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

Arrive early, settle in and meet fellow attendees.

Listen to an inspiring guest speaker, share their experiences, ideas and insights.

Stay afterwards, ask questions, exchange perspectives and meet people who enjoy learning just as much as you do.
Be the first to hear about upcoming Rounds, new speakers and community updates.

Absolutely. Many attendees come solo. We also have designated social tables, making it easy to meet people before the talk begins.
Each talk lasts approximately 45-60 minutes, followed by an informal Q&A session and plenty of time to continue the conversation afterwards.
All events are 18+
Not at all. Whether you order a pint, a soft drink or a glass of water, everyone is welcome.
