The Club CLE

Priority Pass gets you into The Club CLE by Concourse B

This is CLE’s only independent lounge option, sitting just inside the Main Terminal B concourse entrance, in the hallway by the Ohio sports shop. Hours run roughly 04:30–21:00, which covers most domestic departures out of Cleveland. Entry comes via Priority Pass or paid day pass at around $33 on promo, usually discounted from a higher $40–$49 rack rate shown at the desk.

The space itself is small and often feels cramped, especially during the 16:00–19:00 departure bank. Several regulars call it “pretty basic” and “better than the gate, but not by much” once the room fills. Layout is awkward, so even with only a few dozen people it can feel tight, and seats near power outlets go quickly.

Food runs to light snacks and finger food instead of full meals: think chips, hummus, small sandwiches, and cookies rather than anything resembling a hot entrée. Flyers on LoungeReview and FlyerTalk say it’s fine value with Priority Pass, but not worth paying the full $40–$49 walk‑up price if you’re hoping to replace dinner. Use it for a quick bite, not a full preflight meal.

Drinks are the main draw for many Priority Pass users here. Expect a basic bar with house beer, wine, and standard spirits included, plus a coffee machine and soft drinks. Several people on FlyerTalk mention dropping in mainly for one or two drinks and Wi‑Fi in the hour before boarding instead of camping out all afternoon.

Access rules allow entry up to 3 hours before departure, and staff do enforce that window. Regulars with longer layovers often kill the first chunk of time in the Main concourse, then walk into The Club for the final 60–120 minutes. One FlyerTalk poster noted they could usually find a seat without trouble in the late morning, when traffic through B is lighter.

Watch out for: peak crowding 16:00–19:00, limited seating, and the snack‑only spread making the $40+ rack rate feel steep. If you hold Priority Pass, it’s still a step up from the gate. One practical move: grab a real meal in the terminal first, then use The Club CLE near B gates for drinks, Wi‑Fi, and a chair with power before you board.
