The food options are better than the last iteration (pre-COVID); basically, now everything is the same as the 74 club minus the hot bean/cheese burrito (pass). At the bar, it's just beer/wine/prosecco, no liquor. No bathrooms, either, but on the plus side, it has great ramp and runway views.
The pop-up in the C-3 concourse is gone, swallowed up by the new United Club construction, so don't expect that to reopen. I really wish they'd open something in C-2; even a pop-up would be worthwhile though I suspect it would get very crowded since there's no other viable option within walking distance.

United club EWR?
Hi FlyerTalk. I've got an important work call I'll likely have to take from the airport tomorrow (unless I change my flight). Wondering if anyone has recently visited either of the United clubs at EWR, and can provide any insight into how busy they are lately / how strong the WiFi is. Curious how covid closures may be affecting things. This would be around midday on a weekday. Thanks for any thoughts!

Are the open EWR Clubs still exempt from entry using the Chase single-use passes? Thanks.

wded they are. I was at EWR last week and there were no signs up at the C-74 club indicating those passes could not be used. At other times I have seen the signs.

My family of 4 is flying out of C138 at 6:30p tomorrow - looks to be the very end of one of the hammerheads and nowhere near the UC at C74.. Forget the overcrowding and mayhem - is it even physically worth it to lug the family down there for 90minutes or so? I’m not too familiar with C Terminal walking distances.
