Technically avios redemption tickets should include lounge access. However, when QR doesn't have any agreements with the contract lounge in certain outports, lounge access is not the case. Sometimes meal voucher will be given upon check-in, or check-in staff will refer you to other lounges that are operated by any airlines in OneWorld.
I remembered there is one before covid, but QR "scrapped" that when BHX flights got cancelled from April 2020. Contract lounges has not been reinstated when BHX flight is operated again.
No offence, but what on earth are you talking about?

OP literally said they visited the lounge on account of their frequent flyer status, so apparently in this case they were wrongly denied access on account of their J ticket.

Secondly, the lounge search on the QR website has long been regarded as out of date.
