The wait is over (or almost over) for the opening of these five new restaurants in the Soda City.

From family owned franchises, like Iron Hill Brewery + Sully’s Steamers, to three new locally owned establishments, you’ll find breakfast, lunch, and dinner options at these new hot spots.

The Dragon Room, 803 Gervais St.

  • The Dragon Room is a Pan-Asian Cocktail Bar from Kristian Niemi, who also owns Black Rooster in West Columbia and Bourbon on Main Street. The restaurant is now open in an “soft opening” phase.

The Hoot, 2910 Rosewood Dr., Suite 1

Sully’s Steamers, 2835 Devine St.

  • Sully’s Steamers will host a soft opening of on Monday, June 26 from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. If you pick up a steamed bagel on the way to work, you might want to use Guy Fieri’s “hunch” technique. The sandwiches are a delicious hot mess.
