The Sunken Lounge

Awful overpriced food

Massive wait on food. I waited more than an hour for a toasted cheese sandwich. Others had similar waits and were complaining. Felt sorry for the bar tender who was lovely. Ended up getting a free drink for my wait but 1hour+ for a toasted cheese is too long. Didn’t even finish it cause it wasn’t all that hot either

If you have some free time before your flight check out The TWA Lounge and Hotel at JFK. Perfect to get a quick bite and check out all the Nostalgia of TWA past.

Great place and clean

The Sunken Lounge was pretty groovy. The rich, retro, red lounge was warm and welcoming, and the view of Connie Cocktail Lounge out the back with the runway lights was far out. When we were watching the final season of The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel, it was neat to see TWA Hotel and The Sunken Lounge used as the set for the airport.

We came here to check out the retro hotel while waiting for a relative to arrive. So fun to come and relive the days when we used to fly through here on TWA. We stopped at the Sunken Lounge for a drink and asked Paul, the bartender, for his best non-alcoholic drink. I wanted something creative. Well he did not disappoint! He came up with an inspired and refreshingly delicious concoction that we thoroughly enjoyed. We enjoyed our mock tail in this fun and retro atmosphere.

Cute glasses and very capable bartender. Delicious drinks don't hurt.
