The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando has just expanded with a new land opening at the Epic Universe theme park. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Ministry of Magic takes guests back to 1920s Paris before they are transported to the recent events in the films in the most popular ride in the park.
We spent considerable time exploring this newest edition to the Harry Potter world at Universal and stumbled upon the coolest hidden gem to find themed wizarding world drinks!
Don't Walk Right Past This Cool Harry Potter Bar
Bar Moonshine is a new Harry Potter themed bar located in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. This bar is tucked away in a back corner of the land so it is easy to walk right past it and miss it!

There's not much else in the little courtyard except some spell spots so it's easy to see why many guests haven't discovered this little hidden secret yet.
This Small Space Fills Up Fast
This is a walk up to a counter type bar, there is no inside seating and it's a small space. Outside of the bar there are a few table and chairs and they go fast. Universal could really add some more to this courtyard since it's pretty empty aside from Bar Moonshine!
Fun Harry Potter Details Inside Bar
The interior of the bar is filled with Quidditch team flags in the style of a sports bar. You might even see some teams you recognize from the books! The walls also are adorned with liquor posters advertising well-known drinks in the Wizarding World such as Firewhiskey.
Tap Handles Feature Themed Drinks
We loved looking at the cool details in this hidden Harry Potter bar especially themed tap handles featuring some well-known drinks like Pumpkin Juice and Butterbeer.
Meet Your Harry Potter Bartenders
Everyone in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter- Ministry of Magic do a nice job staying in character. When we took this picture, this bartender “wizard” did a quick spell over our drinks to make them extra magical and then posed for a picture. So much fun!
We ordered the Lobe Blaster and the Wizard's Brew. The Wizard's Brew was a full bodied, sweet stout with a smooth sweetness and dry finish. It was a good but fairly above average dark beer.
Is The Lobe Blaster Better Than Butterbeer?
I ordered the popular Lobe Blaster drink which was easily my favorite alcoholic drink at Epic Universe. The Lobe Blaster is a mix of moonshine, limoncello, absinthe, lemon juice, club soda, and simple syrup garnished with a rosemary sprig and layered with an émulsion verte. This was a strong but smooth drink. It was very refreshing on a hot day and it's something I will definitely get next time I'm in Epic Universe!
Do not skip this Harry Potter bar in Epic Universe, it's such a fun detail and serves up some great themed drinks.
