The Good

Larger than the Concourse B location with more seating and a dedicated quiet area
Revolution Brewing and Goose Island on tap bring legit Chicago craft beer to your layover
Three shower suites mean shorter waits compared to most United Club locations

The Bad

Longer walk from the Terminal 1 security checkpoint compared to the Concourse B club
Friday deep-dish bites are popular and can disappear within the first hour
Morning rush can still create brief waits at entry despite the larger space

Pro Tips

Friday afternoons often feature deep-dish pizza bites. They are not on a set schedule but appear most weeks between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Ask the staff if today is pizza day.
The quiet work pods past the bar are the best-kept secret here. Most travelers stay near the food, leaving the back section peaceful for focused work or napping.
Revolution Anti-Hero IPA in cans is a Chicago staple. If you see Half Acre Daisy Cutter on the rotating menu, grab one since it appears less frequently.
If your gate is on Concourse B, you can still visit this lounge easily via the underground tunnel. Allow about 8 minutes for the walk back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Concourses B and C in Terminal 1 are connected by an underground tunnel with moving walkways. The walk takes about 5 to 8 minutes depending on your starting gate.

Are there local beer options?

Yes. This location stocks Goose Island 312 and IPA on tap, Revolution Anti-Hero IPA in cans, and occasionally rotates in Half Acre or Lagunitas selections from the Chicago area.
