The Club MDW is small, but it's well run. Landing at Midway around 8 a.m. on a Monday in August, I…read morescanned the QR code to join the lounge's waitlist. The text I received said it would be 15-20 minutes of waiting for one, but it ended up being 10 minutes. Here's my experience. 1) Admission: Using my Priority Pass, I was able to easily enter the lounge after being on the waitlist for a few minutes. The woman at the desk scanned my Priority Pass and then boarding pass. Another staff member showed me where to sit (a freshly cleaned table for one). 2) Space: There are seats for one, areas for two near the window, and longer tables for larger parties. The entire space is small, which is why they limit access. There's a small bar and restrooms. 3) Amenities: There are two areas for food. I went for breakfast. One area had dry cereal with jugs of milk, two different kinds of muffins (chocolate and blueberry), an espresso machine, flavored water, and orange juice. The other section has fruit, bagels and toast with jam, butter, etc., waffles, and scrambled eggs. 4) Service: It's excellent! Staff were kind and attentive. Dirty dishes only sat for a few minutes before someone cleared them.

We spent a couple hours in this club before departing on a short flight home to Omaha…read more This lounge definitely left some things to be desired. I also recognize that our previous lounge experiences have been mostly Capital One specific lounges and those are vastly different brands of lounges I appreciated the convenience of this one, it was very easy to get to from security and then only a short walk to our actual departure date when it was time. Because it's pretty small, I was worried that we might not be able to get in, but they were able to accommodate us fairly quickly. The food that was served during our time there was definitely lackluster though. Some of the hot items were lukewarm at best, and it didn't seem like there were frequent replenishings or items being changed out throughout the day. I'm still grateful for a place with a little bit more peace and quiet to wait for our flight, but the specific accommodations offered here aren't the star of the show among lounges.

Date of visit: October 2, 2025…read more To call this a lounge is a bit of a stretch, it's the size of a fitness club's locker room and is lacking in many of the amenities that you find at other lounges. Given the small size, it can be hard to get in--this was my first visit and third try--and the food options are not great, but I was actually okay with the banana chips, M&M's, and Coca Cola that I had as I had a very long travel day and needed the fuel to keep me awake for another 20 hours! I imagine that once upon a time this lounge fit in with the rest of Terminal 5 in its dowdiness but with the bright shiny new section of gates, this is desperately calling out for a remodel. Staff is a bit surly at times ("Can you put that chair back that you moved?," a staffer yelled out to a departing guest) and do not do any meaningful guest interactions. If you keep your expectations low and have a backup plan in case the joint is full, this is a place to pass the time for a bit before your flight.

Note 1: This is for the United Club's B-concourse location…read more Note 2: Linux users: after connecting to WiFi: wifilogin.united.com. Could not go to any website without going here first. This is my first experience with an airport lounge, and frankly, I could get used to this! That said, while markedly nicer than waiting by the gate, the experience wasn't perfect. There is free food, coffee, and Coke products available. The food involved a hot entree, a couple sandwiches, soups, salads, snacks, nibbles, and desserts. There is also coffee, espresso beverages, and a Coke machine. The quality of the items was adequate. Since airports aren't usually gourmet destinations, I happily devoured everything on my plate. Happy that one is not relegated to McDonald's and can opt for something healthier.a Speaking of which, while you are free to go up as many times as you wish, the plates and cups are very small, needing several visits for those like myself, who have a black hole within their stomachs. Perhaps this is to encourage people to keep their goodies in the lounge, rather than take 16oz coffee cups onto planes. It would still be nice to have larger plates, so I save my steps for the terminals rather than making repeated trips to the buffet... especially since I don't want to leave my property unattended. In terms of the lounge itself, everything was very clean. There is ample seating, and there should be a spot available, but expect to share the lounge with many others. While both the armchairs and [high] chairs are firmer than I'd like, they do beat out terminal seating overall. Also, while not needed by me, I respect that they have "phone rooms" for those who may need to take a private phone call or attend a work meeting. A private room is more for you, though, as the lounge is more chill, without the hustle and bustle of the terminal. Finally, there are plenty of outlets throughout, and the WiFi is faster by miles. All the staffers in the lounge, from those who check you in, to the bartender, to those keeping everything bussed and clean were fantastic! I was about to dust my hands off and leave four stars... that was until I realized that they have an open bar! There's nothing like starting a trip with a drink to get in the mood. Sure, it isn't really free being included with the ticket price, but if I'm already paying for airfare, not having to pay $20 for a small and weak drink is a phenomenal bonus. Last but certainly not least are the restrooms: These were much cleaner and nicer than the rest of the airport. Think of a nicer mall as opposed to "airport." Final verdict: I can now see why lounge access is such a wonderful perk of either non-economy seats or certain credit cards. I love airports because of my love for travel and airplanes, not so much everything else. The United Club is great for making that which stands between TSA and being in the air more pleasant.

As far as airport lounges go, this one's okay The main thing to know is that it is a very-very…read morelarge lounge. The reason this lounge was designed as such a large space is due to the fact that there's a lot of people in here. That's just something to keep in mind as a basis for your understanding. In terms of design, this lounge has various types of seating. They have the more comfortable chairs located throughout the various rooms at this lounge. They also have numerous seats that are associated with tables. This is probably best for people like myself, who enjoyed grabbing a quick snack, and having a drink, before it's time to board the aircraft. They also have long desks with charging ports set up for those who want to get some work done. Plus, there are some self-standing seats spread out throughout the lounge area. In terms of food offerings, they have food buffets on two ends of the lounge. Both of these buffets offer a unique blending of Quick-Food, as I like to call it. Is pretty good. I will say, that I've never been disappointed in what they offer. You can always find something to suit your pallet. In terms of drinks, they have drink offerings at both ends of the lounge, as well, in association with the food buffets. There, you can get your expected soft drinks, coffee, and water. If you want alcoholic beverages, you have to go down to the one end of the lounge, where they have a bar. There, they generally have two bartenders. Each of which is happy to give you whatever you want. They often mix drinks, beers, wine, and all that kind of stuff. Many of the drinks are all free. But, if they are, be sure to throw the bartenders a tip. I think that's an important gesture. Some people decide to sit along the bar while they enjoy their drinks. I guess they are just type of people who enjoying hanging out at bars. I don't find out all that comfortable, or appealing, as you're basically elbow-to-elbow with somebody, you don't really know. But, that's just my personal opinion. If I have one complaint about this lounge, it's the fact that it's not really set up for the first class domestic passengers on United. Whereas, is you are flying internationally on United, they use the Star Alliance lounges that are specifically designed for its first and business class passengers. In terms of this lounge, pretty much anybody can get into it, simply by paying a sixty dollar fee. Thus, you get a whole lot of people, Just overwhelming space, without a lot of decorum. Overall, I've been in much better lounges, and I've been in a lot worse lounges around the globe. There's not much to complain about this place, you just have to expect that there's gonna be a lot of people. I have seen it at times midday, when people can't even find a single seat to sit in. So, just keep this in mind.

Nice smaller alternative with great features…read more This new United Club in Terminal 2, Concourse E, Near Gate E7 is not to be confused with the larger and older United Club in Concourse F, Across from Gate 9. There are four Framery privacy pods. Two with adjustable seats and desk tops and two without seats in a stand up desk configuration. These pods are quiet and have charging capability (1 USB-C and 1 115V). Overhead lighting is fully adjustable along with the front facing lighting for video conference calls. There is also an adjustment for the ventilation fan however I have found that, even on the highest setting, they can get warm. There are most of the same food options as the F9 location but on a smaller scale. There are self-serve options for soft drinks and coffee. In lieu of a tended bar, there is a self-serve bar with an assortment of juices, wines and beers. Like most United Clubs, there isn't a whole lot of interaction with the staff. That said, they all seem friendly enough and this location is clean and well maintained. Would I go back? I've actually been to this location a few times now and like it. So far, it's a quieter alternative to some of the other locations.

There are different seating arrangements including phone booth like cubes for more private phone conversation.

I was here in the morning, so the sun was shining through beautifully (though they appear to have tined windows so the sun isn't overpowering). The lounge was not busy (seriously, there were maybe 3 other people), though it did start to fill up as it got closer to my flight time. There's plenty of seating options-comfy chairs, tables, etc. I took a seat at the bar along the back which gave me a great view of the runway (my favorite!). The food was fine-nothing outstanding but nothing horrible. They did have a decent variety of hot food and cold food, including some Polish items. They also have a fancy coffee machine, which I used to get a latte. They also have a nice bar, and when I was there a bloody Mary station, which was a nice touch. Service was a little slow-there wasn't someone staffing the bar at all times (possibly because it was early morning?), so sometimes I had to wait a bit to get a drink. Not terrible, but I did notice. They had a special for fall, an apple cider mule that was delicious. Overall, a great lounge to use before a long transatlantic flight. It was gorgeous and the food/drink was good.

I had the Spice Apple & Raisins Hand Pies, that was flaky and good, with nuts that added a nice crunch to it. We didn't order at the bar. The orange juice in a carafe inside a small fridge was fresh and good. We didn't eat a lot, as we don't want to have a big meal before a long haul flight. By the way, this flight has been delayed for 5 hours because of a delayed incoming flight. Thank God that they notified us by email and text the night before. What is not so great with this lounge is: it is shared by many airlines, and was super crowded when we arrived around 6:30 pm. The set up of tables and chairs, couches and cocktail tables are very tight in a relatively small lounge. It was difficult to navigate a passage way to the buffet area or washrooms. The washroom stalls were small and not perfectly clean. With that said. I am still happy that we have a lounge to rest before our flight.
