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!

Just went here and enjoyed a beautiful day out on their deck! We ordered the pub fries, wings in sweet BBQ sauce and a margarita pizza. All the food was delicious and promptly served at your table. Also was able to find a beer I liked thanks to the super helpful lady working there who chose some great options for me to try. Will be back!

Maybe the best pizza I've ever had ! Yes I've been to New York, and Italy so just stop. These people understand dough and composition! The beer is amazing and take the time to talk to the owner, she's smart, fun, and might teach you something!

Came to look at the event spaces and the whole place is beautiful. Actually devastated we can't have our event here due to the cost. However the staff, food and drinks were so incredible I'm sad I couldn't take them all home with me. Honestly come and check this place out! Bring some friends there's enough space for all of your friends to have a table to play games. Bathrooms were very clean and well kept.

After 4 visits, I'm sold on this place. I've been a teetotaler for my entire existence and if I can see the merits of this place, anybody can. The food is good. The staff is great - everyone I've dealt with has been the best. The space is amazing. Once the sun stops hating us so much, this place will be perfect. I have yet to try the coffee, but that's definitely on my list as this will be a go to spot for remote work/fending off agoraphobia. Highlights (so far): fried artichokes; buffalo cauliflower bites. If you have a large group and need a spot to meet at on the fly, look no further. This place has you covered. Go to the here.

I didn't even know about this place, now I wish it were closer to my side of town! New spot with so much to offer. Great menu, and even better brews. They have a huge outdoor space and the patio is dog friendly. They even have an enclosed off leash area for your pups to run and play. Definitely tip your wait staff, they have a lot of stairs to climb to bring your food down! And they do it with a smile. Great spot.

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!

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!

Fast Friends Beer has a wide variety of charm. From their events and beer offerings to the music playing over head this spot is a great spot to come get together with your friends. Take a seat on the patio to see some super great views of IH35 and the Austin downtown skyline. I have now come a few times both morning and at night for different hangs. For morning and daytime hangs there is a spot near the tv's to watch some sports or daytime shows and there are spots all along outside (wrap around patio and deck below) you can get comfortable at. As I have the ability to work remotely I have found that Fast Friends Beer has been super satisfying to come in early in the mornings. I even saw (haven't participated yet) a weekly early morning yoga that starts around 8am! They offer breakfast sandwiches, sweets, and croissants as well. There is a three tier clear small case on the bar nearest the espresso/coffee machines you should check out. I have seen the best and sweetest offerings here especially in the mornings. They have iced and hot coffee items to offer as well so don't worry about having to "wait" for the right time to get a beer. Service is friendly and the baristas/beer staff have never steered me wrong on the suggestions for their beer selections. They often have 1-2 offerings, from out of state, from other breweries and brewers. Ask the staff what is new and what they recommend. They would, naturally, know what everything tastes like on the menu and if they don't they will offer you a quick sample if you want to try for yourself before committing to a pint. Whether you come to meet up with friends to share a 12 count of wings or a whole pizza OR you come for a couple of beers to get through a couple of chapters of a book there is room for you here. I thought I saw games that are up for grabs too if you want to keep the party fun with your company and at your table.
