22,000 square feet of lounge on Terminal B’s Level 4

This Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club sits post-security on the east side of Terminal B’s main hall, up on Level 4 above the concourse, and runs daily from 04:30 to 21:30. It’s one of the largest spaces in the terminal at roughly 22,000 square feet, so it rarely feels crushed the way the nearby Centurion can at peak times.

Access isn’t as simple as the Sapphire branding suggests: you need a Chase Sapphire Reserve, J.P. Morgan Reserve, or Ritz‑Carlton card for complimentary entry via their special Priority Pass. Sapphire Preferred gets you exactly nothing here. Non‑Chase Priority Pass holders only get one free visit per year across all US Sapphire lounges and then pay $75 per visit after that.

Walk‑up day passes are available at $75 per person, which stings if you’re on a short layover, but makes more sense on a long delay when you’ll actually use the bar and food service. CSR, JPM Reserve, and Ritz‑Carlton cardholders can bring multiple guests for free under their unlimited-access Priority Pass, which FlyerTalk families lean on heavily during school‑holiday trips.

Food is the headliner here: multiple bloggers rank the LGA Chase Sapphire Lounge as the best dining play in Terminal B, with restaurant‑style tapas and hot dishes that feel closer to a sit‑down meal than typical buffet trays. Regulars time their visit to hit proper breakfast spreads before 10:30 and then switch to the afternoon small plates and made‑to‑order items once the bar hits its stride.

The bar runs all day and pulls in good reviews for its cocktails and decent wine list, all included once you’re through the door. If you care more about a solid drink and a plate of something that isn’t prepackaged, this beats camping at a Terminal B gate bar where a single mixed drink can easily clear $18.

The big miss: no shower access for general guests. Frequent flyers who need to clean up after a redeye often walk over to the neighboring Centurion Lounge just for a shower slot after eating here. If you’re landing on an early arrival and really want a rinse, plan at least 30 extra minutes to bounce between the two lounges.

Practical tip: with Terminal B security sometimes taking 20–30 minutes in the morning bank, clear first, head straight up to Level 4, and treat this lounge as your main meal stop before walking back down to your gate in A, B, or C piers.
