A West Side building that once was home to a neighborhood food market is getting a new life.
The Vibe Lounge has opened at 15 Charlotte Street. The site had been vacant since the Ice House bar closed several years ago.
A Kirkwood man, Eric Boyd, owns the property but he told WNBF News he is not involved in operating The Vibe Lounge. He referred questions about the new business to the owners, who could not be reached Monday afternoon.
Video posted on Facebook showed what was billed as a "soft opening" of The Vibe Lounge last Thursday.
A social media posting for the business indicated a Valentine's Day party was to be held last Friday evening.
A new post on The Vibe Lounge Facebook page is promoting what's billed as an "RnB night with Dj Cha Chizzle on Thursday.
The "official grand opening" of the new business was advertised for Saturday.
For many years, The Vibe Lounge building at Charlotte and Florence streets house the Miracle Market, a small grocery store.
Various bars have occupied the space over the past several decades, including the Keyhole Lounge, The Raven Pub and Bobby Dee Jr.'s.
