    Free made to order items including tomato soup and an egg and cheese sandwich
    Abby S.

    The service here was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. That's definitely the highlight! I was in around breakfast and food was solidly mediocre. I chose the free options available made to order, an egg and cheese sandwich and tomato soup (which was certainly Campbell's). I happen to appreciate both those, but it certainly wasn't what I was expecting. Bar appeared to be cash, showers available for cash ($15). I went to the shower after 24 hours of flight. The shampoo and conditioner available were decent if you didn't pack your own, and linens clean. No hair dryer or other amenities available as far as I could tell. Worth it after the long flight, but probably could've used a bit more amenities for the price, considering typically they are included with lounge admission. Overall, I probably won't be returning to this lounge unless I really wanna take advantage of the shower, which the other Priority Pass lounges in that terminal do not have.

    Nice little bar

    Part of the Priority Pass lounges, we stopped by while waiting for our flight. Small, but a decent lounge with a full bar, more quiet than the other lounges we peeked into nearby (Ethiad and KLM). They have a few snacks out and a few hot dishes you can order with the QR code and they will bring them out for you. Service was quick and fast with the food delivery and clean up. 5/5 for that!

    Oh my, I have been in a lot of lounges and this one takes the cake--for all the wrong reasons. Let's start with the "complimentary" drinks: the only beer option was Pabst Blue Ribbon. That's it. Wine? A mystery red and a forgettable chardonnay. No cocktails, no variety, nothing that says "premium experience." The poor bartender has to tell everyone that orders that there is a cost for what they requested and then gives the short list for complimentary beverages. Food? They offer some mini sandwiches, pasta salad and kale salad. You can order from a menu, but there are only eight two-seater tables in the whole place. So unless you time it perfectly, you'll be juggling your plate on your lap or standing awkwardly in a corner. The lounge itself felt tired and worn out. The furniture looked like it had seen better decades, and the overall vibe was more DMV waiting room than airport oasis. Bottom line: this was hands-down the worst lounge I've visited, especially considering the size and status of the airport. If you have other options, take them.

    Clean, nice "exclusive" perk offering private restrooms, seating, and bar away from hustle of Dulles terminal A -- all with natural light and views outside. Some complimentary refreshments rotate during meal times and are a plus. Chips, pretzels, oranges, bananas, cookies, coffee, water,, Kale salad, turkey sandwich, and pasta salad all on the house during my visit. Downsides are lack of charging stations and spots for larger groups/families.

    Very relaxing, plenty of spacious seating, free light food options, menu to order food and drink (pay), various spirits and relaxing music. Very relaxing with friendly staff. They change over from breakfast to brunch at 11am.

    These foods and tea were free.

    I was introduced to this lounge when I used All Nippon Airways to go back to Japan. The lounge was spacious and there were a lot of outlets for charging. The staff was kind and I was able to relax before departure.

    This lounge has the most comfortable seats of all the lounges. I like the ones with a footrest that lean back. The food seemed sparse and the accommodations are fairly simple, but it wasn't crowded when I was there. Clean shower area and the entire lounge was quieter than some of the others. If I am hungry, this won't be a go-to, but it's a great option to have.

    Lounge now open to Priority Pass members before 2pm. Conveniently located near the underground walkway between the main Terminal and the A and B gates. Decent amount of seating especially as it was not over crowded like the Turkish Lounge. Breakfast served until 11AM when they switch to the Lunch menu. Breakfast featured various pastries, oat meal, and miso soup on order. Lunch had 2 different salads and 2 different sandwiches. You can also order the hot soup, pita and hummus from the menu. Unique items not in other IAD lounges: physical newspapers including the Washington Post, USA Today, Financial Times Bathrooms were clean and there was even a shower room. The gal at the check in was not the friendliest but everybody else was very nice.

    So I've always been fond of Virgin clubhouse lounge. They offer a la carte service and their food is usually pretty good. Today I got the chance to try their shrimp cocktail, tomato bisque, and Thai chicken curry rice. Very good no complaints.

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.

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.
