And there is one or more (can't remember which) that allow two guests or immediate family.

As of two weeks ago, they were turning away Priority Pass until 4:45 p.m. Agent at the desk said the restriction usually starts around 2 p.m.

They will admit PP members outside of those hours, including before 2 p.m. I do not know whether they throw out previously admitted PP guests if the crowding becomes too severe during that slot.

Currently restricting PP members until 6:15pm. This seems to be irrespective of actual lounge occupancy, because there is currently plenty of space available in the lounge (much less than half full - only about 30 people in the entire lounge). 
Hopefully this doesn't go the way of the AF lounge where the time restriction is formally published and expanded, pretty much making the lounge unusable for PP members for much of the day (anytime after 2:30pm).

I was there Friday. The line for admittance with literally several people out the door. It was crazy and once inside totally unpleasant - and I came here after going into the LH lounge because seating was an issue on the SEN side. It was around 4pm and I was departing on the SN flight to BRU. There were people on the SV flight plus I guess SK, SA and maybe others from LH, UA, OS, AV.
I saw plenty of PP cards getting swiped too when I entered at 4pm.
This place doesn't have the capacity for these flights and PP this time of day.
There was no seating in the main room or bar area. The bathrooms had queues out in the hall. Even the room upstairs filled up.
If you have a late afternoon departure, I would suggest you not make any efforts to get here early to enjoy this lounge. It's not possible.
