Let our bartenders whip you up something special for a night to remember.
NELLIE'S BAR

Home to the Sportsman Hotel Drag Hall of Fame, this bar is adorned with legends of our stage and drag scene, and beautiful posters of historical Queens Ball events, the longest running LGBTIQA+ event in the world.
Nellie’s Showroom is our restaurant from 5:30pm every night, so grab a table for a fantastic pub feed.
The main event of this room is our fabulous drag shows, you can catch one nearly every night of the week and enjoy camp classics by our legendary resident DJ Merlin.
BUTCH BAR
Open from 11.30am until late Tuesday – Sunday
​
First to open and last to close every day, the Butch Bar is a relaxing place in the afternoon to have a cold one from our nine taps in service.
​
This bar also has pool tables, a Nightlife jukebox, 12 gaming machines and the ever popular “Birdcage” area out the front.
Come in the early afternoon and have a yarn with Barb at the bar and hang around for our regular pool comps and grab a bite to eat.
BUNKER BAR
Open Friday and Saturday Night
​
Previously known as the Mineshaft Bar, The Bunker Bar hosts Rainbow Karaoke on Friday nights and various social clubs on a Saturday night, like Bootco, Brisbears and the Hellfire club.
We also host special events from time to time in the Bunker Bar and you can book the Bunker for your function, birthday or celebration. There is really no other experience quite like the Bunker Bar!
