Founded in 2014 in Chicago by cousins Jared Rouben (Brewmaster) and Jeremy Cohn (CEO), Moody Tongue is built on the philosophy of culinary brewing, appealing to those with a discerning palate or, as Rouben describes, a "moody tongue." Utilizing his extensive culinary background and brewing education, Rouben approaches brewing with a chef's mindset. In 2019, the brewery relocated and expanded to launch two dining concepts: (1) a lively, à la carte restaurant, THE BAR, and (2) an elevated, intimate fine dining restaurant, THE DINING ROOM, helmed by Executive Chef James Bingham. Since opening, Moody Tongue has been honored to receive stars in the Chicago MICHELIN Guide in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Please note: our tasting menu is exclusively available in The Dining Room; our a la carte menu is exclusively available in The Bar.

For parties with 7+ guests, please e-mail contact@moodytongue.com for reservation inquiries as well as information regarding Semi-Private and Private Events.

From the OpenTable editors: Beer gets the fine dining treatment at Moody Tongue, the world’s first two-MICHELIN-Starred brewery. Chef James Bingham pairs contemporary seasonal dishes—think foie gras topped with mushroom jam and rhubarb—with the restaurant’s elegant beers like a sour raspberry framboise. Enjoy the full tasting menu in the airy, minimalist dining room or opt for the laidback à la carte experience in the lively bar with industrial accents and a statement fireplace.
