In June, I currently have a 6h50m layover arriving from NH F to UA Y 
. Since I know I don't have any lounge access due to lack of status, barring an invite from a generous FTer, I was thinking about buying a day pass. Does anyone know which is most likely to not be at capacity restraints and actually accept said pass? I arrive at 14:55 and depart at 21:45. (I'll also try to standby for an earlier flight if there is space.)

Even had free draft beer with some craft options available. Huge perk for me (a craft beer fan).

Few food shots (sorry for poor quality - was trying to work quickly to not slow others down):
Italian sausage was solid. Mac and cheese was ok, though I had some before they brought out a fresh (warm) dish
Brussels sprouts was ambitious for a regular UC, but it worked well. Seasoned well though a bit salty. Cooked way better than I expected (not soggy). Potato wedges were passable (not great), but had a little spice strangely since that would be an obvious choice for kids.
These fell apart from handling/serving but were pretty good.
Would have been better if the bacon didn't seem soggy (I assume from the water in the tomatoes?)
Way better lettuce than the chopped ice berg I'm used to in ORD UCs
Hopefully the cards are legible. Decent options for two soup choices. The poblano tomatillo was quite good, and hot enough for me (I usually eat soup at temps close to melting the skin off the roof of my mouth)
Not pictured:
Dessert - oatmeal raisin cookies and cinnamon/sugar donut holes
Drinks - standard illy coffee, coke dispenser, iced water, tea etc (similar to B18)
As I mentioned before, bar included well liquor, a few choices of wine and about 6 taps of draft beer all complimentary. "Higher-end" liquor options for purchase.
Lounge was crowded so I didn't take pictures of the space. I think some of the blogs have those though so should be easy to find. Let me know if anyone has any specific questions and I'll try to answer. Probably will be back within a couple of weeks.
I was also happy they designed for the ability to re-stock food from behind the counter. Should help the flow and not require the staff to wait for guests to move out of the way.

Definitely better food in C10 club than all other clubs at ORD (except Polaris). Will post (tomorrow hopefully) some pictures from my visit on Wednesday. If I have enough time, I'll plan on visiting C10 even if flying out of E/F gates.

Ok, I have to say this marks a real improvement. And some improvements at other lounges in terms of food has really bought United Clubs back up to closer to European lounges. (closer)

Thanks for all of the photos! Looks like a really nice selection. Hopefully this will alleviate the crowding of the other lounges.

Watch the bread on the caprese sandwiches in the F club. Several 'specimens' feature some bonus mold growth. Pointed it out to the agent and they whisked the tray away. But still...Woof.

New C10 United Club. Is it really United?
Seriously impressed with the new club close to gate C10 with all the food offerings and the modern new look.
What made me question whether I was in a United club was over hearing a conversation with a manager and employee. Pointing at the wraps of varying sizes. “I really don’t like how these are presented. Some are too big, and some are small”
Whether the wraps’ “presentation” was actually fixed, that I can’t confirm 😆

United really is striving for greatness in the air, on the ground, and in this case, in the Club!

Visited the B6 club last night and it was a pleasant surprise to see it not nearly as crowded on my last few trips. Granted it was 7pm, but the signs at the front informed folks of the reopening, so it certainly seemed to help. They also had a decent IPA on tap, so an even better layover.

I do think C club opening has helped reduce B6 crowding. In fact, B6 might be the best club now, since everyone flocks to C10.
