FWIW - Flagship Lounge Miami is 8am for alcohol (not 7am). I assume the AC is the same.
(This is true for Saturday at least.)

Are these hours in the Wiki really up to date?

I was at EWR a few months ago in the morning post 8am and was denied a drink because of the time thing.

Also, I think NYC liquor laws have been updated so that places can serve alcohol at 10am on Sunday now so the noon thing shouldnt apply to JFK and LGA, no?

Updating: Im at JFK now and just heard the bartender quote someone that drinks on Sunday start at 10am so noon is def not accurate anymore.

FWIW - A few months ago had Champagne at 8am-ish at FFD. FL seemed to open up alcohol around 8:30am.

I haven't updated the wiki because I have no conformation these times are accurate.
(I can confirm the BUF AC does not serve alcohol anymore. Or soft drinks. Or snacks. )

Actually the Buffalo lounge is newly reopened as a Priority Pass lounge with decent alcohol selections.

Great to hear it has been reborn as a non-AC.

Buffalo is a great example of an airport that is big enough for a lounge, but probably not big enough for an individual airline lounge.

8am is the general rule of thumb in NYC airports but sundays have been different and now updated to 10am.

Yes I will be taking full advantage of it, and since it is the old AC its still right by all the AA gates. I tend to fly out earlier than they serve alcohol normally though. But I had no problem getting a drink on arrival last time I flew in.

MIA Flagship Lounge has signs saying that due to local laws they dont have alcohol out until 8am.....meanwhile if you look at the general terminal people are drinking at restaurants and bars well before 8am 🤔

Miami-Dade service hours are 08:00 - 01:00 MON-SAT / 13:00-01:00 SUN for hard liquor. Beer & wine start at 10:00 on Sunday.

Can't speak for other places, but can't blame AA for obeying the law.
