    Upstairs bar area

    Came to Fast Friends Beer on several occasions. It is a brewery that combines craft brewing, farm-to-table culinary, wellness and philanthropy into a unique hospitality experience that's unlike anything else in Austin. It has a large building that is tucked away in South Austin on 3 and a half acres. There are several floors of the building and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. The first time I came here for a free outdoor Rumble Kickboxing class they were hosting which goes along with their motto of fostering human connection. Second I was here for a birthday party and we had the bottom area reserved and I tried several of their food and beer options including *Pub Fries - golden brown and delicious, these hand-cut pub fries will make you happy *Pretzel Bites - classic salt pretzel with grain mustard *Pesto Caprese Salad - Pesto, Cherry Tomatoes and Mozzarella, topped with Basil, a drizzle of Olive Oil and Balsamic Glaze and a sprinkle of Salt *Margherita Pizza - red sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves I was impressed with their food selection as they had some unique and healthy items. Everything I tried was very flavorful and craftfully prepared. Recently stopped by again for a networking meeting and finally made it to the top floor which was very expansive and plenty of space for meetings. There were large screens for broadcasting sporting events. Welcome brewery option to South Austin.

    Finally checked out Fast Friends a few days ago! I had been hearing about it for a while but never stopped in. We found free street parking right outside the brewery. We brought our dog with us, so after ordering inside, we sat outside. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available on 2 separate levels. There is also a huge play area for children. This is a family-friendly and dog-friendly brewery, for sure! We didn't try any of the food, but other tables had ordered food and it all looked and smelled good! We will definitely be back.

    Yumm- we loved the pepperoni pizza with the jalepeno drizzle! The beer was also phenomenal, I drank the shandy and had to have 2 of them it was so good! We came on a rainy day, but I can see how fun this place would be on a sunny afternoon! Service at the bar was good, bartender asked what we were interested in and gave recommendations. We will be back!

    Great addition to the south side right off 35 to grab some brews and food! Outside has a small playground for kiddos and seating as well as indoor seating. Food options are great! Order thru QR code at your table. Good options for vegetarian as well. Pizza is not your doughy type of pizza. Cauliflower bites are Delish!

    I've told several people about this place, and had a chance to revisit during Barks for Beers and it did not disappoint! As nice as I remembered. Great outdoor space for people and dogs alike. Your furry family members are allowed on the patio if leashed, and there is an off leash space as well. Highly recommend. Lots of parking. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, nice selections, tasty brews. It's a multi level building, but there is an elevator if stairs are an issue for you.

    Currently located near highway construction but loved that parking was easy since it hadn't gotten too busy yet. The space is great for large crowds with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Food was good! We ordered a few pizzas, the cheesy bread, truffle fries (great portion!) and the fried artichokes that was surprisingly good if you enjoy artichokes! Would've loved to toss them in some buffalo sauce as another option of "veggie wings" instead of just cauliflower. The seltzer was delicious and the hard lemonade was a bit too tart for me. Service was good as well! Once they build the other playground, it'll be much more family friendly

    Beautiful patio weather. 3rd stop on my Barks for Beers 2025. Dog friendly patio and decent food. Pizza was interesting with the jalapeno sauce, reminiscent of salsa Verde. Delicious overall. Generous portion of fries! You can scan the qr code at your table to order food. Lots of patio seating and a playground for kiddos.

    Man I have to tell you... what an amazing place. Just moved from Detroit with tons of vegetarian option and here is this wonderful brewery with a lot vegetarian & vegan options. The beer so far after 4 beers they are tasty and amazing. The staff is weird and friendly and very attentive. Love this place and Austin.

    Huge brewery with lots of open space indoors and outdoors for seating. They have a great selection of light beers and IPAs and food menu, including salads, pizzas and vegan options. There's a small outdoor play area for kids too. Really nice place to chill with the fam and friends. Definitely recommend checking it out!

    Shroom-me  With added veggie sausage
    Jonathon G.

    Short story: Go here. Long story: woo! Great atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had no idea what I wanted when I walked in so I ordered a the Shandy to drink. Wonderful! May be my favorite shandy and that's not a lie. Pizza! I'm a mushroom fiend so naturally I knew this pizza was for me when I saw it. What I didn't expect was the option of getting veggie sausage. And where else can you get a pizza with a confit garlic base around here?! The crust had a delightful but over bearing crunch. The pull of the cheese was what you dreamed of as a kid watching TMNT. Absolutely wonderful experience here. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. Kudos to you my fast friends.

    Avocado toast and vanilla latte for the win!
    Katie C.

    I just had the best avocado toast here! My vanilla latte was also pretty tasty. LOTS of indoor and outdoor seating. It also seems pretty kid-friendly - it has a playground and lots of space for kiddos to run around. The team was also eager to help and were very friendly. There appears to be two parking lots. I was here during the day on a Friday and there was ample parking. I could see parking possibly being an issue on weekends when it fills up. I'll definitely come back here to try their beer selection. Overall, great spot to chill!

    Merch! I bought the green with gold rope, love. Great quality good price point
    Sarah B.

    As a veteran, I love to support veteran owned businesses and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. I'm an avid IPA drinker, really diving into it while living in PNW. Their flagship west coast is excellent. Fries were my dream fries, everything I want in a fry! Super crispy crunchy with excellent home made ranch. Loved the pizza and my sis said wings were great. Service was lovely, shout out to Alexander. He was very welcoming and provided great service. Will come again!

    This was the Mels beer (pilsner I believe)

    Do they have TVs inside to watch football games?

    I recall at least 2 TVs inside and I think 1 outside as well.

    Is it Dog friendly?

    Yes on the outdoor seating locations

That's right, they have Ranch Water on Tap coming out of the spicket just like draft beer. It was really good and very popular with the other patrons. I ordered the Italian Sub and my wife ordered the Muffuletta Sandwich. They both had so much meat and veggies on them. It was actually kinda hard to take a bite, but we managed. They were both very good. The service in this place is amazing. I got to give a shout out to my bartender "Matt"! He was so attentive, on top of everything and had a great personality. He's one of the best bartender's I've ever had. It was a pleasure to meet you Matt! The atmosphere and ambiance in this place is very lively, joyful and rocking. They had a band that was made up of several band members from a school (sorry I don't remember the name of the school) that was killing it on stage. They played all kinds of music and a lot of old rock and roll music. They were so much fun to listen to and watch. This was our first time here, but it for sure won't be our last. I think we found a new hangout!!

The beer menu was extensive and probably something for anyone including THC and NA. The beer garden itself is very cool, lots of communal tables. And outside there are picnic tables set up, some covered. There was a food truck there with sausages, not sure if it's permanent or not. Also inside, a huge stage for bands. This place must be a draw on music nights. Highly recommend!

    Not sure if it was a bad batch or if Im not a sake person, but the whole $18 flight tasted…read moreterrible.....like fish water. In the attached picture from left to right I rank the sake from bad to less bad. The one of the right was bearable but I still would not buy it alone. Perhaps the japanese sakes would have tasted better? We also decided not to get the sushi hand rolls to try and make the drinks more bearable as they did not have much variety or sounded good. I was also not a fan of the interior. Kind of reminded me of an old chinese buffet with those large stick chairs and tables. The staff here were friendly, but nothing else really redeemed here

    Popped in there after enjoying some drinks at one of the places next door…read more I hate to admit that this was rather underwhelming. We got Texas Sake tasting to start with and this is where we finished. The flight looked very different from other people's reviews here and tasted VERY fishy. The yellow-ish one was probably the most bearable one but it still was not good at all. To be very honest, I really had to push myself to take more than one sip of each. If I had nothing to compare with, I would probably refrain from being this harsh, but I have had cheap and expensive sake and I have never tasted anything this bad... We looked at the hand roll options and we didn't find anything we would be interested in. The interior felt like it was a bingo room with a couple of Japan inspired booths that looked a little bit out of place compared to the rest of the floor. Gave one star for nice staff and a cool fish mural.
