"The Hunters Club" was a Men's bar near the Greyhound bus station in downtown Milwaukee. They had a single advertisement, in the first/ October 1971 issue of "GPU News", reading "When traveling by Bus Visit 'Fat Jack' at the Bar." The single word "Transits" also appears in the lower left corner of the ad; we are unaware what it referred to.

No other ad has been located in LGBT media. It is unknown for how long the bar was open and catered to gay men.

More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.
