Escape Lounges at SMF: Terminal A and Terminal B
I was there this week and the Terminal A club just opened. The staff said the Terminal B one should open within a week or two. They're small, but well done so far. Open bar, enough food, seating, etc. I was pretty much the only on there when I stopped in the other day around 6.

I stuck my head in briefly at about 7:30 last night and they told me that Monday (Memorial Day) was opening day. It's strange that the good news wasn't yet on the Escape website.

Stopped by this morning, around 7:30am. Nice little lounge. Not restrooms inside, but they're located just outside. Frittatas, lox, fruit pudding, oats, croissants, bagels, and baguettes on the food menu. Coffee machine was out of order, but other coffee was available, along with water, juice, and soda. Good addition to SMF, but only really accessible from Terminal A.

To answer the question myself, the Escape Lounge in Terminal B is officially open as of today. Staff is super friendly and nice selection of small plates for breakfast. Only drawback is no inside restrooms, but there are some just outside in the terminal.

A is airside.
Other Escape lounges are no longer part of PP (such as the one at MSP), so I would assume that this one is also AmEx Plat/Centruion card or pay to enter, with a discount if you book ahead on their website.
