Not great, but not as cramped and sweltering as the Air India one.
If it's super important and there's time, a CapOne VentureX will get you into the Clubhouse. But I don't see what the fuss is about. I'd much rather enjoy the TWA Hotel, and then head to security at T4 some time around 7:30p. Curious what the OP decides.
