From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tail Up Goat was a Mediterranean restaurant in Adams Morgan, Washington, D.C.[1][2][3] The restaurant opened in 2016[4] and received a Michelin star. The restaurant closed on December 20, 2025, which owners Jon Sybert and Jill Tyler attributed to a lack of financial sustainability for the restaurant's business model. They planned to open a new restaurant, Rye Bunny, with lower operating costs in the same location in 2026.[5]
