In a true sign of a vibe shift in Washington, a DC bar beloved by Republican staffers announced that it was shuttering its doors and will reportedly be replaced by a bar that only accepts cryptocurrency as payment.Local news site PoPville first reported on Thursday that a D.C. outpost of Pubkey, a bar located in Greenwich Village that describes itself as a vibrant bitcoin community, had taken over the lease of Hill Country, a popular Texas barbecue restaurant and music venue, which recently announced it would close its doors in Penn Quarter after 14 years.Its part of a trend of crypto-centric social venues opening up across the country in the past several years. Pubkey, which opened in 2022 near New York Universitys Manhattan campus, has a notably casual atmosphere: a subterranean dive bar-slash-podcast recording studio, with a pub grub menu designed by an Eleven Madison Park alum, where anyone could hang out so long as they paid with cryptocurrency. (When Eater visited in 2022, they observed a variety of regional styles of hot dogs on the menu, as well as a stuffed raccoon next to a television that appeared to be playing A Christmas Story.) But unlike its competitors, Pubkey has a unique link to the White House: Donald Trump made a high-profile visit during the 2024 campaign and used $998.70 worth of bitcoin to buy smash burgers for the entire bar, becoming the first president to conduct a bitcoin transaction a symbolic embrace of the crypto community. When reached for comment, Pubkey owner Thomas Pacchia confirmed that they would be opening a DC location in the coming months, but declined to specify the location. The DC location will have podcast studios, event space, all that stuff, he told The Verge. Although he acknowledged the negative publicity surrounding Trumps visit, Pacchia added that Democrats such as Rep. Ritchie Torres and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand had visited Pubkey as well and hoped the new location would draw a bipartisan crowd. Anybody that wants to come and talk about Bitcoin is welcome. Literally, anyone.The bar it will reportedly replace has diametrically opposed vibes. Located close to DCs power lobbying firms, Hill Country, a bar whose decor could not scream TEXAS any louder, has long been known as a DC nightlife spot particularly beloved by Republican staffers looking for live country music, a good smoked brisket, and decently priced well liquor. Its also a place where one could witness high-powered GOP lawmakers letting loose: Rep. George Santos was once spotted singing I Will Survive on a Wednesday karaoke night in 2023, while under a federal and Congressional investigation for fraud and lying about his background. (This reporter has personally attended several live karaoke nights and at least one company holiday party at Hill Country over the past several years.) Pubkeys arrival in Washington comes at a notable time in cryptos history, whether it displaces the Republican bar or not. Once considered an unserious group of libertarians by lawmakers, the cryptocurrency community now has massive influence with the Trump administration, thanks to key crypto players such as David Sacks and Elon Musk supporting Trumps reelection. Trump himself has embraced cryptocurrency more than previous presidents, launching his own memecoin, appointing Sacks as a crypto czar and announcing a potential cryptocurrency strategic reserve. (The rise of crypto has inadvertently stoked competition between the nativist MAGA right and the global economy-focused tech right, a tension so palpable that Vice President J.D. Vance recently had to call for a truce between the two.) With the upcoming opening of Pubkey, it appears that in the nations capital, the crypto faction is literally gaining ground. See More:

As announced earlier this week, the Gemini app is getting the ability to generate Audio Overview podcasts, with Android and iOS users beginning to see this capability today.Audio Overviews have widely rolled out on the web for free Gemini and paid Advanced subscribers in English, with more languages coming soon.On mobile, uploading a document or slideshow will show a new Generate Audio Overview suggestion chip alongside Talk Live about this (which has not fully launched on Android). You can also open the overflow menu in Deep Research reports to generate a podcast.After tapping, it takes a few minutes for the conversation between two AI hosts to generate. Google will send a notification when its ready. The other way to access is by going to the Chats history in the top-left corner of the homescreen. Before todays launch, you could not access past Audio Overviews in your history on mobile. Something unexpected about this capability is how the Gemini app has no built-in audio player. Instead, tapping the Gemini Audio Overview directly opens the file (.m4a) in a browser tab. As such, youre interacting with the default Chrome, iOS, etc. player, though it does allow for straightforward downloads. This is strange since gemini.google.com has an inline player for Audio Overviews.These podcasts can be up to several minutes in length, with the aim being to summarize the material, draw connections between topics, engage in a dynamic back-and-forth and provide unique perspectives. One thing to keep in mind with file-based Audio Overviews is that the conversation is based on that source and not real-world knowledge. Its different with Deep Research-derived podcasts.More on Gemini:Add 9to5Google to your Google News feed. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
