## About

We built Fast Friends on the values of creating positive change and inspiring people to DO/good, LOVE/big, and LIVE/now.  Tucked away from the bustle of traffic, Fast Friends sits on three and a half acres of lush green space just south of downtown Austin. It’s part oasis, part retreat, and all about fostering human connection over good food and good beer.

We combine craft brewing, farm-to-table culinary, wellness and philanthropy into a unique hospitality experience that's unlike anything else in Austin. Stop in, say howdy and enjoy a breezy afternoon under the canopy of live oaks. There's something for everyone here, and we've never met a stranger.
