Food is at the heart of every gathering, and Matso’s new menu, launched in July, has been designed with sharing in mind. Head chef Malcolm ‘Mal’ Grant has infused Southeast Asian inspiration into a line-up that is both vibrant and comforting. Think melt-in-your-mouth beef cheek red curry, succulent hoisin pork burgers, crispy Korean fried chicken and Matso’s signature woodfired pizzas.
Every dish has been carefully created to savour, share and return for, and of course, everything pairs perfectly with an ice-cold ginger beer.
Whether you’re settling in for a casual catch-up with friends or hosting a big group dinner, the menu’s fresh, zesty flavours are all about creating moments around the table.
Apart from the food, Matso’s is already famous for its iconic ginger beer range, but the Sunshine Coast venue has raised the stakes with exclusive brews that deliver unique twists on the classic. You will love their Cucumber & Mint Ginger Beer, smooth and infused with spa-day vibes, this brew is crisp, cooling and perfect for long, lazy afternoons.
Or for something with a little more zing, try their Chilli & Lime Ginger Beer – this brew packs a refreshing punch that’s tailor-made for coastal living. Both are served straight from the taps, giving locals and visitors something extra special to sip while they soak up the relaxed Matso’s atmosphere.
But it’s not just about what’s in your glass. Matso’s knows how to keep the entertainment rolling all week long with highlights, including half price pizzas every Monday from 5pm; free pool on Mondays and Tuesdays until 8pm and Wheel of Pourtune (a one-of-a-kind trivia night), Wednesdays from 6.30pm. There is also On the Mic, where every weekend Sunny Coast legends serve acoustic sets from 2-5pm; and Family Fundays on the first Sunday of the month are the perfect excuse to bring the kids along for food, fun and a relaxed day out together.
With a line-up like this, it’s easy to see why Matso’s is fast becoming a go-to destination for more than just dinner and drinks.
Planning a party? Matso’s makes it easy to celebrate, with flexible function spaces that suit everything from birthdays to big milestone moments. Choose from the lively front bar, the heart of the brewery, the laidback patio, or the classic bar – each bringing its own character and charm. The Matso’s crew makes event planning a breeze, ensuring your celebration has just the right blend of atmosphere, flavour and fun.
And it’s not only the food, drinks and entertainment that are turning heads. The stunning Matso’s Sunshine Coast Brewery building itself has recently received significant recognition from the architecture world.
In June 2025, the venue was awarded the Gabriel Poole Building of the Year at the Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards. Hot on the heels of that achievement, Matso’s also collected three awards at the Queensland Architecture Awards, including the Commercial Architecture Award, the EmAGN Project Award, and a commendation for Sustainable Architecture.
Designed to be more than just a place to grab a pint, the brewery’s aesthetic reflects both the region’s laidback spirit and Matso’s heritage, all while setting a new benchmark in sustainable design.
It’s easy to see why Matso’s Sunshine Coast has quickly become more than just a brewery – it’s a gathering place. With its shareable menu, refreshing exclusive brews, award-winning design and a packed calendar of events, it’s a place where friends meet, families gather and memories are made.
Whether you’re dropping in for a quick drink, settling in for a long lunch, or making a night of it with trivia and live music, Matso’s serves up the perfect combination of flavour, fun and Sunshine Coast lifestyle.
