As you enter, you will be greeted to the catchy tune of the Harry Potter theme playing from the loudspeakers. Every where you look is a fantastic tribute to the movie.

The house banners hang above the bar and broomsticks line the wall. The Honeydukes sweet shop stand serves chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans.

You'll see Dementors floating in the air. Hedwig watches the crowd from her cage and Aragog stays in his spiderweb just above the bar.

Of course, the menu sticks with the theme with Harry Potter inspired cocktails!

Many of the events are ticketed. You can purchase night of tickets at the door. Or you can stop by the bar without partaking in an event.

If you love Harry Potter, then we suggest you get to the Very Potter Tavern soon. By next month, the magic will have disappeared and the bar will return to its Muggle form.
