The Club at PHX at Sky Harbor Airport

Update: The Club at PHX closed in 2019.

Although I usually fly out of Sky Harbor’s Terminal 4, I only recently had the chance to use the Priority Pass lounge there because the hours were previously limited. Until earlier this year, The Club at PHX was only open for Priority Pass users from 8am-3:30pm which didn’t work for me as I typically fly very early or very late. Last month I finally got to check out the lounge now that the hours are 5am-11:30pm.

The lounge is upstairs from the Concourse B boarding area. Although there are no bathrooms in the lounge, small ones are located just outside the door. As I approached the entry, a woman greeted me and asked to see my ID, Priority Pass card, and boarding pass. With it being just after the opening time of 5am, I ended up being the only person there for about 30 minutes. Though it was nice to have the space to myself, it also meant the bartender was no where to be found. He eventually showed up as others filtered in.
The selection of breakfast food was pretty good—fresh fruit, yogurt, and pastries plus shelf-stable foods like granola bars and oatmeal. Of course, there was also a sign indicating that the food should only be consumed while in the lounge. Non-alcoholic beverages like coffee, tea, and water were also available.
There were plenty of comfortable chairs, but no outlets located at these chairs. The computers and a few hi-tops had outlets, but these were not anywhere near as comfortable or convenient. If it had been a high traffic time, it’s likely that people would’ve been waiting to use outlets. In addition to the lack of outlets, there's no monitor to check flight information although there was a TV tuned to a cable news channel. The Club at PHX is a decent enough airport lounge, but I would've been disappointed had my entry fee not been a perk of one of my credit cards.
