seems strange it would take that long as the old UC used to include what is now the Polaris Lounge so I wouldn’t expect major structural changes…

anyone have more info?
The PL at ORD has a nice looking bar with better bevs selection than your regular UC, but is otherwise unexceptional. Was there this week, and it down my name since the restaurant was busy. Checking back one hour later, I was no longer on the list, and there was no record on my phone of a text. The bouncer (different person than first time) all but accused me of trying to cut in line and took my name and number (again). Thirty minutes after that’s I went over and checked again. I was assured that I was near the top of the list. After pointing to the three open tables and a fourth in the process of being cleared, I was eventually seated. Given the limited amount of time left before my flight, I just ordered the burger and a glass of red. The wine never arrived, and I had enough time for a bite of my burger before running to my gate.

Worse than EWR and nowhere close to IAD.
