Great conversations start over a pint

Rounds of Thought is a Dublin based pub talk series bringing curious people together to learn, connect and continue the conversation.

About Rounds of Thought

Pull up a Chair

Rounds of Thought started with a simple idea: some of the best conversations happen around a table in a pub.

In a world of endless scrolling, we’re creating a space for something refreshingly simple: putting the phone down, pulling up a chair, and having conversations that inspire, challenge and encourage new perspectives.

Based in Dublin, Rounds of Thought brings together curious people for engaging talks on everything from science and business to culture and creativity. Come with friends or come on your own, ask questions, share ideas and leave with a fresh perspective.

Because the best ideas aren’t just shared from the stage, they’re discovered around the table.
