About
Elevate your Chicago craft beer experience at Moody Tongue Brewery, a sophisticated staple on any savvy traveler’s gay map. Located in the historic South Loop, this isn’t your typical neighborhood pub—it’s a world-renowned, Michelin-starred destination where 'culinary brewing' meets mid-century modern elegance. Founded on the philosophy of treating beer with the same precision as fine dining, Moody Tongue is a must-visit for those who appreciate the finer things. For queer travelers and gay men seeking a refined night out, Moody Tongue offers an atmosphere that is both intimate and undeniably sleek. You can settle into a plush leather booth at The Bar for an à la carte experience featuring their legendary 12-layer German Chocolate Cake and a Juiced Lychee IPA, or go all-in with the hyper-seasonal tasting menu in The Dining Room. The vibe here is 'date-ready' and sophisticated, making it the perfect spot for a romantic anniversary or a celebratory evening with friends. While it operates as an upscale establishment rather than a traditional gay bar, its professional, high-touch hospitality ensures it remains a top-tier queer-friendly pub in the heart of the city. Add this South Loop gem to your Chicago itinerary and discover where world-class gastronomy meets the art of the pour.
