Sporties has a long history in Alice; it used to be the little casual place owned by and attached to the only 5-star place in town, Puccini's. But Puccini's closed and transferred some of their menu to Sporties, so as rough and tumble as they look and their Vegetarian food is amazing. "I’ve never had a bad meal at Sporties" is a common saying amongst local residents.
