    Hummus, pita, salad, water
    Dawn L.

    I decided to check out The Club BWI which is the only airport lounge at BWI. It is hidden at Concourse E 10. It is inconvenient to any Concourse but E. If your plane leaves from A-C, you will have to leave E and go back through security again. The lounge is very small. There was salad and hummus and soup. There are some snacks like popcorn and candy. The ambiance is "compact". BWI airport can do better. There needs to be a lounge at concourses A-C. The Denver airport lounge is so much better than this.

    This is not the biggest lounge, it doesn't have the largest selection of food, and the vibe is a little like a basement conference room at a budget hotel, but it is a very pleasant way to spend some time while waiting for your flight. The breakfast bar was small, but still had several hot options in addition to bread products and fruit, and the coffee station included several flavored syrups. I can see it being hard to get food or drinks if busy, due to the layout and size, but when we were there early morning, it was very quick. It is located next to gate D8 and the Dunkin Donuts. Also, the bar opens at 6am, if you're into that.

    Truly, Bubbly, Heineken
    Elena N.

    Date: Friday, October 24th, 2025 Time: around 6pm Party of: 3 Entry Granted Thru: Priority Pass We had a little over an hour to kill before our flight. This lounge was on the way to our gate, so we decided to drop by. There was a waitlist when we arrived so I signed up. Everyone who signed up around the same time got it at the same time. This lounge is small. And it's one of the more bare bones lounges I've been to. We didn't check out the food area since we had just had lunch. But my friend and I went to the bar and grabbed a drink. I got a Truly and a glass of bubbles. He a Heineken beer. I believe his dad grabbed a soda and a coffee? Since my boarding group started shortly after we got into the lounge, I left after I had those two drinks. Friends stayed a little while after. If you have some time to kill, this isn't a bad free option with certain passes. But there are much better lounges out there if you have a limited number of visits or are considering paying. REVIEW #3897

    This place as gotten very popular now which means busy. The staff and still awesome and so friendly. Its menu/drinks seemed to have tightened up but for a priority pass accepting lounge you can't complain. It's good enough for a quick small snack and a basic drink. Plenty of seat but there can be a wait, I was happy that they open early so I could stop by before my 6 am flight.

    A few mimosas.
    Christopher S.

    The people that work here are awesome in the location and convenience is worth noting. The food was decent enough, but I would have liked there to be a larger selection of food options. All in all this place was clean and there for me when I needed to have a few mimosas before my flight.

    Jazz T.

    The previous reviews are NOT wrong. This place literally has nothing. They only offered sodas, coffee and water early in the morning. Where's the juice? And the soda was off brand Shasta at that. The food selection was the bare minimum: bagels, mini muffins, yogurt/granola and mixed fruit. The bar didn't open until 6am. The lounge itself was small, very small. It's disappointing that you have to have prestigious cards to enter and this is what we get. Not a fan of this location at all. The previous reviews weren't wrong. I gave it 2 stars because the staff were friendly, I really liked my bartender and it was clean.

    Muffins and cheesy scrambled eggs
    Ana S.

    You need to try the cheesy scrambled eggs here (if that's what they're called). Selection is a bit limited, but for a free post-flight meal that was an accidental finding, I am not complaining. Shoutout to Priority Pass for the free breakfast.

    Dining area
    Anita T.

    As far as airport lounges are, this one is very mediocre. But it's better than sitting at the crowded gate if you've got a longer wait. It's small without a lot of tables or chairs, but we did find a table up front. The food was as expected...like a college dining hall. Coffee was good and hot. Someone was sitting up sleeping at a table, so it's possible to rest although there aren't loungers like some of the nicer clubs. Small restrooms, but I opted for the big ones right outside the club in the terminal. We passed 30 mins here before catching our flight.

    No juice at breakfast
    Sherprina L.

    The bad - Small, crowded, not clean, lack of food selection, broken dirty bathroom The good - friendly staff, from the door, bar to others. Next to the Spirits gate which was very convenient for me!

    Keisha H.

    This lounge is definitely cozy in comparison to other lounges. I came basically right when it opened so getting in and finding a seat wasn't an issue. However, upon leaving I could tell it was filling up quickly. My suggestion would be to use the "pre-book" feature in your priority pass app if possible. The breakfast selection wasn't expansive, but it's better than nothing. However if you're very particular you may not want to rely on having your breakfast here. I was satisfied with the oatmeal I made and the girl picking up plates was nice. On my way out the woman wished me safe travels. So I encountered friendly customer service even at 4AM. SAFE TRAVELS!

    Food and bar section
    Gi S.

    Located next to D12 gate at BWI, this pretty basic small lounge can be accessed via Priority Pass membership. We got in around 9:30am on Saturday and it was mostly empty. Breakfast offerings consisted of scrambled eggs, ham cubes, salsa, cheese, bagels and mini muffins. Drink options consisted of canned soda, drip coffee, fellow tea bags. Alcohol was available at the bar. There were 2 stalls in the ladies room and no showers. As I said, no frills, basic, but it does the job.

    Rumit P.

    I've experienced this lounge several times. Today was the most recent. The staff at the front desk and the ones behind the bar ware so unfriendly and downright rude but my credit card offers free access and I wanted breakfast. The selection is limited (eggs, oatmeal, bagel, fruit, cereal), and the orange juice you have to ask for. They don't leave it accessible. The food is subpar, not fresh or enjoyable. It's also a crowded space where they set up all the food. The ambiance is okay. The seating is comfortable and semi-private. There are plenty of outlets for charging devices. There's a TV that lists upcoming flight departures and gate numbers. If you have free access, worth stoping by. If you have to pay, avoid. There's a Dunkin' right next door.

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).

The welcoming front desk advised us to find seating in the section behind the elevators, which featured a huge fireplace, a living room-like atmosphere, and huge floor to ceiling windows looking out over the airport. On this side, there was a fridge with some fruit and yogurts, plus a drink counter with sparkling water taps, teas, and coffees. On the other side is the bar, bathrooms, more seating areas but mostly tables and chairs, and the food. So we walked back and forth from each section, but preferred that to being in the busier part. We found 4 comfortable chairs facing each other and ended up at times sitting on the rug in between playing board games. The bathrooms were pristine, and my kids loved the cherry blossom display next to the door.

You may only use this space for 3 hours prior to flight departure. Not for any arriving flights. Complimentary access for Capital One card owners. Entry fee for non card holders (maybe $90?). Wait times are long as they sometimes cannot keep up with demands and limited seating areas. Sign in at the desk and you'll get a text when they have space. I waited 45 minutes. The check in area feels cramped with two podiums and way too many checkin staff crowded at the front. Once you get a text, you have 10 minutes to arrive or you may have to sign up again. Once checked in, you have an assigned seat based on size of your party. So you won't have a choice on preferred seating section. Once seated, scan the QR code on the table where you may place an order for any menu items including drinks. They also have an area with quick item snacks like cheese & crackers, hummus, veggies, meats and you can obtain your dessert items here. They offer fancy teas from Art of Tea and coffee. Paper cups available if you want to take a drink to go on your way out. Soft drinks & water available in the mini fridge. I tried the vegetarian and vegan options. The lentil soup was good and filling. Three cheese grill cheese is good but a bit too much cheese making it heavy. Also tried a rice with tofu & avocado. This was okay. Needed a sauce or some added flavor. My guava mocktail was refreshing. Hummus & veggies were good. The soft serve with cocoa nibs & sea salt was good. Comes in a cute smiling cup. There are no to-go items or take away options. So plan on staying seated to dine. There is free WiFi, charging stations at your seat, and single restroom available. I hope they add more healthy options. *** Tip - if there is a long wait time and you can't get in, they have a small cafe of quick items for sale. With a Cap One credit card, all items are half off! I got the vegan chickpea salad and a Pressed juice for roughly $12? Good deal at the airport! Coffee, croissants, and some of the items from the lounge are also sold here.
