What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We visited Launceston to watch the Hawks Anzac Day game then called in here after to watch the Ess v Coll game and have something to eat before our flight home. Great atmosphere and great service. The staff looked after us very well and our food was delicious. Definitely visiting here again when we come to Launceston later in the year.”
“Had the pleasure of celebrating my 60th at Sporties in the function room with family and friends. It was a fantastic night with brilliant service and the platters drinks and cocktails were excellent. Could not of asked for a better night.”
“Jeff was an absolute awesome host. His willingness to assist was great. The food was delicious and the drinks good. In general my stay at sporties was great. If your a light sleeper I do not recommend as there is a pub directly downstairs. However the stay was pleasant and value for money.”
“Never stayed the night so cannot really judge the rooms but the venue itself was warm and inviting. We arrived on the Thursday and one of locals recommended the steak and pot for 22.00 absolutely amazing, tender melt in your mouth goodness. Came back 2 more nights in our short stay in the area and were amazed the food just kept getting better all the staff were great. Hopefully we can come back soon”
