I was told the new Lounge will be 2.5 times larger than the existing location and it was hinted that it will be new space. Perhaps things have changed.

Anyone used the Lax lounge recently with a guest? Is it working or are pairs still getting turned away?

If May counts as recently, then yes. The sign (saying "no guests") was out, I inquired, and both myself and my guest (wife) were allowed in.

Pretty much. She suggested we each take a beverage to go (one water, one OJ) to get up to $28. Then, we went to the Distillery

Google shows they close at 9pm, but both the PDX Airport website and the Priority Pass website say hours are 4am until 10:30pm for both locations.

I'm planning on stopping by around 9:45pm in a few weeks so I guess I'll find out how late they are open....10:30pm makes more sense if they are wanting to cater to the red-eye crowd.

AS website shows 11:00 pm, which I believe was true on my last visit.

That's correct...but the closing time question was about Caper's Cafe/Market.

Yes it is listed differently in different locations; I'll check tonight. Hoping at least one location is open past 9.
