'Dave and Busters-Type' Bar May Open Near Atlantic Yards

was just the beginning.

Not even after a month after news broke that a second bar will open at Flatbush Avenue and Pacific Street catering to sports fans heading to Brooklyn Nets games, the bar’s property owner has posted an online ad boasting that the massive, 35,000 square foot property is perfect for “’Dave and Busters’ type entertainment.”

The property, which as the Brooklyn Paper initially reported is owned by one-time Atlantic Yards opponent Henry Weinstein, is already slated to be the home of r – a sports bar and eatery that will also boast a slice joint and falafel spot (the silver lining: the falafel will be an outpost of none other than the legendary West Village eatery, Mamoun’s).

“Our architect calls it a ‘Sexy space’ ... we call it a freakin’ GOLDMINE for the right user!” the ad reads, boasting that the space might attract “80,000 customers” a night.

A massive amount of businesses catering to arena crowds – and increased neighborhood traffic because of them – has long been one of the chief concerns of those opposing the arena. Residents have recently raised major concerns over both and

“I think this is the tip of the iceberg for what the future holds for the block nearest the arena,” said Eric McClure, co-founder of Park Slope Neighbors. “I think something like this does have the potential to overwhelm the surrounding blocks. I also think that the community can have some influence by sticking together and pointing out the problems.”

“I think this really points out why the city had a prohibition against placing arenas withing 200 feet of a residential neighborhood, and how foolish the state was to override it. This all is just not compatible with residential neighborhood,” McClure added.

Weinstein, who did not return a request for comment, himself was once a plaintiff in a legal battle against Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner, eventually loosing a Pacific Street building that he once owned after it was seized by the state in 2010 under eminent domain law to make way for the mega construction project.

But the North Flatbush Business Improvement District, of which Weinstein is a member, said that they expect Weinstein will choose to lease the space to a tenant appropriate for the community – and not necessarily a bar.

“We understand from Henry Weinstein that he is looking at many new future tenants including Raymor and Flannigan, the furniture outlet store and not just big nightclub/sports club type venues,” Sharon Davidson, Executive Director of the NFBID, said.

“Until a lease is signed, no one should be up in arms about this," she added. "We trust that Henry, as our long time board member, will do right by the neighborhood.”
