I can only speak to MSP F/G in the late afternoon and evening time. Self-serve soda, coffee and espresso. Full service bar. Beers on tap are Michelob Ultra, a mango blonde beer, and I believe an IPA. All pre-packaged foods. The items I seem to remember from recent trips (which hasn’t seemed to change much) include:
  • Two sandwich varieties (don’t recall what kind but I didn’t really care much for either)
  • Kale Caesar Salad
  • Chickpeas
  • Ramen (pro tip: only peel back the top enough to get water in and don’t leave the fork in the hot water—it will melt!)
  • Hummus and Ritz crackers
  • Snacks same as on board offerings (Cheeze-its, Granola bar, Biscoff)
  • Bananas (and maybe another fruit?)
  • Cookies

I’m usually able to make a light meal out of it but if you are looking for something more substantial, Stone Arch restaurant just outside the F/G club has been a favorite of mine ever since it opened. I’m not sure if their menu remains pared down as it was this spring, but their breakfast, lunch and dinner menus have always been excellent.

The MSP F/G club has been surprisingly full in recent weeks—not sure if that will die down now that we are past Labor Day. I’d estimate the club being about 80% as full as pre-COVID as of recent (though they are down to only one club at MSP right now).
Were premium drink offerings (particularly the champagnes) available for purchase at the bar? I have a lengthy layover at MSP in a week and want to burn some SkyMiles on some bubbles. Cheers!

We were there between Christmas and NYE, flying home, and also loved that SC. Great artwork, too!

In the MSP club now, and premium drinks are on the menu! I also double checked--there are a few bottles of Veuve and Dom in the fridge for whatever your persuasion is... Cheers!

Honestly next time I have a 3+ hour layover I’m doing a bottle of Dom for 10k miles. Gotta pregame before the DL flights these days anyway. Might as well do it properly.

Still one of the best values for Skypesos available!

Gotta have something nice during the DL experience these days.

I mean, if I’m not going to be eating or drinking anything on the plane, I may as well make it so I can pass out in a domestic F seat without drinking four mini-bottles of iced Estero Cabernet. Never been able to sleep in domestic F without being drunk or going on 24+ hours without sleep, and even then it’s really more of just a doze every few minutes.

Are they serving it in plastique kristel? Or in a real glass? From the beggars can't be choosers department, I'd still probably rather drink it right from the bottle than from disposable beverage ware.

What's with the "complimentary......with your DL SC membership" language? Does this mean that passengers/customers who enter with a DL Reserve card, AmEx regular Plat/Centurion charge card, international D1 ticket, etc. don't get any free alcohol now?

99.99% sure that's just sloppy wording and there's no difference once you're inside the club.

Hahaha, I’m not above drinking it right out of the bottle. But in the SCs they have had actual glassware at the bar.

Yep. I enter with Amex, same complimentary bar.

Its just verbiage on the sign... they aren't checking at the bar what kind of access you used before making a drink.

The only thing that is in plastic is the self-serve soft drinks.
