Know what’s opening before it opens
Opening Soon is a local guide to new restaurants, shops and spots in Austin and the Rio Grande Valley. We spot them early, follow them to opening day, and share what’s worth knowing: when they open, where they are, and what to try.
Built from state filings and the businesses’ own announcements, checked by a person before anything goes up.
From first sign to opening day
Every place on Opening Soon is at one of these three stages.
- Coming soon
The first signs: a permit, a papered window, a sign going up. Sometimes the name comes later.
- Opening soon
A date or week is known, the sign is up, or the business tells us when.
- Now open
The doors are open, soft or grand, and we’ve verified it.
Pick And after it opens, sometimes a Pick: we went, we liked it, and we tell you what to get and when to go.
Seen something new?
A papered window, a new sign, a place that just opened. Send us the address and a photo if you have one, however’s easiest.
Or write to tips@openingsoontx.com, or tag @openingsoontx when you post.
A date the business announces is confirmed. A date from its Google Maps listing says so. A place is considered open once we’ve verified it.
