The 1 bartender working LAX at time when the entire lounge is full totally doesn't create a bottleneck line to get something to drink...

Take it easy on me...I've never been in an airport lounge before.
I was gifted Priority Pass Prestige for Christmas, and will be using it mostly in United clubs because I fly United 90% of the time.
Question: Is beer/wine/liquor free in United Clubs? Is there a drink limit? If not free, are prices reasonable?

And being Priority Pass don't be surprised if you meet resistance for entry at some clubs.

But why would I meet resistance with Priority Pass? If the club is listed on the priority pass site, I can't see why they'd give me issues. The person that bought it for me paid full price, and it wasn't given to me through a financial institution as part of a sign up bonus.

Ok, thanks. Not looking for anything fancy. I don't mind Coors Light.

I can't find the thread right now but it has been reported Priority Pass members, ones that PP site says should get in, have been turned away and that some clubs even have signs that say PP no allowed even though the PP site says they should get in. So just saying, you may meet some resistance.

My Club membership expired on 12/31 and I think it's pretty interesting that I haven't gotten any sort of email either asking me why I didn't renew or asking me to renew. The only mention I got was from an agent in ORD mention that I only had 17 days left on my membership last time I was through there.
Seems like something with minimum cost that would at a minimum get me thinking about the UA Club and if I should re-up my membership.

I did not get any email reminders this last summer either. I reupped the day before my membership expired.

United Club Snack offereing change?
My apologies, I did a few different word searches and went back 20 pages and couldn't find this.
When did the snacks in the United Club make a (minor) change? I'm in Denver East first time flying since mid December. Packaged Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, string cheese, better snack mix, packaged Newmans Own Ranch dressing?
When did this happen?

If it's a change, it's not universal. They had none of those at SFO last week.
