    Very comfortable, cushioned seating.

    Great ambiance - probably the quietest airport lounge I've ever been to (6 a.m. on a Saturday). Fantastically courteous front desk staff. It's somewhat small, and food offerings are lacking (just scrambled eggs, bacon, oatmeal, and some bagels/toast), but it was great to relax here before our flight. Coffee / espresso machine w/ lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, etc. Bar to the right, but too early to drink so didn't check it out. Very comfortable, cushioned seating. Great long view of the runway. About as good as it gets at TPA. Worth it to escape the mele around the gates.

    Above average Admirals Club. The atmosphere was very upscale. The staff very friendly and helpful. The space had lots of rooms and lots of different types of rooms. Private work stalls in multiple areas, a giant screen TV room, a full bar area, and plenty of seats on front of huge window walls. The food was the same crappy food that is usually found in Admirals Clubs, except this one had dried out awful tasting New Orleans shrimp. I spit it out. It was terrible

    The Tampa American Admirals Club is one of their old style clubs. There are some great views of the runway which I really enjoyed. This club has the usual American food except they to not offer the guacamole. Well staffed and friendly service.

    WIFI PASSCODE for 2022: AAVacations Hours are 4:00am to 8:15PM daily. Ignore what the American Airlines app says (it says 5:00am). My picture of the hours shows they open up at 4am which is great for those early morning flights. Located in Concourse F near gate 85, this lounge is on the smaller side, but very luxurious. Plenty of comfy chairs cover the lounge with huge floor to ceiling windows of planes taking off and landing. The food is standard to all other locations. Breakfast options are pictured below. They don't have an avocado toast bar in the mornings unfortunately. Printers are available for use, and there are even isolated desks to work. The bar is stocked as always with usual complimentary drinks as well as ones you can purchase. Overall a really solid lounge with good amenities and great views.

    I have been a member for 9 years. I appreciate that American has upped the admirals lounge experience. I like that they have actual food as well as snacks. I appreciate that you can get well cocktails for free and the staff is always courteous. Rewards programs do matter and when rewards programs deliver the experience? People like me are loyal and spend money to get these benefits. This admirals Lounge is clean, it is a very nice lounge.

    Not a bad Admiral's Club and certainly very appreciated in this busy airport, but it could use some updating. For example, while the seats are comfortable enough, there's a noticeable lack of outlets for charging cell phones, laptops, or tablets. In this day and age, that's a major oversight. Otherwise, it's all that you expect in an Admiral's Club - full bar, comfortable seating, snacks, and free wifi.

    Got off the flight and headed straight to the Admiral's Club. Only about 3 gates down. Very convenient. Once there we were greeted by 2 exceptional premium/concierge personnel, Grace and Sandy. They made check in a breeze as well as offered countless of travel options to the one we had chosen. Their attitude, kind words, motivation and knowledge on flight options was above and beyond any service I have received in many of the Admiral's Club. They took their job to the next level. I was very pleased to see how wonderful these 2 ladies made me and other passengers feel as we walked in. Made the wait plausible. Once inside there are clean bathrooms, limited snacks and different drink options. The attendants make sure it is tidy and replenished! The lounge is full of comfortable chairs and charging stations as well as free wi-fi. Great place to get away from the crowds.

    My only complaint about this location is that it is SO small! While the seats are comfy, the wine is good, and there are snacks, you might not be able to find a seat. Luckily, I got there early before the lunch rush. The plus side is that the employees constantly check on you and the service is really fast! I did notice that there was a lack of charging ports which should be resolved in the future.

    Nice lounge

    It's the people that make this lounge and I must admit it's one of the best looking. For years I have been stopping in here and it's always the same helpful people. Charlotte is of note! It's a nice quiet clubhouse over F85 and free wine and beer is so apprecited. It's never busy and plenty of space, by far my favorite US lounge.

    First time in this AA lounge and it was just like the way I rated it, it was A-OK. Dropped in early Thursday afternoon and I literally found the last club chair available as the facility was very crowded. There are plenty of charging outlets, seats to sit in and limited snacks. On the day I dropped in, all that was being offered in terms of snacks was a small cheese assortment, quinoa salad and the usual nuts selection. Since I was in-between meals, the only thing I wanted was a hot chocolate and that's what I got from their standard coffee set up. The facility has a great view of the runway, is clean and nice to hang out at for an hour or two but since the Tampa airport has decent food offerings, I much rather hang in the terminal.

    Another joke. Closed club because of low flyers. Paying for memberships don't mean anything anymore. This sucks.

    I like almost all of these sky clubs. When at the airport, these are the best places to sit in a comfy chair, charge your phone, and get some tasty snacks. My travel buddy and I went here to kill some time awaiting on our flight, and we flashed our boarding passes and a credit card and in we went. We found a nice quiet place to sit and talk, leave our back packs, and charge our phones. I then, like always went to explore everywhere in the lounge, as I like to know where the restrooms are, private sitting rooms, work desks, drink bar, and last but not least, the snack and food bar or bars, as some have more than 1 food bar, so a lil walking might find you some nice things you didn't even know where there, ha. The check in staff were polite and friendly to us, got us in quickly and easily. The place was clean and laid out well inside, and all was as expected. There are TV screens with the flights on them to keep an eye on your flight if you don't use an app on your phone. The restroom was clean and not crowded at all like they are out in the general public areas of the airport.

The happy hour deals on cocktails are really good, and the drinks were well-made -- we enjoyed the Cosmo and the Dirty martini. One thing to know: make a reservation, even for the bar! We went on a Friday and bar seats were in high demand, so this isn't necessarily a "just pop in and grab a stool" kind of happy hour. We thoroughly enjoyed all the food, but the filet sliders were the star of the show, we ended up ordering a second round. Our wagyu dumplings were a little cold so those were disappointing.
