A Full-Circle Homecoming for Pinky Cole Hayes
“This opening is more than just a dream come true—it’s a full-circle moment for me,” said Cole Hayes. Baltimore raised me, and bringing Slutty Vegan and Bar Vegan to my hometown is my way of giving back to a city that has always been in my heart. This is just the beginning of what’s possible when we invest in our communities and believe in the power of homegrown success. Together with the incredible team at Baltimore Peninsula, we’re not just serving food and drinks—we’re creating jobs, sparking conversations, and contributing to Baltimore’s revival as one of the most dynamic cities in the country. I’m beyond grateful for the love and support we’ve already received, and I can’t wait to see how we continue to grow together.”
Located at the vibrant Baltimore Peninsula, these openings signal the area’s evolution into a hub of culture and innovation. Backed by leading developers MAG Partners, MacFarlane Partners, Sagamore Ventures, and Goldman Sachs, the waterfront development blends retail, dining, and residential spaces, making it a cornerstone of Baltimore’s renaissance.
