Went out of my way today to fly through DFW to check out the lounge. I really like it here! I really love the peolotons and that they have a clear view of the west runways - I realize that's not practical for most but I planned a 5 hour layover here to check them out, and also my first time trying out a peloton.

It would be nice if there was a bit more of a formal sit down menu, I'm a tad picky eater so didn't try the bibimap or mac n cheese, but the chcocolate au pain was amazing, as was the chocolate brownie desserts.

Staff is very friendly. There is no place to print documents (I needed to print a rapid anti-gen test result I just took), but that's okay. There is a ton of mosquitoes/fruit flies? things on the leaves that have been bothering me all day.

It was fairly quiet in the morning, now it's up to about 25 people or so. It's not not busy, but it doesn't feel crowded. I really like the atmosphere - there is music playing, which most other clubs/lounges from what I recall don't have. The music variety is all over the place - from 70s and 80s music, to something resembling Polka and mariachi bands. Great views as well, it's really bright in here with tons of natural light.

There is only one shower, wasn't an issue for me though. But I didn't like that I had to request the cycling room, then afterwards, walk out all sweaty to request the shower.

I'm really looking forward to the one in DEN opening up. The lounge attendant told me there is also one opening in MIA, but I thought it was IAD? Either way, good if you're an AA flyer. For a United guy like myself, DEN is going to be much more feasible. Please bring one to ORD!
