    Great cocktails and coffee! The only food I had was the chocolate chip cookies and those were delicious!

    Love the cocktail options capital one lounge offers. The food is always different as they rotate their items seasonally. Spacious and usually no wait when I get to the airport.

    Gosh! This lounge is the epitome of luxury for "normal peeps" like me. Free food and drinks and quality service. Yes, the "grab and go" bar is the best if you are one of those "I like to have takeout items", just in case!

    I love this lounge! Capital one has truly struck gold with this lounge. This lounge is almost hidden and think they could benefit from better signage but take a step in a be greeted with their great coffee bar. This is a lounge where you can enjoy small bites along with great craft cocktails. Do not expect a big buffet meal like other lounges but small plates that you can grab. Think it's definitely worth stopping by especially on a short layover or a long one where you can pair with another lounge like we did. The small bites are really great and the cocktails are even better. I do however not like their policy against nonrevenue passengers with confirmed flight.

    My first time at this lounge, and definitely not my last. I highly recommend using the app to join the waitlist, since waits can stretch to an hour during peak travel times (it was about 45 minutes around 5 p.m. on a Friday). The atmosphere: The lounge is spacious, with table, bar, and couch seating. There are also small work rooms if you prefer a quieter, more private setup. The food: Tons of options, including coffee, juices, soda, and alcoholic beverages. There are plenty of tapas-style dishes (hot and cold), plus a great dessert selection. I loved the thin, crispy cookies. There are to-go bags available, and I recommend grabbing a few for your flight. The service: The staff was wonderful across the board, friendly, helpful, and happy to answer all my questions.

    I now consider this my home lounge. The capital one landing in DCA is close, but this one takes the cake. Always a great experience here, plenty of food from hearty items to sweets. Coffee and espresso bar if that's your vibe. Get the bee drink! Does it taste good? Up to you. Does it look freakin awesome? Absolutely yes. I usually find myself scavenging the food and downing a couple mimosas or espresso martinis. Before you head you make sure you stop by the grab and go. I'm attaching an assortment of photos taken from my times here (including DA BEEEE).

    7.25.25 My childhood friends, who are siblings, and I traveled to Japan recently. One of them has a travel credit card so his sister and I got a discounted rate ($46, half off regular price) to access the lounge. Finding the lounge was tricky. I think they make it intentionally challenging to limit the number of people. Lol. The amenities of the lounge included unlimited access to the buffet and prepackaged refreshments, private restrooms, bar, and lounge area. It was a great way to chill and relax before a long flight. I would definitely do it again for $46, but not for $92.

    Came in during the morning before my flight, little to no wait time, but we were quite a bit early and they are strict on the 3 hour. You must wait until you are no less than 3 hours from departure. It kind of defeats the purpose of a lounge as a rest stop for long layovers. I liked the sweet potato with kale. Quiche was a bit dry. Lox was also good. Lovely and pretty parfait. French toast was bland. Drinks are great and my favorite is the cherry blossom margarita. They have definitely improved on the aesthetics. The cups are so cute! Nice cleaning staff.

    This one is with fewer seats than other lounges, but the bars are great. Yes, bars - a bar bar with cute ice spheres, and a coffee bar. The food selection is much smaller, but it's ok. So glad to have crossed this last one off :)

    Such a great lounge! Super easy to find if you have tsa precheck but even if you dont u just go up two escalators/elevators and there are a ton of signs! When you walk in they swipe your venturex card and check your boarding pass to make sure u are truly flying out and within 3 hrs of departing. To your left there is a coffee bar with a huge plethora of options and some pastries including local poptarts which are *amazing*. If you walk to the back theres an open bar with a ton of cocktails, beer, wine, and non alcoholic drinks. Theres also some tapas/ smaller dishes. I went during breakfast time so there was your typical offerings: french toast casserole, parfait, sausage egg and cheese sandwiches and more! I have been told there arent a ton of dairy/gluten free options. I always look forward to coming to the airport early to relax here! Highly recommend getting the venturex but starting feb 2025, you will not be able to bring any guests. Still think it is one of the best lounges esp in dulles. Check it out!

    Omg. Favorite airport lounge. I have the venture C and have not been able to stop by a capital one lounge until now. Definitely worth having the credit card and would be willing to pay. I sadly did get there later at night and only had about 30 minutes in the lounge. although it was close to closing time, everything was still available. Good selection of food (although I ate before this) and drinks were great. their signature drink is the bees knees and I loved it. the glass it came in was fun (see the photo) and tasted great. please stop by while at Dulles!

    What a fantastic lounge. Grab and go bags, a coffee bar, a full bar, hot food. Best lounge I've been too.

    Visited lounge 6-7 times this year. The Capital One Lounge is outstanding! The space is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, perfect for relaxing before a flight. The food and drink options are top-notch, with a variety of fresh, delicious choices to suit any taste. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. Compare to other lounges from Chase this is way better.

Whether or not you have a membership, they greet you warmly and explain what the cost is and the membership benefits are. Once you check in, they ask if you've been in the lounge before and explain the process of ordering amenities, etc. The design of the lounge itself is breathtaking with clear views of the air field and two levels to choose seating from. When you make your way to the bar you're warmly greeted by the amazing trio Angie, Erica, and Freedom. Hard-working lovely ladies that really make the experience 10x better. The lounge is very clean and the food bar has delicious meals that are fresh and refreshing. Overall a great experience before your next flight. Gracias Etihad Lounge for a phenomenal experience!

It is smaller, has less food options, only one shower, only 4 bathroom stalls, and a long wait if you happen upon it during a busy time. Their signature burger was not good here - dry, overcooked, no flavor. When I had it in Boston, it was pretty good, so super disappointing. The service was the same, attentive and professional. Having said all this, it is still much better than most airport lounges in the United States. The salmon and rice they served on the buffet line was good, so I filled up in that. The location is fairly convenient - in A. You can walk from B. It's next to where you'd enter from the airport tram (if coming from C) and when you get off the escalator from the airport shuttle (if coming from D).

Upon seeing my boarding pass, the staff informed me that we qualify to visit the Polaris Lounge instead, a 5 to 8 minutes' walk away, near Gate C17. I asked which will be less crowded. She said they are both crowded, but the Polaris is much nicer. We decided to hoof it over to the Polaris since it's supposed to be a big deal, ignoring the fact that we probably have 45 minutes only to stay there. She wasn't kidding. The place was packed. It was very difficult to get a pair of seats, and we basically were stalkers waiting for folks to leave. Meanwhile, we were sweating from the walk and from the many people inside the lounge. After finally having seats, we looked at the food and drinks selection. I have to admit the food selection is impressive. They have a dining section that is full table service. Then there is a buffet section with good selection of proteins and produce in addition to the usual snacks. I was too hot to be hungry by then and chose only several cocktail prawns plus a few asparagus stalks. After a cold soda with ice from the bar, it was time to leave. There was also a line to wait for the bathroom. Next time, we won't fancy a Polaris Lounge when we don't have the time to stay.

It's big the club, but one location for food options which is quite tiny. I never knew you could get a bagel made for a child. I'm very confident this was sitting somewhere for a bit of time because without toasting it, you would bust some teeth. It was hard. That scream not even in this realm fresh. I'm wagering that other bread items, oh for those seeking danish or muffins, not a chance that's available. On the coffee side why does United ignore a growing segment of the population that either has a dairy allergy, lactose intolerant or vegan? Ever heard of almond, oat or soy milk? What about those little french vanilla cup things? Clearly who ever oversees this club must be the same dolt who oversees the one in Phoenix because they follow the similar path of cream, 50-50 or whole milk. You do get a sippy like plastic cup for the kiddos, oh I mean for adults to drink your soda out of the machine. Finally with all the germ rise and an increase in norovirus and ongoing yuckiness, how about sanitizer like so many biz lounges have everywhere even on the wall? Don't fret though. Because if you love oranges you are in luck. They also use them for decoration.

This is definitely a lounge where you should expect only the basics and not much more. When I arrived, the food selection was very limited and unfortunately they had already run out of several items and did not restock during my visit. The only things available were slices of bread, oatmeal, grapes, bananas, apples, and pineapple, which felt pretty underwhelming for a lounge. The espresso machines were also out of milk and needed service, so specialty coffee wasn't really an option either. The dining area itself was small and felt cramped, especially during busy times. On the plus side, there was plenty of seating throughout the lounge, but the overall layout felt awkward and outdated. The furniture looks old and the whole space could really use a refresh. The bathrooms were another weak point -- they looked worn down, had only a few stalls, and definitely seemed like they were due for repairs or renovation. One positive note: the cleaning staff did a great job. Tables were cleared quickly and used plates were removed regularly, which helped keep the space from feeling messy even when it was crowded. Overall, this lounge works if you just need a place to sit, charge your phone, and grab a quick snack, but don't expect a premium lounge experience. It really feels like this location is overdue for an update.

The desserts are also a sad medley of cookies (Madeline and chocolate chip) that are no better than those out of a box and are not worth the calories. Drinks are just okay. Typical champagne and basic wine etc. with a Bloody Mary thrown in the mix. Will not be coming back, if I can avoid it. Would not recommend this lounge as compared to the others available.
