Netflix Dahmer show draws true crime tourists to Milwaukee bar
MILWAUKEE - Usually, for a bar, anything that brings in customers is a good thing, but ever since the release of the Netflix series profiling Milwaukee serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, one bar owner in Walker’s Point says the unwanted attention has been overwhelming.As of summer 2022, it's the Wall Street Stock Bar, but decades ago, it was Club 219, infamous for being frequented by Dahmer himself as he looked for victims. The Netflix show has drawn true crime tourists, some even asking for a "Dahmer drink," which is not something you’ll find there."I knew this was a place Jeffrey had found a few of his victims," said Charese Gardner, owner of Wall Street Stock Bar.Gardner keeps that name out of her bar, instead highlighting iconic people of the stock market, not the building’s most infamous customer."We’re not doing a drink," said Gardner. "We’re not doing a mural."Gardner said ever since the Netflix show profiling serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was released in September, a lot more people have been trying to get a glimpse at the path Dahmer took."I have face marks on my mirrors outside because people are like, trying to look inside," said Gardner.
