CHICAGO, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today announced the opening of its new, nearly 30,000 square-foot United Club location at Newark Liberty International Airport, offering travelers a modern design, enhanced amenities and culinary offerings, locally-sourced art and furniture pieces and views of the Manhattan skyline. Located in Terminal C3 near gate C123, this club is the largest club in United's network, and is opening just in time for the Memorial Day holiday, which the airline expects will be one of its busiest travel weekends so far this year.
"As more and more customers return to the skies, United is committed to delivering a superior customer experience on and off the plane, especially in increasingly crowded airports," said Aaron McMillan, United's managing director of hospitality and planning. "Our new Newark Club location is carefully designed with the customer at the forefront with thoughtful touches like murals and dcor that reflect the local community. This design theme and commitment to creating a locally-inspired experience will set the precedent for future club openings and renovations across our network."
The Newark United Club location features a new design and reflects a modern take on the United Club experience. It showcases many firsts for the club, as well as existing premium offering, including the following:
"The Newark Museum of Art is honored to be a part of this remarkable tribute to our community and our city," said Linda Harrison, The Newark Museum of Art's director and CEO. "May these tremendous artworks inspire and remind our residents and visitors of Newark's role as a cultural hub for artistic excellence and community cultivation. We are so proud to contribute to this exciting unveiling and pay homage to our special city with these two extraordinary works of art."
"Artists like Gilbert Hsiao and Dahlia Elsayed have a gift, which is to make the world new for us over and over again," said Emma Wilcox, Gallery Aferro's co-founder. "Gallery Aferro is thrilled to see these acclaimed alumni of our residency and fellowship program gain a new global audience of travelers with this project."
The Newark United Club location is the first of a series of United Club locations to open with the new club design and amenities. It's part of United's ongoing commitment to renovate and introduce new United Club locations throughout its network and provide a more modern United brand experience.

Last night at EWR there were a number of seriously delayed long haul flights including mine which was almost 4 hours delayed to midnight. There were still at least a hundred people in the PL and they kicked everyone out at 10 sharp.

Yuengling isn't my favorite (by far)...I think I was drinking the Peroni there. I overheard many jazzed about the IPA selections, though not my thing either.

I stopped by for the first time this afternoon. Not a single open seat was available unless you wanted to make a new friend at someone else's table (and I'm not talking about the communal tables – all of those seats were taken too.) There was no wait to get a shower, and in hindsight, I guess I should have just sat in there longer. I got a cup of coffee and a cookie and stood in the library/hydration area with 4-5 other people doing the same thing and then left. I believe EWR's operation was mostly running on time by EWR standards, so I can only imagine how much worse that club would be during IRROPS.

Stopped by for the first time this morning, 6/21/22. ~ 07:45-08:45 EST. Lounge was pretty low occupancy, easily found a nice table with two comfy chairs in the room to the left prior to the main eating room. There were plenty of single side booths, some double booths in the restaurant. Only annoying thing was some human walking around in the room we were in and talking VERY loudly into their cell phone having a ridiculous conversation and just strolling all about the room. Pretty much EVERYONE was annoyed and after about 10 minutes just started commenting on their conversation.. I havent seen behavior like that really since maybe late 80’s early 90’s when cell phone were very new and $$$.
Other than that, lounge is quite a bit nicer than most UC that I recall and with a little upgrade to maybe meals and drinks could do some competition with AMEX Cent Lounges.

The fairly recent change to make all draft beers complimentary in all the United Clubs has been a huge improvement.

Was this announced anywhere? I haven't heard it, and the drinks menu still lists prices for non-Bud/Coors options.

EWR GateC123 Lounge
Hello folks. I have a long layover at EWR next week and I'm being offered the United Club trip pass for $50 via Manage My Trip. I've read some reviews saying this lounge (Gate C123) is pretty busy and they are turning away day passes. Sorry for dumb question but is this Club Trip Pass that I can buy effectively just a day pass, and thus there is no guarantee of getting in the club even if I buy it? Thanks in advance.

A better approach would be to wait for arrival at EWR and make sure that the United Club is accepting passes, then just purchase one of the app.
What time do you anticipate arriving at EWR?

Not sure that is a better approach. It is more expensive and has less likelihood of getting admission. The trip passes are not the same as the Chase passes.

Premium wine?
They dont seem to have the same list of options as the old club. No Rombauer (sad) and settled for theJordan Chardonnay (not nearly as good). Why???
