Going to free social events but still finding it hard to actually meet people?
Fast Friends is different. We don't leave you to figure out who to talk to — we guide the conversations and make sure you get to meet people.
Join us at Asian Beer Cafe for a relaxed evening in our private Ronin's Chambers, with hosted Fast Friends rounds, fun conversation activities and great-value drinks.
✨ Your Fast Friends Experience
🤝 Meet 15–25 new people through hosted conversation rounds.
💬 Great Conversations — fun conversation cards and prompts that help you move beyond “What do you do?” and discover shared interests.
🔀 Quick Connection Rounds — meet different people throughout the evening rather than staying with the same group.
🔒 Private space — Ronin's Chambers — your own comfortable area for the evening, away from the main crowd. The space can accommodate up to 30 guests.
🍹 Happy Hour drinks — Asian Beer Cafe currently offers Happy Hours 4–9 PM, including $12 cocktails, $15 beer jugs and $8 pizzas.
❤️ Come solo — most guests do, and our host helps you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

🕖 How It Works
7:00 PM – Welcome
Meet your host, grab a drink and settle into Ronin's Chambers.
7:30 PM – Fast Friends
Meet a new person every few minutes through short, hosted conversations.
💬 Great Conversations
We'll bring in a few fun conversation prompts to help you get past small talk and find people you genuinely connect with.
From 8:30 PM – Stay & Socialise
The hosted rounds finish, but the evening doesn't. Stay for drinks, happy hour and more conversations with the people you clicked with.
❤️ Why Fast Friends?
Free events can give you a room full of people. The hard part is actually meeting them.
That's what Fast Friends is designed to solve.
✔️ No standing around wondering who to approach
✔️ No cliques or awkward introductions
✔️ Meet a variety of new people
✔️ Hosted rotations keep conversations moving
✔️ Private space exclusively for our group
✔️ Conversation activities to make connecting easier
✔️ Great-value drinks at the venue
✔️ Most guests attend solo
👥 Who Is It For?
✔️ Ages 21–40
✔️ New to Melbourne or long-time locals
✔️ Solo attendees welcome
✔️ Anyone looking to make genuine friendships
✔️ People who prefer structured socialising over simply turning up and hoping to meet someone
Members from our other 3 Melbourne groups may also attend, making for an even more diverse and welcoming evening!
This is a friendship and social event, not a dating event.
Come solo. We'll make the introductions. You make the connections. ❤️
