(I've tried a search and everything was pretty old)

I have a long layover in EWR in a few months and got a PC pass from the coupon connection. The terms state one must be 21 to enter, I will be 19 (but I look older). Do the access ladies at the club check ID? Could I get in with my German passport (I'm traveling to ZRH) and play the "I don't speak English" game?
I really don't have any interest at drinking at 10:00 AM, besides there will be plenty on KL later that day.
Thanks for the help.
