A Tulsa bar needing a makeover and a fresh start (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tabula rasa

'a fresh start' is the definition.
('tabula rasa' can be a synonym of 'fresh start')

'a tulsa bar needing a makeover' is the wordplay.
'needing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'makeover' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'tulsa'+'bar'+'a'='atulsabara'
'atulsabara' with letters rearranged gives 'TABULA RASA'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for tabula rasa that I've seen before include "fresh start" , "Like spreadsheet, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
