Quick take
Coolum’s loudest live music room
Blackflag Brewing Coolum gives the Sunshine Coast one of its strongest rooms for heavier, alternative and underground live music, with touring acts landing inside a working brewery space in the Coolum industrial area.
It works as both a social brewery hangout and a performance venue, with an industrial feel, coastal attitude and a crowd that turns up for big guitar energy, punk, hardcore, metal and left-of-centre shows.

Venue feel
What it’s like
Blackflag Brewing Coolum has a rawer, more industrial feel than a coastal pub or cafe-bar, with beer, big rooms, louder shows and crowds that are there for the music.
The venue suits punk, hardcore, metal, alt-rock and festival-style events, while still working as a brewery space where locals can gather before the volume goes up.
Room note
A key room for the Coast’s heavier side
Blackflag has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s important alternative live music stops, with the Coolum venue hosting shows that might otherwise skip the region.
It has also been home to Pricey’s The Big Weekend, while Something Cool Festival has helped cement the venue as a key spot for heavier and alternative live music on the Coast.
