UA's press release: A New Star in the Airport Lounge Scene: The United Polaris Lounge Opens at Newark Liberty International Airport - May 31, 2018

I attended the media event yesterday and it's a spectacular lounge, though the configuration is more dense than at SFO -- it's going to be packed in the evenings. Overall, United has done a superb job. The only thing I was not able to try was the restaurant, but I'm looking forward to returning as a customer in a few days.

Still can't believe this space used to be the United Club.

For those interested, here's the layout of the EWR Polaris lounge in a brochure from today's preview:

As noted above, the lounge is packed quite densely, trade-off due to larger kitchen, more restrooms, and shower suites. Overall, very good improvement.

I was there on Jun 1 and I really loved it.
The food tasted much better than the food at the Polaris SFO.

*A gold member flying out of IAH same-day on EVA Business in late June. I'm flying through EWR->IAH first though. Any chances they'll let me enter the Polaris lounge? I know the official rules are no, but I was wondering how flexible they were with that

I doubt it very much, however there is a chance the IAH Polaris lounge might be open by then, depending on how late in June you're flying. The unofficial word is that it will open in three weeks.

I was at the Polaris lounge yesterday morning after coming in on BOM-EWR. Got to kill an hour or there before going to my connecting flight. It's a very nice lounge, and all the employees were genuinely excited about it being the first day. I am looking forward to seeing the IAH one open - I'll get to use it late July.

The lounge looks great and I'm looking forward to trying some of the food but it looks like a truly miserable selection of draft beers. Hope they have something better in bottles.

Poked through pigx5's pictures and found this:

Handles are Guinness, Modelo Especial, Stella, Ommegang Witte, Yuengling, and Miller Lite. Eh. :o Good news is there are still two openings.
