Okay, just so you can stop all that speculation about my "basement," I ripped out the "breakfast bar" in my apartment because it was built to a height of about four and a half feet. You would have needed booster seats in most bar stools. So, no.
And the same rule applies: You must be able to get a Baltimore Sun at regular retail price that morning in the town/vicinity it's in for the place to qualify. Also as a rule, it has to serve at least SOME adult-strength beverage or potable, though that's the point in most every case--no Chuck E Cheese's or Dairy Queen need apply.
Did one of you get it yet? Maybe, maybe not. I ain't sayin'

Since no one has guessed the mystery bar yet, I'll toss a clue out there: This place is somewhere between Mount Vernon and Brewer's Hill.

Yo, Sam, if nobody guesses it, do *I* get the prize?
I think the longer it takes to guess/name it, the bigger the prize should be!
