The Club CHS

Breakfast eggs at 04:10 and a quiet bar at 20:00

The Club CHS in the Main Concourse runs long hours for a regional airport: doors open at 04:10 and lights go out at 20:30. It sits airside in the main post-security stretch, so you stay inside TSA once you’re in. Figure 10–15 minutes to walk back to a far-end gate if you stroll rather than sprint.

Access, day passes, and who should pay $60

Entry works via Priority Pass or a walk-up day pass at about $60. That price only makes sense if you’ll actually eat and drink here instead of grabbing a $12 sandwich in the concourse. For a short 45‑minute sit with one drink, skip it; for a 90‑minute dinner stop before a 19:30–21:00 departure, it pencils out better.

Small footprint, smarter seating

The room is compact, and several reviews call out limited seating for the number of Priority Pass cards in circulation at CHS. You enter into a narrow front zone with chairs that feels tight, then it opens up near the back. Regulars push past the first rows and aim for the rear seating by the food area, which tends to stay calmer and gives quicker access to the bar.

Made-to-order food and a legit breakfast

For a non-hub lounge, the kitchen is the star: there is a staffed bar/kitchen doing food to order instead of just pre-wrapped snacks. Morning visits in reviews show a hot buffet with eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, French toast, oatmeal and pastries. This is closer to a solid Sky Club breakfast than the usual Priority Pass crackers-and-hummus situation.

Bar setup and late-evening sweet spot

The bar is fully tended, and reports mention it already pouring morning cocktails alongside coffee. One FlyerTalk poster with a 21:00 flight counted only six guests between 19:30 and 21:00, so late evening can feel almost like private bar service. That’s the window frequent visitors target for a quiet sit-down meal and a drink before heading to the gate around T‑30.

Bathrooms, TVs, and why this isn’t an all-day office

Facilities are minimal but focused: two single-occupancy unisex bathrooms, two TVs awkwardly placed so maybe eight people can really see sports, and one computer with a printer/scanner for last‑minute docs. There are no showers, so this is a pre-flight pit stop, not a post-red-eye clean-up spot.

What regulars actually do and one tip

FlyerTalk and blog regulars treat The Club CHS as a 45–90 minute pre-flight stop: check in, grab a made-to-order plate, print anything needed, have a drink, then walk out around 25–30 minutes before boarding. One practical move: if your gate is at the far end of Main, set a timer for T‑40 so you leave early enough to stroll back without clock-watching or a last‑minute jog.
