T because it is almost always empty, has the same food/booze as EVERY other club, and is new enough looking not to feel like its run down.
I really like the new B but every time I go it feels overcrowded.

I was just in the new B SkyClub Sunday for the first time. They did a great job. I love the high ceiling.
Here are my votes:
Most elbow room: B
Food: E
Showers: F
Quiet: T
I'm normally heading back to DCA which is always out of T so most of my time I spent in T.
I like the SkyDeck, but I find the bar area cramped in F.

I miss the old BE SkyClub in E, even after it was converted to a normal SkyClub. The other club in E was always packed, but few people seemed to know if you passed that club, there was another, quieter club just down the hall. Now it's one big ol' club.
That being said, T is my favorite now, followed by F.

I like the C club. Usually very friendly agents and I like the interior. It's just very different than the other clubs. Does anyone have any photos of what it looked like when it was the Eastern Airlines Ionosphere Club?

Will be passing through ATL on Sunday and have a massive 4 hr 38 min layover to kill. Have only been to the SkyClub in NRT once, and never really bothered with it on domestic trips. Myself and 2 companions each hold DL Amex cards, so might purchase a couple of single visit passes. I'm open to traveling to any concourse, but from the looks of past flights will most likely be arriving in D and departing out of A. Thanks!

Hands down B has the best food. I should have gone straight there. (C was a complete bust--almost no food to speak of.)

I love the Sky Deck at the F club.
I happen to like the D12 club (the former Continental President's Club); it is small, but rarely has more than 10-15 people in it, and also has a very friendly staff.
I share DCAProducer's view on the T club; rarely crowded and friendly DL staff.

Do all the Sky Clubs in ATL have Dom and Krug on offer for points? Sorry if this should be obvious but I'm only an occasional DL flyer and the menus on delta.com didn't show Dom or Krug for any of the clubs so wasn't sure if its only certain clubs that have that. I have a 3 hour layover on a SEA-ATL-IAD flight, in booking I decided to take a long layover in ATL as that itn had the D1 seats on the 767 on the SEA-ATL leg so now I have time to kill and pesos to spend and figured a nice bottle of Krug would be about the most sensible way to kill some time at the club.

As far as ranking the SkyClubs:
F: Skydeck, great food, and showers
E: Quiet room, great food, and showers
C: Best looking/classiest domestic concourse club
T: Quietest very good Ambassadors there
B: Best domestic food
A: Slightly below B
D: Dungeon way below A
D: Closet even worse than the dungeon

F has the good stuff on tap for sure. Not sure about the others.
