Smokey Bones Suddenly Closes Clearwater Restaurant in Tampa Bay

The Smokey Bones Clearwater restaurant has closed its doors, marking the end of a familiar Gulf to Bay dining stop for local barbecue fans, late-night diners, and families who visited the Clearwater location for ribs, wings, burgers, and casual meals.

The restaurant at 2693 Gulf to Bay Blvd. is no longer operating, according to reports and the company’s location information. The closure is part of a much larger nationwide shutdown that affected remaining Smokey Bones restaurants across the country, including Florida locations in Clearwater, Melbourne, and Orlando.
