white grapefruit, clean flavors and totally crushable She's Not Rude, Just Chai spiced red ale 5.5% ABV... the chai makes this red ale smell sweet and it is anything but that Beauregard's Berry End fruited sour 5.8% ABV... has a sweet jam nose, it is a sour, and it is sour, but those jam notes make it next level... "it's a little earthy and that comes from the mushrooms" To Sir, Wit Love gose 4.7% ABV... Light flavorful, slightly salty, slightly sour, not everyone's palette, but definitely mine Path to Gold golden ale 5% ABV... so very crushable, this is your everyday beer for everyday people She's a Bonnie Lass Irish Red 5.8%... wow, the taste is indescribable, it is red ale with balance A Norse of a Different Color hazy IPA 7% ABV... so high in IBUs, great mouth feel, if you like a piny hoppy IPA, you will be a fan Oolong Time, No See session mead 6% ABV... I am totally in love with this session mead. So graceful, tasteful and unique. I think this is my favorite!!! The Hummingbird Special sweet mead 11.8% ABV... says fermented Florida wild flowers honey, but it has a sweet and nutty almost peanut flavor. It is super sweet and quite tasty. Like a sweet wine. TT hard Cider 6.6% ABV... dry cider, like an an English cider, really liked it I so wish ai lived closer to Twelve Talons. So many great and unique flavors in craft beers, ciders and meads. There is something great going on here. Like and share.

It came with two sides, I had the tostones and salad. It was alright, but I definitely had better. I ordered it to eat it there and they put all the sauces in to-go containers, which was weird. The sauces were in such tiny containers, you definitely would need more. My friend got the mushroom arepa and a side of the sweet plantains that she really enjoyed. Service was good. The girl taking our order was super nice and polite. It was more like one step up from fast/food and self-served.
