Boston Bob's Bar and Grill has opened at 7370 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach. Owner Robert Morse, a singer and saxophone player who moved from South Boston in 1994, has wanted to open a venue for both musicians and sports fans since he moved here, he says. "There's a heavy Boston theme," said Morse. "But it's not just for Boston Celtics or New England Patriots fans. Everyone is welcome," he says. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday-Friday.
