Still using the roped off area as of April 13th. This is laughingly called the PAGSS 'lounge.' These are the same people who operate some comically bad lounges at NAIA in Manila. There may have been some minor improvements. I think I saw actual glasses. But it's still a silly small selection of drinks. The average deep countryside gas station store will have a better selection. No beer or wine. And the postage stamp small area gets jammed even though there's just the QR flight using it. Pretty shabby considering that this terminal has been open for over a year now. Luckily I had AMEX access to the Plaza Premium Lounge, which Emirates and most other airlines are using. Even with the EK flight leaving soon there was ample vacant space. The food not great but at least had a few options. Some beer and indifferent wine. Qatar should switch to this lounge and let PAGSS go on floundering.
