For those who have been through recently, does anybody know which ATL lounges have the Sweetwater taps working? I believe A17, D27 and F are the only ones open...

Also - are any concessions/starbucks etc. open in the terminals?

The draft beer taps were in operation at the MSP F/G Club on 5/5.

Referring to the original image, I cannot help but to note the bleakness of that empty buffet and how it contrasts so greatly with our experiences at "free" buffets offered at airline lounges and hotel breakfast rooms.

Whether it's this exact SkyClub or any Hampton/Springhill/HI Express, the propensity of institutional-quality foodstuffs offered in unlimited quantities to instigate a literal feeding frenzy must have spread all kinds of bacteria, viruses, etc. via touch-points, sneezing, etc. But we accepted the risks and kept returning to the buffet for more food (and more germs!).

Just an observation, nothing more...

The world is a dangerous place... granted the present virus seems to be more lethal/cause more health complications than viruses past but there was a weighing of cost/benefit that each one of us did when we chose to use buffets / ATMs / dine at restaurants / ride the subway (or an airplane for that matter)...

How disappointing. Back when I was there in February both counters were full of food/drink offerings. That needs to make a comeback.

Currently sitting in ATL D concourse SkyClub. It’s quite busy but likely because ATL has closed half their clubs temporarily. As for masks. It was required for the flight and most folks in the club are wearing one.

when I made the reservation last week the seat map indicated enforced distancing by only being able to select certain seats. Ground truth was another story as we were all packed in next to each other. I assume empty seats are done until demand picks up. Of course we only have two flights going through our airport now so planes are bound to be pretty full.

Now for an important FlyerTalk tidbit. Mimosas in SkyClub are free. I haven’t been traveling in a while so this was a nice surprise

The point of the masks aren't to filter stuff coming in and protect you from getting the virus... it is to help reduce and limit the 'spray' that is projected out while they are breathing, talking, yelling, sneezing etc. If you have a loud talker then they're going to have little droplets coming out also... the mask will catch those and reduce velocity so it isn't being projected out multiple feet. By wearing it you are helping reduce transmission to others.

Haven't been in a SkyClub (or flown) since this whole thing started, what is the current food offerings? I am assuming actual food like soups, salads, hot dishes, dips & hummus etc are a thing of the past?

Packaged snacks only. ATL F has bananas, hardboiled eggs (in individual portions) and fruit cups this morning as well.

I was at the ATL SkyClub yesterday (Memorial Day). It was the one at D27, about 20 people inside. I enjoyed the Mimosas. Snacks were premade and served individually wrapped...salads and sandwich. I was just happy they were open for my 3 hour lay over.

(one of the few dine-in restaurants open).
From what I could tell by looking at the Delta Skyclub website, each terminal only had one club open..but since there's hardly anyone flying, that makes sense. It was weird to be at ATL and not seeing any flights take off or land except for a few CRJs.
