0500 to 2000 now, and no free booze, but it does have a shower.

And, for those saying you get $10 vouchers, I haven't gotten one since the transition to Aspire from AirSpace when using Priority Pass.

They don't do the $10 voucher anymore, you're right. They might have free drinks now though, I don't know I wasn't looking for that, but plenty of people were.

Personally, I considered that a steal, since it'd be $16 here in SF and ordered a double. ;-)

They absolutely offer free well drinks. I think the vodka is Svedka. Some watery beers are gratis too, but a Ballast Point Sculpin will put you back $7 or so.

I was there the third weekend in February as well as a couple times in March and they didn't give the vouchers when I entered with PP. I'll be there next weekend using status on international itinerary so I'll report again.

Sitting here in the Airspace SAN Lounge with an AAdmirals club membership and Citi Exec card. It's packed and not the greatest, although it has plugs, water, ice, and all my other essentials and is preferable to the terminal.

Yup. I was there this morning before the bar opened, which lowers the value even more. But like you said, it’s off the concourse, has wifi, plugs, and water.
Not great, not terrible.
The real issue we had was a bunch of guests trying to figure out how to work the TVs to show the World Cup, and somehow broke all the displays in the place pointing remotes around everywhere. Didn’t seem like the staff cared.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the self-anointed remote-control wizards were all male.

Visited here recently (AMEX access). No more $10 voucher per person benefit but could still bring guests.
Quality went down, too many people, only 1 FD person to check you in.

I went into this lounge (finally) to see it using my Priority Pass, with 2 days left before renewal and 4 of 4 yearly passes remaining. It was less than underwhelming and I left 15 minutes later; would not go back for free. Food offerings are skimpy, seating is reminiscent of a University Student Union, and the place in my view has nothing to recommend it, not even over the terminal.
