I'll throw you a dollar or 2, but not 18% just because. You didn't do anything other than pour a beer. I know prices are inflated in an airport but $20 for a local tap pint is ridiculous

There is lots of construction and traffic going on, so views are obstructed. Other then that, it is a little getaway from the terminal.

IT WAS HOT and I'm so happy this is available especially a section for the fur babies before a flight. First off the name WOOFTOP is adorable lol and look at that sky!! The only thing I will say was there was a section that says to "keep dogs off grass" but it seemed like a flower section?...why would you make something for dogs and not have them allowed in an area??? Made no sense to me. Anyway, need fresh air? T5 it is across from gate 28. Who knows if that will change post construction ‍

Let's start with the ambiance. Although Terminal 5 at JFK offers few restaurant choices, Jacob's…read morePickles stands out and never disappoints, even when options are limited. The hostess greeted me warmly and allowed me to browse the menu at my leisure without feeling rushed. The seating was spacious, and the self-serve bar area offered plenty of room. The decor and vibe evoked an early 60s charm, though the playlist featuring early 2000s hits was a quirky mismatch, yet, honestly, it grew on me and seemed to add a lively edge to the meal. The menu was straightforward, offering a tempting selection of chicken sandwiches and biscuit dishes. After some thought, I settled on the chicken ranch, it was ready in less than five minutes! The "Porch Sipper" drink was delightful; I ended up ordering a second, as its flavors transported me to open Kentucky fields, sitting on a wraparound porch on a warm summer day, savoring the music and gazing at the blue summer sky. The experience was truly immersive. And I must say, the staff radiated positive energy, they seemed genuinely happy to be there, which makes a difference when dealing with thousands of travelers daily. Jacob's Pickles is definitely a must-visit spot when passing through JFK Terminal 5.

They said "let me check" and looked for what was apparently our waiter. Still nothing. Finally, about 5 minutes later, we ordered. I then watched people sit after we did and began getting their drinks. We still had nothing. Had to ask 3 times only to be told let me check. The drinks finally arrived but another 15 at least before the food. Service was worse than vad and its clear management isnt managing. The staff all looked like they were lost. The food was just ok, not note worthy, but after all that, I didn't care. I was hungry. Then it came time to pay and I had to hunt down someone to take my money. They WERE busy but even with that, they dont seem to care at all. Its an airport. People gotta get in and get gone so they dont miss their flight. Not here.

As a history buff I enjoyed experiencing this slice of history. You board in the front of the plane and can take a look into the cockpit. The bartender is in the back of the plane, and she served me a perfectly mixed double Bacardi & Coke and my friend a perfectly mixed double Tito's & Club Soda. We also grabbed some chips with our cocktails. The only downside was the price of the drinks. If the drinks were more reasonably priced I would have stayed longer and put a return trip on my calendar.

Unlike chase sapphire next door, there was always a mob waiting. Food quality has declined tho. One protein, one carb, a couple salads, and a soup. Generic cookies for desserts.

Although they had plenty of seatings, the chairs weren't comfortable. The tables were tiny.

I highly recommend arriving at the hotel ahead of time and exploring the beautiful location. The hotel is quite a sight to behold- packed with TWA history, designed in that beautiful retro aesthetic, and a lovely reminder of the golden age of flying. Walking around the hotel and exploring the gift shop might have been my highlight. At the pool, they're pretty strict about the timing and the lobby got pretty crowded right before the scheduled time. The pools itself is relatively small, warm, and shallow. We got some IPAs on tap (around $10 each), hung out in the pool, and watched the planes. I was a bit surprised but the overall crowd there. Lots of families with splashing children and people that really just seemed to want to be by a pool and didn't care about that specific location. Didn't necessarily expect so many people to spend money and come all the way to JFK without caring for planes but ofc that's up to them. Just something to keep in mind if you choose to come here. They also don't have changing rooms so you might want to wear your swim clothes or you'll have to change in the bathroom. I would give the hotel a 6/5 and the pool a 3/5. Would love to come back in winter for their apres ski chalet as I think the location is unbeatable.

I would not recommend buying food at the pool bar. It was not great and thrown in plastic containers. The cocktail the bartender made was very nice. Cocktails are $17 each.
