    I used to like this place—but no more. Why? Because every time I go there, I feel like this place is trying to get every last nickel out of you. Gamekeeper’s, your business practices suck!

    Went there for NYE 08. Tickets were advertised as $30 in advance, $40 at the door. Show up there, and it turns out that the prices had been “changed” to be $50 at the door. WTF?

    And the NYE open bar and free food? The drinks were tough to get (as expected) but the “free food” was a joke. They put out three pans full of food that were devoured in minutes, and never refilled them. WTF?

    So, whatever, that was NYE, right? But I went there on a Saturday night a few weeks ago, and got charged $5 cover, and $5 for a bottle of Miller Lite. Again, WTF? First cover charge I’ve ever seen for a 4:AM bar. And $5 for a Miller Lite?

    I don’t mind dropping excessive amounts of cash on a Saturday night on the North side. But I don’t like feeling chiseled. And I feel like Gamekeepers is doing it’s greedy best to squeeze every last nickel out of you.

    BTW, if you’re gonna chisel people, how about using some of that money to get rid of that awful downstairs bathroom. The steps going down there are narrow, slippery, and dangerous as hell—I saw some poor kid on NYE go down the whole thing head first, I think they took him away in an ambulance.

    I've been here a couple times and the service has been great, the bartenders attentive and the atmosphere casual and fun (and I'm a female). I'd encourage anyone to stop by and check it out for themselves.

    Gamekeepers is a really cool bar but what is the deal with the cover charge all of the sudden... If you are going to charge it's cool, but make it like a $1 or $2..... when we come there we are obviously going to buy drinks so either way you are making money off of us and you guys charge so much after the other bars close that you profitting either way....cover plus expensive drinks= ya not going there any more
