The Good
- Memphis BBQ-inspired food items make this Sky Club feel distinctly local
- Showers are rarely in demand here, so you can usually walk in without a wait
- Wiseacre Brewing drafts on tap are a Memphis staple you will not find at other Sky Clubs
- Smaller crowd means a more relaxed atmosphere than busier hub locations
The Bad
- Only accessible to Delta flyers with no third-party access options
- Smaller footprint than Sky Clubs at major hubs like Atlanta or Detroit
- Closes at 8:45 PM which can miss late evening departures
Pro Tips
- The dry-rub wings rotate onto the lunch menu around 11:30 AM. They are made in small batches and go fast, so time your visit accordingly.
- Ask the bartender for the Wiseacre Tiny Bomb pilsner if you want the most popular Memphis craft beer. It is always on tap but not always on the display menu.
- Showers here almost never have a wait, even during peak hours. MEM's lower passenger volume means you can usually walk right in.
- If you are connecting through Memphis, this lounge is perfectly positioned near the middle of Concourse B. Most Delta gates are within a 3-minute walk.
