Interesting. Wonder if they received negative feedback that caused them to change it up.

So, no beer, nothing?

I wonder if it's not a situation like DTW where they're staffing it and having someone serve you?

Yes, that is correct. It is an ad hoc staffed bar (more like a table) now like DTW. Sorry for not being clearer on that point.

The set-up is like the others. Mostly packed stuff. The bar was open (too early for me).

10am on a weekday. I’m the only passenger here...
Thanks for posting this, was wondering what the deal was at BNA for my flight this weekend.

That's what I figured, but thanks for confirming.

I assume the same will be true in ORD when that club reopens.

It's been a long time coming, but the RDU Airport Authority reports in their email newsletter that the RDU SkyClub plans to reopen September 3.

Any recent experience with MSP? Per the wiki the F/G Club is open and I will have a 3.5 hour connection there on Monday afternoon/evening. (Scrolled through the thread and didn't see any reviews within the last month or so.

Would have to purchase a single entry with my DL Plat Amex card (don't mind doing so as I normally do, but want to make sure it's justified during the reduction of service). Would enjoy some quiet space to work on emails for about an hour before having a few drinks before a long 6 hour flight.

Also, will be originating in MIA. I see it has opened too, but would rather save the Club visit for the connection unless MIA is drastically reported to have more offerings than MSP currently.

I wonder why LAX has gotten rid of self-pour wine at the bar, but DEN has not. Or has DEN changed recently, too?

Liquor and health laws vary in different cities/counties/states.

Was there this past Tuesday. Bar was open (single bartender).

Packaged and cold foods - nothing hot (the ops guy told me that it was a local restriction re: serving hot food).

Small sandwiches, salads, etc. Hopefully my pics work.




Tip: sandwiches are kinda dry. Condiments on the counter next to sammies.

I would be curious to understand why the local government believe serving cold food is safer than serving hot food.

Yeah, no clue there. Maybe can't figure out how to do pre-packaged/individual-serving hot stuff?
