I went to the Polaris Cookbook Event they had last year at SFO; they closed down half the lounge and had an open bar and food set-up for their cookbook release party.

Now there's a 5-course dinner paired with scotch being offered at the Polaris Lounge in SFO for 20k miles. Looks like that dinner is for a dozen or so scotch fans here: https://exclusives.mileageplus.com/L...etails/6594227

Beyond UA events, with a venue as large as SFO's or EWRs, would other UA partners or customers be able to rent out a portion for a unique event? Has anyone tried? I can't imagine LAX or IAH would have room to spare, but I'd think EWR and SFO could easily be carved out, especially in between/outside of departure banks.
That dinner looks fun.
