Vanilla Ice to build restaurant and brewery on Lake Avenue

Rapper and reality TV star Vanilla Ice is working on a new project in Lake Worth Beach

Once complete, people will be able to enjoy an "Ice Cold" beer at his new brewery.

It'll feature family dining, a speakeasy with a secret code and exclusive entrance, a rooftop bar with palm trees and view of the beach, and a pop culture museum.

"Pop culture mimicked the music," said Vanilla Ice. "Now you can't really dress Tik Tok like anything that's online so the fashion disconnected from the music. So, this is going to showcase some of the things that impacted the world in pop culture from Muhammad Ali to the Beatles, to Elvis, but some of my greatest like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Vanilla Ice said the new brewery is at the center of resurging arts district along Lake Avenue with million dollar condos nearby and will be located at 1000 Lake Avenue.

Vanilla Ice is working to transform an historic building in downtown Lake Worth Beach into a pop-culture museum and brewery.

The "Ice Ice Baby" rapper and host of the DIY Network's "The Vanilla Ice Project," who lives in Wellington, showed off his latest renovation project – gutting the 1922 Masonic building on Lake Avenue, near City Hall, and restoring the property to its 100-year-old splendor.

"We're gonna keep this place like the '20s so it's gonna feel like, you know, you're coming back in the '20s," Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, told his followers in a recent Facebook video that was posted on July 19.

This appears to be the building on Lake Avenue and H Street, across from City Hall. They will be able to take advantage of the new parking garage that has been built at The Bohemian. Another project in the CRA district.
