  "textContent": "**CLEARWATER, FL** — 45 Sports Bar & Lounge is targeting an April 11 reopening at 1409 Cleveland St, Clearwater, FL 33755, following a multi-month remodel and operational reset, owner Roberto Anglada told Business Debut. The concept originally operated for about a year and a half before closing for roughly four to five months to renovate, upgrade equipment, and refine the menu.\n\n## What to Expect\n\nThe updated 45 Sports Bar & Lounge will offer a full-service restaurant and bar experience centered around Puerto Rican cuisine. The space has been reworked to create more room for guests, with seating for approximately 123.\n\nGuests can expect a sports bar environment with a full bar alongside made-to-order food. “I remodeled everything to make more space for my customers,” Anglada told Business Debut.\n\n## Menu and Vision\n\nThe menu will focus on Puerto Rican specialties, including tripleta sandwiches and mofongo. The tripleta features multiple grilled meats, while mofongo is made from mashed plantains with garlic and butter, served with a choice of protein such as chicken, beef, shrimp, or octopus.\n\nAnglada said the goal is to combine quality food with an energetic bar setting. “I can make good food for you and I can make your day more happy in my bar,” he told Business Debut.\n\nAnglada told Business Debut he worked hard to bring the restaurant back in a stronger form after the closure, with updated equipment, a refreshed space, and a revised menu. He also credited manager Valentina Rosa as a key part of the team. Anglada said CRA manager Vicki Cherry and CRA director Jesus Nino also helped support the business as it prepared to reopen.\n\n## Opening Timeline\n\nThe restaurant is targeting an April 11 reopening following its remodel. Anglada invested in new restaurant equipment and worked to rebuild the concept with an updated kitchen, refreshed space, and revised menu after the temporary closure.\n\n## Hours\n\n  * Monday closed\n  * Tuesday–Thursday 10:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.\n  * Friday 10:30 a.m. – 2 a.m.\n  * Saturday 10:30 a.m. – 3 a.m.\n  * Sunday 10:30 a.m. – 12 a.m.\n\n\n\n## Follow for More\n\nVisit their Instagram.\n\n* * *\n\nDrive community buzz with Business DebutWe aim to create local buzz before you even open.Business Debut | New Business Openings in the SoutheastRoss McWaters",
