I don't know how this would get above a 1. Food in both quality and selection was horrid. Want a salad? Here is the smallest plate known to man. Seating was bad. The only decent looking food was reserved for el alal flights...?? When reviewing all of B concourse - there is like nothing here. Fly another concourse lol read more

Unfortunately this lounge is now part of a larger airline lounge network and does not allow day visitors. This was a big disappointment. Only SAS business + tickets were allowed. My wheelchair bound parents (91 & 93) while they had assistance to the lounge were on their own inside the lounge despite my efforts to pay for admission and assist them. read more

A must miss lounge- from poor food to dirty and disgusting chairs with stains and filthy seats. Rugs that are dirty and stained. One of the worst lounges ever- avoid read more

My experience at this lounge wasn't nearly as bad as some of these reviews. Many of them older. I arrived at 9pm for a very late flight. Food was fine for a low volume buffet and the self serve alcohols were decent. read more

Very tired, sad, uncomfortable, average lounge at Newark Airport. Upholstery is stained, table tops are sticky, lighting is universally dim, not all USB outlets work. This is the lounge that Emirates premium passengers get access to. Such a disappointment compared to the on board experience. read more

Flying Emirates Business Class. Walked in, seats stained, carpets frayed and dirty and curled. Even the lime and lemon slices were old! Basic food and tasty but not overall impressive. Emirates and other airlines that pay to use this as a derive should invest in an upgrade. Staff was friendly but on a Friday night not a lot happening. read more

SAS Lounge in terminal B at EWR definitely completes the picture if EWR being one of the worst airports. Yes, I could have gone back to the United Polaris lounge but only by redoing the TSA. So as Swiss Business class traveler, you're stuck with this one. Its ambiance is reasonable with warm wood colors. But everything else is a joke. There is no enjoyable food. Only junk! A terrible lounge! read more

SAS Business Lounge - Airport Lounges Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I read some of the prior postings about the lounge being small but sounds like there was a remodel two years ago. The lounge is now huge!! There is a small room to the right as you enter before opening up to the large space which can be seen as divided between high top seating and chairs. There is a food area just to the right of the reception area. There is drink fountains and canned drinks. There is another decent sized room to the rear of the food area. Foodwise there wasnt any hot food but that could be due to knowledge of lack of passengers or COVID. They had snacks, saldas and wraps. Food was decent. I was at the lounge the day before Thanksgiving in November 2021 and the lounge was completely empty which was shocking to me as it was the busiest travel day of the year in the US. Maybe it was empty cause no one was traveling overseas? All in all a pleasant experience for Star Alliance lounge in Terminal B of Newark International Airport. read more

Probably the worst business lounge I have visited... Poor food selection and quality. Tables with empty plates not cleaned by the staff.

One of the worse lounges I have ever visited; even the Priority Club Lounges are better. The layout is horrible and it seemed like it was designed by someone visually impaired; not functional at all. Terrible colors. There was absolutely no food. How can a lounge have no food. There was a SAD looking salad bar and everything looked stale and terrible. They had chicken soup sign but the container was empty. So was the Mac n Cheese container. There at least 10 employees, all congregating in the kitchen space, but you could hear their chatter. None of them cleaned or restocked anything. I would fire them all if this were my business. This place is TERRIBLE sand the staff do not care! Shame on SAS. I paid thousands of dollars to fly business and this is just a rip off! read more

This lounge is gross and overcrowded. We paid for business class on Emirates and they use this lounge because they don't have their own. It was so disgusting. I have attached a picture just to let you know what the food was like. There was no room for my family and they wouldn't open up one of the lounges for the overflow. There wasn't a place to sit down for four hours. read more

SAS Business Lounge - Hot dog anyone? - Airport Lounges Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

We had hours before our next flight and were initially happy to come to this lounge which was practically empty. My mom was brought in a wheelchair and had to be dropped off someplace and the attendant was anxious that we pick our seats before the place filled up. My mom had to go to the bathroom first so i scouted the place. The seating is strange- either high tops or hard bench seating along the wall, and further in the back in a maze of seating arrangements were soft reclined type of lounge chairs. Mom wanted to be close to the bathroom and the food so we chose the hard bench seats near the door. The food available were soggy oily warm spring rolls, or toast with ham and cheese slices which i had to ask to be refilled. There was a glass container with cheap chocolate chip cookies. The self-serve bar is set up conveniently for taller strong people to access. The ice is set in a well in the back of a counter with a scooper that is not angled correctly to take any ice out with. There were a few staff on hand that were quite helpful when i asked for help. They were a bit too anxious to remove plates from our table that we weren't quite finished with. read more

Hey you might have read my last review where I said it was horrible but they did some improvements. Like this time when I visited the lounge they were more food options and more seating options. The food was not so bad this time but it was mediocre which is an improvement from last time I went. Overall keep up the great work and I might even put 4 stars! read more

Comfortable lounge well worth the charge if you are going to be in the airport for a few hours. Many choices of drinks and food snacks.

I disliked this location. It wasn't clean and no seats available because of the mess. The employee on duty was rude to the people there who asked if he can clean up so they can have a seat. He also was on his phone. Perhaps that's why it wasn't clean. The food options were tasteless and limited. Nothing spectacular. They did have water. I had a 1030pm flight and it was a Friday. read more

SAS Business Lounge - Airport Lounges Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

One of the worst lounges I have ever experienced- poor selection (or non- selection) of food, cheap cookies and overcrowded cheap ikea-type furniture. For the cost of a business ticket we should expect more. Especially frustrating when you KNOW Lufthansa are so much better just feet away read more

Never have I witnessed such a horrible lounge before! No food options - should just buy from outside the lounge! SAS also has HORRIBLE service so thinking the lounge would be better is really wishful thinking read more

Good food and lots of nice people to watch while waiting for my flight. The room was clean and well taken care of.

Overcrowded except during midnight departures. Probably too many flights departing simultaneously (5-6 pm) to Scandinavia. Lufthansa lounge closed because SAS customers went there to find seats. Food, drinks, and service are ok, but it all matters little unless you can sit down. The atmosphere is rushed, because of lots of traffic in the lounge. Grab a glass of wine at Vino Volo instead. read more

This is one of the worst lounges I've been in. Hopefully it is not a precursor of my SAS flight. Dirty lounge dirty bathrooms. The food selection is horrible; cheap chocolate chip cookies, a nice cappuccino machine that is out of milk, horrible cheap wine and soggy samosas. Total disappointment. read more

I would love to give this lounge 4 stars maybe even 5, but I really did not enjoy my last encounter with the agent at the door. I spend a lot of time traveling in and out of lounges. I've seen some really nice place along with really nice people. I also spend a ton of money for these extra amenities. Airlines are stingy and I don't appreciate that one bit. I was flying business class to Europe via TAP which is part of the star alliance and unfortunately they do not have a lounge and share this SAS lounge as their partner airline. Last year, 6 months ago, I came here with a different agent and she was able to take care of me, I was flying with my mother and brother. Brother did not have a business class seat, but the agent allowed him to stay with me and I appreciated that very much. This time my cousin was flying with me and same situation. I offered to pay first, then we inquired if United's (Star Alliance Partner) Lounge Pass would be accepted. They told me no, thats united's lounge only. Now we'll review the lounge itself. They have a lot of things to offer. Salads, Sandwiches, Finger food, Soft Drinks, Liquor, Magazines Very spacious lounge, did not try to see if they had wifi. If I have to stay here again I will, but not because I choose to, but because thats the only thing available. read more

It's nice. People seem to hate it compared to other lounges. I've never been to a business lounge so my expectations are very low and I'm just happy to be here. read more

As a Star Alliance Member, I always look for opportunities to use my card and relax at one of the airport lounges. This lounge is a great place to relax before your flight. The front desk attendants were friendly and even watched my bag when I used the wash room. It's clean, bright, lots of seating, tables, and places to charge up your electronics. The best part of course is the food! They had a small buffet of hot food and cold salad items; cookies, fruits, and plenty of drinks. There wasn't much that I could eat so I just made myself a delicious salad. If you get the chance, treat yourself and relax in their lounge before you jet off! read more

absolutely the worst executive lounge i've ever been in. i'm sure it's not the fault of the people working here, but this lounge sucks. especially with what airlines are charging for tickets now read more

This is the best thing Newark airport (EWR) has, in my opinion... There are many late night (9-10pm) flights to Europe departing from EWR and if you are flying with European airline, you will probably hang out here. A few kinds of snacks including salad, bread, instant noodle soup and at around 9 pm, a few dinner dishes are served (e.g. mini sandwich, noodle dish). Quite spacious as well. read more

This is an okay lounge..it has a decent amount of space but could use more. The food option seems to be just a hot food and a salad bar and some cookies. It definitely needs some cheese and crackers or some sort of munchie to go with the generous amount of booze. The beer selection is ok, they have a number of spirits for you to enjoy or mix yourself, but the wine is god awful. Bathrooms are ok - there are 3 of them but the line can queue up. All in all it's an okay spot to chill before your flight. read more

The worse lounge I've ever been to GLOBALLY!! Dirty, dated and no class. I could hear every conversation going on around me. No relaxing music. Beverage machine broken, bathrooms unkept, food options resemble those of a hospital cafeteria. Terrible. read more

Summary: Slightly better than the Luftansa Lounge. Both work if you have Star Alliance, you can check and figure out the least crowded of the two. The Lounge: CLEAN!! Better than the those in other terminals and on par with Luftansa across the hall. It's actually adorable, because these two lounges are some of the best in what is clearly the worst terminal in Newark (see Review). Food: Definitely better than your outside options, though not substantial if you're starving. If you are creative, though you can make it work. There is a nice selection of beverages and I quite love a nice salad, bread, and soup, so usually this works just fine for me. The atmosphere: Bright and Scandinavian. And seriously, not that I've become a snotty NYer or anything, but I hate leaving this lounge for ugly terminal 2, and I can't imagine having to wait in terminal 2 without lounge access. read more

A calm and easy going place to spend a layover at. Get some food, newspaper or just rest in the comfy sofas and your flight will be just around the corner. If you wanna go on a spree, there are plenty of alcoholic beverages to consume. Although you might not wanna go totally crazy due to other visitors. They have electronic outlets almost everywhere so you might wanna take the chance to boost your phone or tablet for the trip. This is a nice little oasis in the middle of crazy Newark, and if you got the time, you should probably try spend it here. read more

I was taught to always start with saying what's good. Well... It's a relatively spacious lounge, it's more or less clean and somewhat quiet. But this is definitely no place to really relax and enjoy some good food before a long flight. The "buffet" contains four sorts of bread or cracker, potato salad, tuna salad, one type of cheese and some green leaves (aka salad). Oh, almost forgot the tiny cherry tomatoes and instant soup out of the supermarket container. The only lounge(s) worse than that is/are the United Club Lounge(s). Next time I'll get earlier to the airport and sit across the hall in the Lufthansa Lounge. That one is more crowed but way better and more variety of hot and cold food. I'm very disappointed of this SAS Lounge. I expected more. read more

This lounge is under construction so they've remodeled a tiny corner and squeezed everyone in. It may be the smallest and least comfortable lounge I've ever been in. It's super loud with everyone carrying on their conversations inches from you and there's no room to spread out. It's more comfortable than waiting at the gate because Newark is such a sh*thole of an airport but everything is relative. Plenty of bad alcohol and unappetizing, cheap sandwiches (think two slices of bread with a piece of ham and a piece of cheese between them). And the furniture, though entirely too close together, is comfortable and relatively new. Also, on this particular day, it's about 87 degrees F (actually quite normal in July for this region) and humid and the AC in here simply isn't keeping up. To put it generously, it's balmy in the lounge. This is a marginal upgrade and certainly first world problems but nonetheless as a business traveler I'm really put off. read more

I'm underwhelmed by the quality of the lounge and the offerings. Only cold buffet with limited choices. Cheap beer on tap. Cheap design of the lounge. The only thing going for it is the build it yourself drinks with mid-tier spirit choices. I would not pay to attend if that were an option. read more

Terminal B by gate 60. Very small and crowded lounge. I'm on a 6:00 flight, can't imagine how bad it will be for the 10-11:00 flights. Nice selection of hot plates and snacks. There is no separate TV area so you have to watch in silence. This place just barely beats out the the Irish pub that's available just around the corner in the terminal. It's got better chairs and the food is free. If you want better food and audio with your video experience, head around the corner. read more

This is an above average lounge compared to others that I've been to. However, it was quite overcrowded since plenty of airlines had to share this lounge. I flew TAP Portugal and was happy to have SAS's lounge. Plenty of finger foods and beverages including self-serve bottles of decent beer and top-end liquors. A few Macs were available with internet. The lounge was large and seemed comfortable, although crowded. read more

Easily the worst lounge I have experienced thus far in my travels. Tiny food selection which isn't sufficient if you are hungry and bigger than a mouse. they offer microwave ramen... Luke warm beers. No sound on the tvs. The lounge is packed and with rude travelers taking up significantly large spaces. read more

This lounge is shared between SAS, Lufthansa and TAP and very crowded. Even though its supposed to be a Business lounge the WLAN is interrupting quite often and resigning is necessary. Moreover a request to send out mail got refused, the news agent across helped out and offered more service than this lounge. Might fly BA instead of Lufthansa next time. read more

Way too crowded place, there were just a few restrooms, very slow wifi, so slow that you can't use it for surfing. Not so much food to those between either.. read more
