A year after, Sonny and Luke Spencer conceived the idea of transforming the old Paradise Lounge into a blues club. Upon the arrival of Sonny's father, Mike Corbin, in town, Luke appointed him as the Maître d'. In February 1995, as Sonny, Brenda Barrett, Lucky Spencer, Luke, and his then-wife Laura Spencer were celebrating the club's soon-to-be opening, it was firebombed. Sonny discovered that Frank Smith's attorney, Phil Cusack, was encroaching on his territory. Sonny handled the situation with the bombers non-violently, and Cusack was subsequently found deceased.
Luke's had its grand opening in February 1995 with a performance by B.B King. The next month, Felicia Jones went into labor at the club, leading her then-brother-in-law, Dr. Tony Jones and Dr. Simone Hardy to deliver her daughter, Georgie Jones. Later that year, Sonny divested his shares of the club to Lucy Coe. The club also boasted an office that Luke frequently used.
In February 1996, an amnesicJason Morgan, flipped a table in anger and left the club where he met Sonny, who offered him money for transportation. In April 1996, Lois Cerullo, booked the R&B group All 4 One for the Ward House Benefit at Luke's. After the event, Brenda was struck by a car outside. Later that year, Lily Corinthos along with her unborn child, was killed by a car bomb outside the club, orchestrated by the Rivera family, Hernando Rivera, to target Sonny.
In 1997, Nikolas Cassadine, was shot in the throat outside Luke's, a bullet meant for Jason Morgan. Jason, who had pre-med training, performed a tracheotomy, saving Nikolas' life.
In 1999, the country band SHeDAISY performed at the club.
The club was last seen in late 2003 and was reportedly closed after Luke regained ownership of the Haunted Star.
In December 2010, Sonny Corinthos and Brenda Barrett returned to their former apartment above Luke's Blues Club to reflect on old times. Sonny revealed that the club had been destroyed in a fire not long after Laura was institutionalized, hinting that Luke might have intentionally set the fire as a way to erase the remnants of his past life.
In 2018, Ava Jerome, disclosed that the Jerome Gallery was erected on its previous location of the club.
When Mike was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Sonny organized a one-night revival of Luke's club at the Metro Court Hotel in April 2018.
On July 23, 2024 (Luke's birthday), his "widow" Tracy Quartermaine finds Sonny on the street, staring at the clubs former location. The reflect on Luke and how he always enjoyed himself. She shares that Luke made up his mind from a very young age to take advantage of any opportunity that came his way. Sonny recalls their last goodbye on the docks before he left for Amsterdam. Tracy won't deny she went to Amsterdam looking for Luke, but admits she didn't expect to run into him at that café. They both agree - he was the best.
