...is there a max time limit to stay in the PC? I understand that some lounges have a 3 hour max limit.
The time limit for a PC depends on how long you can stand the stale pretzels and potato chips, tip-mongering bartenders, Stalinist furniture, insufferable snobs, and the oppressive hush of excruciating boredom. Enjoy. :D

They can't serve until 9 or 10am, though I don't remember exactly when. I do know that I've been denied a much needed bloody mary prior to a morning flight.

Thanks. I am looking at the PP book about lounges at EWR. They list 6. 3 are PC, first at terminal A, at C75, and C120. So I am assuming that you are talking about the last one, between gates 120-139. The other lounges are united red carpet (Term. A), delta crown room (Term. B) and northwest worldclub (Term. B). Which is the best that you prefer? We will be using the lounge in the morning from 7:30 AM to around 1 PM. Which lounge should I go to? (This is my first time in any lounge). Primary considerations, a little breakfast in morning, free entry for my kid under 2 and something to keep her busy, good broadband internet as I will have my laptop with me and free booze after noon.
If you're in Terminal C your only options are the two listed as C75 and C120. You can't get over to A unless you're ticketed to fly to/from a flight there, and you can't get in to B at all. Breakfast will be "bagels," muffins and some fruit. They may have the granola bars out on the bar as well. At some point they put out cheese and crackers. Don't depend on it as a meal and you'll be fine.

I prefer the C120 lounge because it has big windows and I like watching the planes, though C75 is generally less crowded as noted above. The only crowd you're likely to encounter in addition to normal members are the NRT/HKG/PEK flights, as most the other BF flights are later in the day.

And the broadband has been pretty bad as of late, though it is free. There is another thread about that on here somewhere.
