Opened by the man who had previously owned and run The Shack, Club 94 became THE dance bar for the residents of Racine and Kenosha Counties, and northeastern Illinois. Although many considered it more the Friday night stop, and made the trek either to Milwaukee or Chicago on Saturday nights, nonetheless Club 94 was a popular spot both nights as well as some weekend nights, with parking often at a premium on weekends. More than a few Milwaukee residents made the trip south on I-94 on a somewhat regular basis for special events, shows, and contests.

In 2003, Club 94 relocated north a few miles to an area that had recently attracted attention with 2 gay bars, taking over the building of one of those bars and renaming themselves "Club 94 North".

Late in 2005, the owner sold the bar; it remained open under the old name until April 2006, when a "Grand Opening" party was held for the newly renamed Club Icon under the new ownership- and a 21 year tradition in southeastern Wisconsin came to an end.
