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 its anything like its sister restaurants in Clearwater and Oldsmar, itll be worth the wait. Be sure to follow Rumba Island Bar and Grill on Facebook and Instagram to stay up-to-date on construction progress and a grand opening.
