Turkish Lounge update: Food quality and variety is the same as pre-pandemic time.
Best of all Baklava is back :D https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2104b249a.jpeg |
Great update; thanks! I was definitely getting tired of the same items each time I visited last year.

Turkish Lounge
Stopped in Sunday from 1615-1645. Lounge was crowded. Food options pretty mediocre especially compared to a few years ago. Liquor situation is abysmal. https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Fl...G_6638a-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Fl...G_6637a-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Fl...G_6639a-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/Fl...MG_6636-XL.jpg |
On the upside, the food selection appears to be a vast improvement to what they have been offering the last year and a half. Looks to be much more to choose from.

In the past, the TK lounge has had Myanmar beer. A basic third world lager, but not the kind of thing you see very much in the US.

Thanks for the update. While not ultra premium, the liquor selection doesn't strike me as "abysmal". Am I missing something?

Hope LH brings back liquor soon!
TK has less choices, but the bartenders have been awesome lately, and remember you now compared to before. |

I don't think I'd use the word "abysmal", and I don't think it was ever top shelf, but it does look like a bit of a step down from previously. The primary thing I notice is no more actual Bourbon (formerly Wild Turkey). I am quite sure they had a nicer gin than Gordon's previously; maybe Bombay Sapphire? At least it's not Fleischmanns, though, eh? :p
I didn't notice the lack of a real bourbon. |

And the last time I was there, the VS lounge champagne was Lanson Black Label. (AF, with PP, has Taittinger.) TK has at the most had prosecco, and sometimes not even that.

Well I was missing something: a decent scotch, bourbon or vodka! Compare this to the selection at the VS Lounge which is accessible via Amex Platinum:
