Even on the best day with all 3 clubs open, they are still really crowded, especially before the int'l flights take off.
The C club Near C120 was a mess last week prior to my EWR-HKG flight. They were making announcements to move backpacks off of chairs, coming thru and vigorously cleaning tables. I was alone and lost my drink twice while I went to the line to get a snack.
EWR, IAD and ORD all have crappy clubs in general, IAD at least has TK and if you have PP, you can get to AF lounge, but even then it is pretty bad.

Not complaining or do I really even care about either scenario.
I put my backpack on the floor as instructed, but now the lounge attendants come around and don't see a backpack in the chair, don't look on the floor and clear the table
I was kind of pointing out the irony, hardly complaining

Agree that TK (and LH) lounges are a great option at IAD.
EWR is a pit.

The UC in Terminal A opened today and it is quite nice minus the fact that the showers and cubicles are gone.

Yay! I like the fact that the volume is limited by the debacle that is terminal A. I always enjoyed the old A lounge, and it sound like the new one will be a solid step up.

C120 club. Only one bartender working a packed bar with many guests waiting in line for service.
Pretty crappy.
As I have mentioned before, A is now my preferred terminal at EWR. The least sucky of a bad airport.

The WiFi at C84 didn't exhibit any issues Sunday afternoon and then Wednesday night before then, but otherwise it's the worst club at EWR. Deeply compromised views of airplanes puts it behind the other two, the furniture all needs to be replaced, there aren't enough power outlets, and the circular layout wastes everybody's time.
The UC in Terminal A offers the highest upgrade from its surroundings, but that was true before they renovated it into its current, shiny state.

Walked around EWR yesterday for a bit. Noticed they had the walls up for the temporary United Club. Hard to tell how big the space actually is going to be as it extends into an area behind some of the shops on the right side of the pic.
Also no signage on opening date, etc.

I think it extends the other direction, NOT behind the doors in the picture. It's been up for a few weeks and doesn't look very big. It's there for when they close the C3 club to convert it to a Polaris lounge. Construction on that is scheduled to start this month. I'd expect this new small club to be pen commensurate with that.

I'm at the C3 club nw. They tell me this club will not be completely closed during renovations. It will instead be renovated in sections starting in about 4 weeks.
