After episode 1, the show goes back to when Dahmer committed his first murder and then the many other murders he committed until his capture and arrest in 1991.
Is Club 219 a real place?
Yes, Club 219 was a gay bar that Dahmer frequently visited to pick up guys and lure them back to his apartment, where he would kill them. According to the Wisconsin LGBT History Project, Club 219 opened its doors in February 1981. It was championed for its drag show performances and strips shows. The bar is located in Downtown Milwaukee and is famous as the best place to be on New Year’s Eve.
