Seen at SFO this week. Note that the "date posted" is 7/21. They're not going to get a license until 8/20 at the absolute earliest (30 days), and it often takes much longer than that (especially since the CA ABC website says there's a form 220 hold, meaning an ongoing investigation). They might need to open on 8/31 without alcohol at the bar.

They had a little party when the C lounge opened at SEA. Didn't get a notice or invite or anything I just happened to be flying that day and walked in. They had champagne, don't recall if they had any special food.

The hoodlum in me want to go write "Pass" under "Priority" 
It is kind of funny that they put that word on the door and you can pretty much just count on confusion and PP holders wandering in and being disappointed.

Assuming an hour before the last flight out, they have LAX timed to close before the last flight out, the LAX-SFO, the lounge attendant said they had extended the closing hours just for that route.

AS employee/retiree web site has some additional info on the lounge. They have added 2 items exclusive to SFO and the Bay Area. A sourdough cart featuring different samples of sourdough bread types with a variety of what they say are savory spreads. And a candy wall that highlights Ghiradelli chocolates and Jelly Belly candy. No PP will be allowed. I’d love to pop in on 8/31 when it opens, but won’t be through SFO for well over a month. Looking forward to reports.
