Astronomy on Tap Tickets

Astronomy on Tap (AoT) brings cutting-edge space science to casual venues with two short talks, a lively Q&A, and astronomy pub trivia. Originating in New York City in 2013, AoT was founded by Meg Schwamb and Emily Rice to make science accessible and engaging in a relaxed bar setting. Since then, local chapters have blossomed across the country, hosting free, open-to-the-public events suitable for all ages.

Whether you’re a curious stargazer, a student, or just looking for a fun, informative night out, AoT creates an approachable space to learn about the universe, meet fellow enthusiasts, and ask questions directly to researchers and teachers in the field. Check your local chapter page for the latest schedule and venue details—no advance tickets are typically required.

Browse chapters in familiar venues like Dog Haus (Pasadena), Celis Brewing (Austin), Guilford Hall Brewery (Baltimore), and Working Draft Beer Co. (Madison area), plus many others. Social media channels keep fans updated on talks, livestreams, and recaps from past events.
