Great update; thanks! I was definitely getting tired of the same items each time I visited last year.

Turkish Lounge

Stopped in Sunday from 1615-1645. Lounge was crowded. Food options pretty mediocre especially compared to a few years ago. Liquor situation is abysmal.

On the upside, the food selection appears to be a vast improvement to what they have been offering the last year and a half. Looks to be much more to choose from.

.....

Thanks for the update. While not ultra premium, the liquor selection doesn't strike me as "abysmal". Am I missing something?

In the past, the TK lounge has had Myanmar beer. A basic third world lager, but not the kind of thing you see very much in the US.

I don't think I'd use the word "abysmal", and I don't think it was ever top shelf, but it does look like a bit of a step down from previously. The primary thing I notice is no more actual Bourbon (formerly Wild Turkey). I am quite sure they had a nicer gin than Gordon's previously; maybe Bombay Sapphire? At least it's not Fleischmanns, though, eh?

Hope LH brings back liquor soon!

TK has less choices, but the bartenders have been awesome lately, and remember you now compared to before.

Agreed. Presentation aside, I'd be happy with the TK food pics above (and the liquor selection). It definitely looks pre-pandemic quality, based on my visits 6-12 months prior to the pandemic.

Haha. Yeah, I'll take Gordon's over Fleischmanns for sure. (I actually don't mind Gordon's at all for G&Ts, but not quite good enough to drink on its own).

I didn't notice the lack of a real bourbon.

Well I was missing something: a decent scotch, bourbon or vodka! Compare this to the selection at the VS Lounge which is accessible via Amex Platinum:

And the last time I was there, the VS lounge champagne was Lanson Black Label. (AF, with PP, has Taittinger.) TK has at the most had prosecco, and sometimes not even that.

I'm nitpicking, but with respect to non-flavored vodka, those VS selections are just as "abysmal" (or good) as TK.
