The Flame Room Opens From Bakery to Cedar Rapids Dining
The Flame Room lineage traces Sleight's Restaurant rebooting as a modern bakery in 1919 at 310 Third Ave SE, then the Legion Town Club era with beer raids and slot machines, leading to Butterfly Café lease and the Flame Room's rise by 1956. It notes the Din ner of the Month Club, adjacent businesses, and a 1966 fire incident nearby.
