Former WingHouse on 4th Will be a Rumba Island Bar and Grill

/

Rumba Island Bar and Grill will be opening in a former Winghouse at 6445 4th Street North

After years of sitting vacant, we are finally seeing progress on a new 5,300 SF restaurant coming soon to the site of a former WingHouse at 6445 4th Street North. Construction permits have recently been approved for the build out of Rumba Island Bar and Grill.

Rumba, which has two additional locations in Clearwater and Oldsmar, gives diners a taste of the islands in a laidback tropical atmosphere. Menu items include favorites like the Island-Style Quesadillas and Jerked Smoked Chicken Wings for starters and the signature Rumba Salad with Grouper, Crispy Coconut Shrimp and the Caribbean Pulled Pork for an entree.

And of course you can’t call yourself an island bar without some tropical cocktails! Specialty drinks are just $7.99 and include Fresh Berry Mules, a Blueberry Basil Mojito, and a Cucumber Basil Gimlet. Or if you opt for something simpler, such as a sangria, classic margarita, or a well cocktail, you’ll enjoy two-for-one all day every day!

Rumba Island Bar and Grill located at 1800 Gulf to Bay Blvd in CLearwater, FL

Rumba Island Bar and Grill is a member of the Bay Star Restaurant Group, which is led by Frank Chivas. Chivas has been operating restaurants in Pinellas County for over 20 years, including long-time institutions like Salt Rock Grill and Island Way Grill. With the addition of the Rumba on 4th Street, Bay Star will be just shy of a dozen establishments.

In 2015, Chivas was named Mr. Clearwater by the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce.  Chivas grew up in foster care and as a result has dedicated himself to helping children in need. He actively supports a variety of local nonprofits including the Boys & Girls Club, Clearwater 4 Youth,  and the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy.

There is no expected opening date for Rumba Island Bar and Grill on 4th Street, but if it’s anything like it’s sister restaurants in Clearwater and Oldsmar, it’ll be worth the wait.
