Less people, easier access to showers, managed bar, etc, are factors that always made the SEN B my favorite in Frankfurt.

Unfortunately, I don't the answer to either of these questions. I've got a non-Schengen flight out of FRA on Saturday, though, and gladly check at the bar.
I was totally unaware they were able to do stuff like Mojitos pre-Corona. Hope you're not kidding me. I'll try to order a Mojito this weekend for sure!

Yes the SAS lounge in Arlanda has opened again, but with limited service.
See here Are there any lounges open in the Nordics (airline + contract)?

FRA LH Senator B non-schengen is a little disappointing today (and I was here a few weeks ago too).
The cleanest bathroom still only had a little urine on the seat.
And there are a ton of guests holding a glass of water that they've been slowly sipping for an hour, not wearing masks. But it gets past the checks the staff do, because they're "drinking".

I think in Germany you don’t have to wear a mask while you’re sitting at a table

I spent some time at the SEN at B43 in FRA today. It was pretty awful overall.
It was as crowded as pre-Corona in the bar area and the relax/lounge area (basically, the entire back half of the lounge near the floor-to-ceiling windows was crowded). Admittedly, the dining area (or areas if taking account they are slightly separted) were alright crowding-wise and you could find a free table (even with a free adjacent table).
The buffet was terrible. Hot options were a squash soup, some sort of chicken, and basmati rice. No veggie side, green salad, or anything healthy available. The chicken was drowned in brown sauce and had a generic unami taste. Cold options were dry pretzels (without any add-ons), and potato salad and pearl barley salad in individual-size glasses. On the dessert front, there were some turquoise-colored marshmallows and a trail mix. Odd.
Really, I don't mind they reduce the selection but the quality was quite poor. I'd rather have them offer nothing but a meat sandwich, a veggie sandwich, and nuts but in acceptable quality.
Finally, in light of hugolover's post above, I ordered a GnT at the "City Lights" bar. Was offered a choice between Bombay Sapphire and Star of Bombay. Bartender also asked how much gin I wanted. Fever tree tonic. No complaints about that GnT:

In Munich G gates LH business class lounge
about 40% full abs quiet. They have little snacks like the ones shown and other stuff like soup and meat stuff, also the big pretzels. You have to ask the staff at the bar for any drink including water. They do pour well, I got a rosé and my partner a gin&tonic. They also seem to have a special Oktoberfest beer.
