How to Get a Reservation at Moody Tongue in Chicago
Moody Tongue, the two-Michelin-star brewery tasting menu in the South Loop, books on Tock. Its dining room is small and pairs beer with a long menu, so release windows fill fast and cancellations are the realistic path.
The short answer
Moody Tongue, the two-Michelin-star tasting menu attached to the brewery in the South Loop, is a genuinely unusual room: a long, refined menu built around its own beers. The intimate dining-room experience books on Tock, typically as a prepaid or ticketed seat.
Seating is limited, so each release window fills quickly. After that, the openings that appear are cancellations and returned tickets on Tock, most often in the days before a date. Note that the brewery also runs a more casual bar and pizza space, which is a separate, easier booking from the tasting-menu dining room.
How booking Moody Tongue works
Set up a Tock account, save payment, and pick your acceptable nights before the window opens. Moody Tongue's pricing, deposit terms, and release timing change over time, so confirm the current details on its live Tock listing, and make sure you are booking the tasting-menu dining room rather than the casual space if that is what you want.
- The initial drop: dining-room dates posted on Tock, weekends first.
- Cancellations and returned tickets: the realistic late source of seats.
- Off-peak advantage: weeknights and earlier seatings open more often.
