| - Finally got a chance to check out the second The Club at this airport, last night around 8 PM. The bar is the same bar setup as other The Clubs, which is to say, pretty respectable selection of solidly-mid-tier booze, though it's a staffed bar, not self-service, sadly. (I prefer self-service - way easier to concoct cocktail experiments that way.) Food is definitely a few steps up from the other one, as expected, including proper sandwiches: I tried the tuna, which was pretty decent; there were also roast beef and turkey sandwiches, which I didn't try. Also had soup, hummus and pita, three types of fancy olives, the usual assortment of vegetables and cheese, and notably, tasty little chipotle cream cheese bites with definite real chipotle in them. Wifi was solid the whole time, and staff were friendly.
One minor complaint, though: no view, or indeed much in the way of natural light - felt a bit like you're in a box. I'll still take it in exchange for free food and booze, though (obviously I'd feel differently if I'd paid 30 bucks to get in, but nobody who travels much should be doing that, with the Sapphire Reserve being as awesome as it is. Thanks, Chase, for getting me into all these lounges!)
edit: I tried the other two sandwiches on the way back out. They were ok, but the tuna was definitely the winner. Also learned a new simple but delicious cocktail to make with ingredients available here: The French Connection, being 50/50 cognac and Disaronno.
