I've been to the Admiral's Lounge at ORD (and many other airports) over a hundred times and…read morerecently when at ORD I was able to visit this Flagship lounge for my first time. The first impression was nice, calm, and professional in appearance. The seating was nicely laid out, plenty of different areas. I absolutely loved the library-esque atmosphere, THIS is what a lounge is supposed to be... not having kids running around, yelling, horseplaying, annoying guests. There were kids and they were well-mannered. They have a champagne and wine bar here - though not as nice as many other first class lounges, it was a nice offering and the brands were very nice too. They also offered a fun bloody mary bar which was self-service. This was really interesting as they offered so many things one could put in their bloody mary. Food here was tasty... the eggs were amazing. They offered an omelete station too. Overall, it was a nice visit.

We had the opportunity to visit the Flagship Lounge in terminal 3 at O'Hare before a long flight…read more To enter, you must enter through their security where you need to show either a Business Class for First Class boarding pass - without one you can't get in. When you get past the security, you enter a good sized lounge with plenty of food and drinks. Interestingly, every food item is labeled and the labels let you know about any allergens in that item. They also have a stocked bar with various liquors as well as beer and wine. Everything was good. I tried everything I could so the list is long and, frankly, I don't remember everything I ate. All I can tell you is the food was very good. There is plenty of seating, so unless they have a lot of flights going on, you can find a seat. The seating was comfortable and we took a table by the food which we frequented... The wine selection was much better than I expected and I enjoyed some Pinot Noir. This was a great experience - one we don't take advantage of often. So, what I can tell you is it is much, much better than sitting at the gate. :)

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.

However, they do close at 9:00 p.m: normally but they will extend the closing time if there are delayed flights and this is what we experienced. There is a main bar and a speakeasy type smaller bar that I prefer to go to. The shower rooms are excellent and very clean and are maintained very well. So enjoy the food, the drinks, the wait (you won't mind waiting for your flight). Thank you to Charlie B. For coming out and greeting us on this visit!! FYI, the Polaris at EWR is just as equally nice. But that's another review. :)

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.

My advice to you now then getting back to the club. I'm in the C concourse and I need to say that this is one of the busier locations. But they are very organized and that is the main thing.

Which made it a little disappointing when we were asked to move about ten minutes later to accommodate a large group that came and expected 15-20 seats. The cocktail menu had a good variety. I ordered a dirty martini, which was fine but not something I would seek out. The olives were standard olives and, maybe I'm a snob, but I kind of expect a blue cheese or garlic stuffed olive at a place where I'm paying $16 for a cocktail. For my second round, I got a vodka soda, which was exactly what I expected. We ordered french fries and truffle fries, both of which came out quickly. They were crispy and hot, a solid pairing for a dirty martini adventure. I'll definitely come back - I might stick to wine or a more basic cocktail next time - but I loved the vibe.
