About Pour & Ponder
Blending passionate ideas from experts with craft drinks to spark discussions.
Our Story
Pour&Ponder was born from a simple idea: the best conversations happen over a good drink. We wanted to create a space where intellectual curiosity meets social warmth — somewhere between a TED talk and a night out with friends.
Based in Singapore, we host intimate roving lectures in bars, lounges, and interesting spaces around the city. Each event brings together a diverse crowd of thinkers, professionals, and curious souls for an evening of ideas and connection.
