Mexican restaurant Baja Tap to open in Fells Point, filling vacant waterfront space

A new Mexican restaurant that will mix food with live music is scheduled to open its first Baltimore location this year, with its owners aiming to revive the former Bond Street Social space in Fells Point. The Wave Group, a Virginia- and D.C.-area restaurant partnership, will open Baja Tap at 901 S. Bond St. by August. The former occupants of the space, Bond Street Social, abruptly packed up and left in early 2022. Partners in the Wave Group include former Le Diplomate head chef Greg Lloyd and D.C.-area restaurateur Scott Parker, who operates Nighthawk Brewery & Pizza and Poppyseed Rye in Virginia. The group will open its first Baja Tap location in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of D.C. by March, with the Fells Point space to follow by August.
