The Club Opens a "Pantry" Lounge at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport (ATL)
Exciting news at the world's busiest airport, also known as Atlanta (ATL). The Club has opened a much needed mini-lounge called Pantry. The Club Pantry is located in ConcourseĀ F directly next door to the existing Club lounge on the mezzanine level and is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00 (10 pm). The opening date of this location is unknown, but it appears to have opened sometime near the end of 2025.
Amenities
The new colorful lounge is a bit small and limited, but that helps keep the traffic flowing. The idea of being able to grab some quick snacks between flights helps relieve overcrowding in the main lounge next door. The lounge features some seating areas and small tables. Once inside the lounge, there are several labeled areas (Snack, Treat, Sweet, and Trash), each offering different food or beverage choices. In the Snack area prepackaged food is available, including sandwiches, pita, cheese, fruit, yogurt, and pasta salad. There is also a Treat area which is a freezer serving ice cream and ice cream sandwiches. The Sweet area has sugar snacks such as jelly beans and other candies. For those wanting an alcoholic beverage, they have eight self-pour taps offering beer and cider options.
Access
Once you enter the lounge, there is an employee waiting at a reception desk to help you check-in. The lounge is a member of the Priority Pass program, and you can visit the lounge using any Priority Pass membership. I assume you can also access the lounge via a day pass, but that is not confirmed. It does appear they have a policy that if you enter one lounge, you can't enter the other lounge on the same visit, so plan for which one makes sense.

Closing Thoughts
The Club ATL is well known to be overcrowded and often on a wait. I think this quick snack bar option is a great idea and will help everyone wanting to visit the lounge. The idea of a sidecar or mini lounge is not new, but this is a little different since it is not true grab-and-go.
