Located near Gate 5 is what can best be described as a soda/coffee/snack lounge. It's quite…read morecomfortable and normally very quiet, but is only open everyday from 7am-5pm. It costs $10, but considering sodas cost $4.25 and snacks are $2-4 at the gift shop , it's probably worth it for me. It's not what you're used to at a typical airport lounge. With limited hours, No booze, food (other than snacks), or bathroom, it can seem disappointing but it's a fraction of the price of a typical travel lounge.

I recently flew out of Charlottesville back home to Atlanta. While I waited for my flight, I…read moredecided to grab a breakfast burrito and a drink at the ONLY place to eat in the whole airport. At first I was going to order a rum based drink but the "bartender" who also served as the cashier for the restaurant part told me they didn't have any pineapple juice-an ingredient that would have made the drink pop. So against my better judgment, I decided to order an old fashioned. Now before anyone comes for me and says that doesn't go with a breakfast burrito and why would you get that for an afternoon flight? You're right I should have not done this because it was by far the WORST old fashioned I have had in my LIFE! But did I listen to my gut to my better self?? No! I foolishly ordered it. Another bartender comes over and asks the cashier/bartender if she wanted to learn how to make one. Now side bar, I'm a bartender too so I know how a good or even decent old fashioned should be made and taste. Which is another reason why I shouldn't have ordered it from an airport dive bar, if you will. Anyways, as I am watching him make it and "teach" his coworker how to make it my flabbers were gasted!!! He grabs an orange slice and maraschino cherry from the fridge and puts it in a rock bottom glass. He then dashes a few bitters in it and grabs some sugar and pours it over the fruit. He grabs his muddler and muddles those ingredients together. I'm speechless. He then adds ice cubes not an ice block or sphere and adds the bourbon. Now pause, if he'd stopped there I would have classified the cocktail as a mid level drink. Not great but meh. I would have said well technically it's the traditional way to make an old fashioned. But nooo he does not stop there! He then takes the drink, holds it under the soda nozzle and pours CLUB SODA on top! I clutched my proverbial pearls!!! I do not know if this is the regional way to make OF's but this was absolutely abhorrent! But what made it worse besides me not saying hell no I don't want that was the price-TWENTY-ONE dollars and 63 cents!! I deserve to be slapped for paying it and most importantly not sending it back. Needless to say, I swallowed the subpar drink, paid for it and vowed that I will never allow someone to serve me something I know is made incorrectly and two never order my favorite cocktail from the only bar in a small town airport. Lesson learned for sure!

Plenty of seating for this tiny airport (it is the only bar/restaurant in the airport). My only real complaint about the bar? The food is pretty terrible.

This airport does have a balcony that you can step out onto to get some fresh air, but there's no smoking. But there are tables and chairs, so you can eat outside and watch the planes come in. The Charlottesville airport also has a nursing room, and a lounge (but I'm not sure who it's for), and lots of chairs with outlets. They have more outlets here than people, probably, so you'll find somewhere to plus your stuff into. It's an easy get-in-get-out airport.

Not sure if it was a staffing issue but on my return flight, one of the security checkpoints was closed so we had to walk pretty far out to get through and then walk all the way back to where our gates were, not to mention that TSA was taking especially long that day too. That was a bit of an inconvenience, but I tend to come early to the airport so it's not usually an issue for me. Were I in a rush though, I probably would've been pretty stressed. All in all, typical airport, typical food offerings, decent gate area.

Luckily I didnt have to wait either time. It has really nice decor and an additional upper level with seating. For the most part it is quiet and a nice lounge to relax in preflight. They have a small buffet with food oprions ans an additional menu where you can order some specialized food dishes. I don't fly out of Dulles often but when I do I definitely plan to take advantage this lounge.

The Capital One is one of my favorite as they also have good coffee and a take away section. Food is good here.
