In US, priority pass lounges are usually non-airline 3rd-party operated lounges with the notable exceptions of Air Canada/Air France/KLM lounges. If some 3rd party opens a lounge at CLT, chances are they will accept priority pass.
Priority Pass is primarily a benefit useful outside of US.

The Art and Lounge is right next to the Air Tram so you can easily get on and get yourself back to the UA terminal... it wasnt bad... But I would still allocate 30 mins or so to get back to your flight.

San Jose PP walking tips - The Club at SJC - quickest access is via "A" post security
Just thought I'd share a personal tip on accessing the PP lounge at SJC - closest walk is thru terminal A regardless of the airline you are flying due to where post security ends up... i think near gate 11/12... Once past security all the gates (1-27 including international) can be easily accessed via the connected terminals for boarding.
The lounge is located across from gate 15.
Having flown mostly Southwest and Alaska Airline this year it didn't take me long ditch the security line thru Terminal B - it ends up near Gates 25/26 post security - and just have Uber drop me off at "A" instead.
Of course this only works if you're not checking in luggage via any of the airlines serviced by "B" so YMMV

Ewr/Mia
I don't have UA club access anymore. But I've spent many hours there. I went to the art & lounge at EWR. Very easy to get to and from there from the united terminal.
I'm gonna be at MIA next week at 4am flying united. Can anyone suggest a good PP lounge for united flyers? I also have amex Centurion access but that doesn't open till 5am and it seems far from united.

Complimentary Airport Lounges
Does anyone know the list of airport lounges that are complimentary with the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card? It says they are world-wide, but I can't find a list.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Welcome to Flyertalk. I have moved your question into the thread discussing this benefit. The lounge access is provided by a company called Priority Pass. Their website is here:
prioritypass.com
Note that no lounges operated by American Airlines, Delta Airlines or United Airlines accept Priority Pass.

It's no Centurion Lounge but much better offerings than DL, AA, and AC lounges in general and definitely better than AA and AC clubs in Terminal A.

I believe UA's gates are in Concourse G
If you have looked at Priority Pass website you will know that there are three:
Club America, Concourse F, opens at 07:00
VIP Lounge, Concourse J, opens at different times on various days of the week.
Avianca Lounge, Concourse J, open 24 hours.

I know that there are 3 PP lounge at MIA and where they are. I don't know the layout of MIA and how easy it is and how long it takes to get around. Hence my question.

See here:
http://www.miami-airport.com/terminal_gates.asp
If you will be there at 4:00AM this eliminates the lounge in Concourse F. Depending on the day of the week it may also eliminate one of the two lounges in J.
Even though your Priority Pass membership is sponsored by Chase this question may best be researched in the UA forum because United's minuscule presence here means there is no United Club, and Priority Pass memberships are widely available:

I was thinking of the Avianca lounge at the J concourse if getting back to United isn't too bad. Was also considering the Amex Centurion which opens at 5am if I have enough time.
