Thanks to Tony for sending the closed sign on the door of Union Kitchen: ‘We are closed sorry for any inconvenience’

“Union Kitchen @ 9th/N NW has been closed for the past few days. Maybe permanently? Shame, since it was one of the last
few places to get a coffee after 7 p.m. Looks like it’s the 7-11 a few blocks north, or suffer through the evening :-)” (more…)

From a press release:

PubKey, the celebrated Greenwich Village “Bitcoin bar” where conversations around the future of sound money, monetary policy and technology flow as easily as the drinks, will open its much-anticipated DC flagship location at 410 Seventh St. NW in Penn Quarter on Dec. 19.

The 12,000-square foot space – the former Hill Country – represents a major expansion from PubKey’s 2,000-square-foot NYC location. The two-story space will allow PubKey DC to bring to life a welcoming, irreverent pub with a media studio, event stage and speaker series on cutting-edge topics across freedom tech and policy, a private dining room, community events such as trivia and karaoke and chophouse-style restaurant opening in the new year, all under a single roof.
