The 219 Club

This is the location of the 219 Club.

It is situated at 219 South 2nd Street in Milwaukee.

The bar gained notoriety after it was revealed that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer had picked up a number of his victims at the establishment.

Back then, it was a popular gay bar. These days, it is called the Wall Street Stock Bar.

Judging by Google Street View images, the property was boarded up and disused between 2005 and 2019.

On the night of September 15th, 1987, Dahmer met his victim, Steven Tuomi, at the 219 Club.

After some drinks and conversation, he invited the 24-year-old back to his hotel room. At that point, he drugged him and beat him to death with his bare hands.

Following the murder, he transported the body back to his grandmother's house in a suitcase before dismembering it.

In May of 1991, Dahmer also met Tony Hughes at the bar. Because Hughes was deaf, Dahmer wrote him a note offering him $50 if he agreed to go back to his apartment and pose for photographs.

After the pair went back to the Oxford Apartments, Dahmer drugged him, strangled him to death, and dismembered his body.

Other victims that went missing from the 219 Club include Raymond Lamont Smith (Ricky Beeks) and Richard Guerrero. He also met 14-year-old Jamie Doxtator at a bus stop outside of the bar.
