Something not obvious is that the 3rd beer from the left is by Ghostfish Brewing in Seattle and is an entirely gluten free beer (and their beers don't suck)

Thanks for the images @Carfield. Excited by the aviation themed lighting myself- and of course can't wait to see the views.
Does anyone know if the Boardroom err Alaska Lounge offers tasting flights for the beers yet? Would be a neat feature with so many options

Wifi is great, space is large and beautiful with a fantastic view of the runways. So far, my only disappointment (aside from the predictably paltry food offerings) is the plastic-covered apples at the buffet. Whole apples, wrapped in single use plastic. I mean, really?!?!!

Yikes!! How could you not improve from a single, multi-use bathroom? That place was annoying as you had to wait in line constantly.

Yeah, I understand that it was a temp situation and it was just as easy to go out and use the terminal bathroom. Still, you could only go "up" from that situation.

Oh boy, good thing AS has added the lounge discount to the BofA cards. My wife has a gluten allergy and she misses a good IPA or two more than just about anything else from the once-upon-a-time world of wheat. Even worse, our son is celiac, so Ghostfish is a required stop every time I'm in Seattle with one or both along. Their beer is definitely some of the best in the GF arena - not that that's saying much in and of itself - and the food at the pub (all GF) is excellent too. Frankly this is the best news I've read yet about the lounge. As the silly saying goes: happy wife, happy life. And there's almost no happier wife I know than the one with an IPA in her hand.

FWIW: An employee in a different AS lounge told me sadly that the N lounge is understaffed --- just too big a space for the current number of workers to cover. Hopefully this is just temporary while AS is figuring things out. Meanwhile if I use the N lounge I'll make doubly sure that I don't leave anything behind for the staff to clean up.

No time but the present?
I couldn't see a single clock in the new N Lounge. Confirmed by the desk greeter - who said you can look at the Arrivals/Departures screens for the time.
The view (7/20) was excellent. Food, as expected, standard - but the cases/shelves/etc. are much nicer. About two hours before I'd been in DL's club at SFO - you get what you pay for. I'm reserving final judgement till I see the AS Lounge at SFO.
