I found out yesterday morning that they closed this down. One of the main reasons I wanted to go back to Universal Studios Orlando. The one time I went was Spring Break 2000, when I was in 6th grade. This restaurant had memorabilia from most of my favorite movies at that time, and even moreso now
The two restaurants at Dark Universe are the Burning Blade Tavern, a monster hunter guild hall built beneath a windmill that periodically bursts into flames, and Das Stakehaus, an inn run by vampire familliars built over a series of catacombs, and decorated with portraits done by vampire artists who've perfected their technique over centuries.
Just heard an hour ago that they closed my favorite restaurant 😭 If I would of known, I would of went this week to take videos and pics. Hoping they reopen something similar or better. I’m a classic horror fan and loved this place.
I've always passed through that restaurant when I went to Universal and wish to eat in there. When I found out it'll be permanently closed I couldn't believe it! I hope that this restaurant will return in Epic Universe someday 🙏
Maybe when the Monster section of Epic Studios open they'll make a new variation of this restaurant. If not, they should, cuz this place is totally sick!
OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT!! It's a "quick pick" with REAL food. It looks and taste amazing👍👍 The decoration is INCREDIBLE. I think they should move the store right next to it. All the sections of the restaurant are themed differently- you can really tell they took their time and dedication to create this beautiful space....a labor of love. Our favorite is the juicy rotisserie chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. We normally sit in Franky's layer during HHN while watching old horror film clips- yes it's normally very dark. They always have something from the special HHN menu here as well and you get to sit and enjoy your food. Thank you for taking the time to show everyone this amazing restaurant/mini museum. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 🎃👻🎃👻XOXO from sunny Florida-305 PS- show the temp pop up store next to The Mummy ride- also themed with classic monsters with a TON OF PHOTO OPS!
I feel so bad for that autistic vampire guy on TikTok. I just know he was devastated when they announced that this would be rethemed as a minions café.
I’m a little surprised how small the werewolf section is of the restaurant he’s like maybe the third most popular monster other than Frankenstein and Dracula
I have been going to universal studios for years since I was a little kid and I never really had the chance to go in. My family never really wanted to go in. To bad it closed. I would have loved to go in.
When they give us the epic universe along with the dark universe they better build a cafe just like this one again, I hate they closed this down for minions cafe, this is making me hate the minions for this
I’m a huge old horror film fan. I was so Disappointed in the set up. If it weren’t for those monster films universal studios would of had to close. Abbots and Costello withe the Monsters saved them.
Hoping this park is a focal point of the new park. AND DONT WORRY UNIVERSAL. GIVEN THAT YOU ARE THE TRUE AND BEST AMERICAN STUDIO...LET US PAY FOR BRINGING BACK ALL THE OLDIES (KONGFRONTATION, BACK TO THE FUTURE, EARTHQUAKE: THE BIG ONE, HANNAH BARBERA, HITCHCOCK, JAWS, ETC.,) WE ALL LOVE YOU @USFOUNDINGBROS AND #USFOUNDINGSTUDIO 🥳😈💩☠️😊🇺🇲❤️🤩
They probably can’t do Hanna Barbara on account that WBs owns them. It would be like Wizarding World, in that they would need to get the licensing for. And with Illumination and Dreamworks, they could easily survive on their own animation IPs

I have no reason to visit Universal without this place. 😢
I sure hope they move the restaurant to Epic Universe. I wouldn’t want those props like the This Island Earth costumes go to waste.
Me too. Monter's is my favorite.
i need that to happen. i absolutely love The Monster Cafe.
They are, in a sense, splitting it into THREE dining locations.

Place is bigger than I thought. Walk by it all the time. Great video. Thank you.

I heard they are retheming it to Minions. figures.

Devastating!!!

I'm so glad that I got to spend some time in this restaurant on my last trip. My dream theming for a place to eat. Sad to see it go.
So sad they shut this down. It was one of the best themed restaurants I’d ever visited.😢
I will never forgive Gru for getting the cafe closed.
I think the trade off is great. Even though the restaurant closed, we are getting a full blown Monsters Land at Epic Universe.

I still can't believe they got rid of this for the minion café. That's so disappointing and heartbreaking.

Awwww
I’m a little surprised how small the werewolf section is of the restaurant he’s like maybe the third most popular monster other than Frankenstein and Dracula
Hopefully his section will be a lot bigger with the new cafe in the dark universe
Thank you for the tour! Love this place so much
Thanks for the tour! Definitely have to stop walking by.
Thank you for this awesome video and I have eating their before their food is good
I think that Universal should've served Pepsi instead.
I have been going to universal studios for years since I was a little kid and I never really had the chance to go in. My family never really wanted to go in. To bad it closed. I would have loved to go in.
The foodservice was mostly closed both time we were there. But it’s the coolest place to go eat.
The theming is so good, it's a shame to see it go!
14:06 Not just any Sci-Fi movie. That's a Metalunan Mutant
I miss this place
So sad I didn't get to go here and they closed it with no notice! Thanks for the video
May i use this?
I'm going to Florida at the end of August and I'm heartbroken this has gone :((
i'm going, again, in October, and it was my favorite restaurant. 😢
Went in Feb and GUTTED this wasn't around 😭
Pretty cool and pretty neat, I would not eat under the spider area tho LOL
So sad they JUST CLOSED! 😡Wanted to go in even for just the theming!
So spooky.
When they give us the epic universe along with the dark universe they better build a cafe just like this one again, I hate they closed this down for minions cafe, this is making me hate the minions for this

That would be an awesome section for the new park. All the old rides with updated technology

Shamefully closed
I remember in 2018 and there was videos playing and It was gross stuff and I didn’t want to eat 😂
