It really just depends on the lounge. The A17 club in ATL was getting very busy back before the other A and B clubs had reopened. Any time I have a while in ATL I try to head out to F as it tends to be much quieter. I would guess the non-hub clubs are also much quieter.

I would think they will have to have capacity limits and social distancing with chairs blocked off or removed.

I'm not sure, because another poster on flyer talk mentioned that some passengers were invading her space even though there was more than enough room for them to find their own cubby hole. I intentionally spread out all of my personal belongings across four chairs in the back to help prevent people from sitting beside me. There's a lot of idiots in the world and I guess I always attract them.

I've noticed (before COVID-19) that often a lounge appears crowded when one first enters, but if you continue to the back or to other somewhat more hidden areas, it's empty. Unfortunately this no longer applies in MSP F/G for the area near the old G entrance that once (RIP sadly) was the quiet zone.

‘Twas I (he/him) lol....yes they were laughing and talking loudly and coughing droplets in my area too which was disrespectful...in the lounges like on the plane after each sip and bite I put my mask back on. I ended up moving my location.

LGA Sky Club in Term D is now open (apprantly)
Flying out of LGA this Friday and was reviewing my itinerary to make sure everything was in order. I noticed that Delta is now indicating the LGA sky club open is the one in Term D. The latest DL corona virus sky club update has Term D listed--no mention of the previous usage of Club in C. Also I confirmed the same information is showing in the Delta App.

https://www.delta.com/us/en/travel-u...skyclub-update

I'll find out soon enough but if anyone is flying to LGA take notice. Ironically Delta has switched over to D club while the public bus stop at Term D has now been closed for Construction per MTA.

ATL F last week had certain sections/seats blocked completely (which would be anti-social distancing, but less to clean I guess) as well as certain conjoining tables in the open sections blocked for families. Overall it wasn't crowded though.

It's open. I flew out of LGA term D on Sunday and SkyClub is open. Full bar and lots of pre-packaged food.

Confirming, BNA is open.

Club is pretty depressing now though. All the windows are gone, and the expansion has been put on hold. So it is a bit stuck in limbo. But still thrilled it’s back.

And, the schedule at BNA is finally respectable again after being down to as low as just 5 flights a day before.

How is alcohol being served nowadays, I'll be there in a couple weeks. The last time I went through it was self serve which I imagine is an issue with the virus

Didn’t notice as it was early in the morning. But I have never seen self serve alcohol at BNA - it has always been served from the bar IME. Coffee was all out and self serve though. FWIW, LAX T2 has been doing self serve alcohol throughout COVID though.

DTW, which has always been self service for alcohol, actually had a bartender inside a roped off area by the alcohol and signage indicating masks were required at the serving station. This was this past Friday.

Some of these differences must be due to local COVID-19 regulations, just as some places forbid alcohol to be self serve.

Judging by how bad the concourses at BNA look right now with all the stalled construction I imagine being anywhere else is a relief.

The only club I've been in since March that has self-serve liquor, wine and tap beer is LAX T2. As you indicated, DTW has bartender service because of the local COVID regulations.
