Sportsman Hotel in Brisbane

For all you Brisvagas girls, Annie's monthly get togethers are at the Sportsman Hotel in Leichhardt Street, Spring Hill.
These events are held the first Saturday of the month and are a hoot!
Sporties is a gay hotel and fully accepting of all people. Good food and a top floor show that shouldn't be missed. Plenty of dancing if that is your go and heaps of good conversation as well. All the girls are super friendly.
The gathering of Brissy girls seems to be getting bigger each month, sixteen girls attended the last time and we had so much fun indeed. Check out a group picture taken outside of the venue on the Brisbane t-girl webs site.
There are rooms at the hotel to change and get some shut-eye, but they are few and in demand....However, there is a real nice Tranny friendly Hotel next door called the Metropolitan, rooms are real nice comfortable at a reasonable price and can be booked on the internet.
This is a late starting event for the girls...Rock up around 9.30pm onwards and the girls will start drifting in through the door. We group a heap of tables and have heaps of fun.
See you there!!

Barbara is right. The Sporties is tremendous though at all times. I cant go on the first saturday nights of the month, due to work, but I do go there after seahorse, and I always book a room for the night to save me going home (I'm in Redcliffe). I've been to Sporties a cuppla other times though, and the people are exactly the same as they are on saturday nights. Its really the most accepting freindly atmosphere you'll get. I dress to the max, and try to look my best. I blend in with everyone, and have a ball, and in the mornings when I get up, I relax in my nightgown and robe in the tv room and the smoke garden. Other come and go and talk to you......it really is the best place in Brisbane that I know, although I've never tried the metropoliton yet.

Annie from http://brisbanetgirls.com hosts monthly visits to this venue. See details at the website or in the TR Events Calendar.

I have visited this venue and even though it is apparently managed by trans people it is a gay male club. So do keep that in mind if you are thinking of attending. It seems to be stuck in the 70's (not in a good way) and is basically an old corner pub with poker machines and a small 2m² 'stage' for karaoke etc. The female toilets have dark green glossy painted cement rendered walls, a small mirror and a single dim flickering fluorescent light.

That said - people tell me they don't go there for the venue but rather for the interesting people that frequent there.

I love it there. The only prob i've had is that twice, they have'nt kept my room overnight after booking for it. I've had to stay at the metro 3 doors up. Still, there was no prob there either, great rooms too, and i walked down to the sporties in my long dress and full gear with ease.

Can anyone tell me what time of night is the best time to go and I had some GG Friends that wanted to go with me are they welcome as well?

CassandraJane · Posted: Jun 26, 2010 12:10 pm Post subject:

yes they are, i've seen lots of GG's there at times. I find the best time to go there is on saturday nights, but I can only manage to go there a cuppla times a month, and saturday is the only night I can do it. I find anytime after 9.30 is good. I'm going tonight so I'm feeling good right now. Its a comfy and secure place.
