Crab House Seafood Boil & Bar plans second Cedar Rapids location
Signage at Lindale Mall marks the local chain's expansion to the northeast side.
Signs for a second Crab House Seafood Boil & Bar have appeared at Lindale Mall in suite 602, the former site of Boulder Tap House.
The Gazette reported the new location in mid-July 2026. The space previously housed Olde Brick House, which opened in August 2023, rebranded as Lindale Neighborhood Pub in March 2025 and closed in April.
The first Crab House Seafood Boil & Bar opened in October 2023 at Westdale Town Center, 2360 Edgewood Rd. SW, Suite 100. A Coralville location followed in November 2025 at 945 25th Ave.
The expansion adds a seafood option near Lindale Mall for northeast Cedar Rapids and Linn County diners. No opening date has been confirmed.
