Wow! Is that because of Covid? Can you still self-serve wine and beer? or is alcohol not served these days (or served by attendant)? Is the fridge still open to grab soda or water?

It’s all self service and there’s plenty of beverages of all kinds. Just very little food.

I'm currently in the ORK Aspire lounge which has had a very considerable upgrade since last time I've been (pre-COVID).
Offerings include:
Offerings include:
- Full complimentary bar – soft limit of 2 alcoholic drinks per person. Guinness and Heineken are on draft, everything else is bottles.
- Barry's Tea or fancy tea, coffee machine
- Post-mix drink dispenser (self service) for Pepsi Max/Diet, Tango, and 7Up
- Choice of juices and sparking/still water
- Other soft drinks such as Fanta Lemon as well as mineral water behind the bar
- Hot food! Mornings it's Irish breakfast, pastries and cereal, rest of day a choice of 3 dishes – at the moment it's 3 Bean stew, chicken à la king with rice, and red pesto pasta.
- Soup and bread
- Cheese, salads, and crackers
- Nice cakes of the sort that are €3 over in the food court
- afternoon tea: scones with jam & cream
- Taytos

I've only been there a couple of times since it re-opened, and not since June, but I've not seen any dishes other than those you mentioned!

Got an email, which I’ve never gotten before, saying I have to print it to access lounge in outstation (MUC). Will they accept a scan of the barcode? Not sure I’ll be able to print it off.
Is this new? Used lounges in LIN and FCO in March/April and it was boarding card only and no problem.
