* it has an open bar, you can serve yourself as much alcohol as you want (within reasonable lines, of course)
* has a soup of the day. Usually asian specialities.
* It is very quiet. People are very respectful and there's not a lot of noise. However, it may get crowded sometimes, when there's a lot of flights
* The only food you can get are snacks and pastries. It makes it perfect as a breakfast lounge, but later in the day when you want to have real food it doesn't help much.

I hope these are useful and that someone can compare to the United Club. G'luck!

Agree 100%. I spent 15 minutes trekking out from the C gates earlier this year when I had time to kill. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE TIME!

Yes there are free drinks so an alcoholic might feel more comfortable here. But the food is actually worse than UCs (hard to imagine) and the space was tight with a lot of aromatic travelers.

Would stick with the UCs, mediocre as they are.
