Moody Tongue Brewing Company is looking to open its second New York City-based restaurant, co-founder Jeremy Cohn confirmed. This will be the brand’s fourth concept.
The Chicago-based brewery brand known for “good beer and good food” was founded by Cohn and his cousin Jared Rouben in 2014. The team tapped Michelin-starred chef Jared Wentworth to help with opening their flagship concepts The Dining Room and The Bar in Chicago. The team opened their first New York City concept Moody Tongue Sushi in the West Village, which is helmed by executive sushi chef Hiromi Iwakiri, earlier this year.
The new yet-to-be-named concept, Cohn says, will similarly showcase Japanese cuisine, however, it will be an entirely new concept. It is slated to open next summer.
While Cohn held off on revealing much about the forthcoming concept, he said it will be an extension of the brand and its philosophy.
“We’re all about good beer and good food,” he told What Now New York. “This particular location will showcase Japanese cuisine.”
He added: “While sushi will be on the menu, it will be different from the other concept.”
