Moody Tongue is a restaurant and brewery in Chicago, Illinois.[4][5] The restaurant serves American[6] / New American cuisine and has received two Michelin stars.[7]

Moody Tongue initially opened in 2014, solely as a brewery at a location in the Chicago neighborhood of Pilsen. In 2019, it moved to a larger space in the South Loop neighborhood, opening a dining room with a tasting menu concept[8] with the goal of bringing "the culinary arts and the brewing community" together.[9]

Unlike many Michelin-starred restaurants which offer a wine or cocktail pairing, Moody Tongue is notable for offering to pair its food with the beer produced from its own brewery, which range from pilsners, stouts, ipas and sours, among other beer types.[8]

The kitchen is headed by Jared Wentworth, who had previously led former Chicago Michelin-starred restaurants Longman & Eagle and Dusek's Board & Beer,[8] while beer production is overseen by the restaurant's owner, Jared Rouben.[8]

The restaurant has a sister-location in New York, which serves sushi and Japanese cuisine.[10]
