NYT: Guy Walks Into A Bar

I just read the City Life column from yesterday's New York Times, "Guy Walks Into A Bar". The very first section stuck out:
Recently my friend Brandon and I walked along Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn looking for a place to watch a football game and to quench our thirst for a cold brew. I pushed open the door and we were headed for a pair of empty stools when we both stopped cold. The bar was packed with under-age patrons.

Some of them stumbled around the pub, others stood on chairs shouting. A few lay back, heads lolling, looking ready to be carried out. "Stroller derby," Brandon muttered, and we left.
So - does anyone want to hazard a guess as to which bar the author was writing about?

    I dunno, but I can't imagine they'll be around for very long.

    Atlantic Ave. is really long, and the part near us isn't very well-populated. I'd be willing to bet that they were out between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill...
