Why not just include the OB in your lexer rule?
Something like this:

INT_METHOD      : AT 'int' OB; // or: AT 'int' OB STRING CB;
COLUMN          : AT NAME;

OB              : '(';
AT              : '@';
NAME            : ALPHA (ALPHA | DIGIT)*;

fragment DIGIT  : ('0'..'9');
fragment ALPHA  : ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_');

and because lexer rules are matched from top to bottom, '@int' will be
matched as 'AT NAME'.
