Airport Dimensions has opened the very first shared-use lounge in Chicago Midway’s 96-year history. The multi-functional space provides areas for work and relaxation, besides a bar and floor-to-ceiling windows providing views of the airfield. Seating 76 persons across 3,265 square feet, the new lounge is at MDW’s Central Market, at the intersection of Concourses A and B.
The Club MDW is part of Midway Partnership’s extensive redevelopment of the concessions program at Midway, a partnership by Vantage Group, SSP America and Hudson. Midway’s concession program includes more than 70 new shopping, dining and service offerings showcasing Chicago’s iconic brands and local favorites.
A common theme across The Club’s portfolio of lounges, The Club MDW embraces local culture from local food and drink offerings to art displays. Guests can indulge in locally sourced cuisine and beverages, including craft beers from Revolutionary Brewing and Two Brothers Brewing, alongside spirits from the Chicago-based Koval Distillery. The menu reflects the city’s culinary scene, while signature cocktails include the Chicago Fizz and the Southside.
The lounge is designed to suit all traveler needs, whether they’re seeking a quiet spot to work or a comfortable space to unwind. It supports Midway travelers with 90 percent of seating equipped with power outlets.
Additionally, The Club MDW is partnering with The Greater Chicago Food Depository in support of Hunger Action Month, a nationwide effort to raise awareness about hunger in America and inspire action. For the first 30 days of opening, guests can contribute to a virtual food drive via QR codes provided in the lounge, which will go towards food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, mobile distribution and other projects across Chicago and Cook County.
The Club MDW is available to members of Priority Pass and LoungeKey customers. Both Priority Pass and LoungeKey are operated by Collinson International, part of The Collinson Group. The Collinson Group is the parent company of Airport Dimensions. Day passes are also available for $50 to all Midway passengers with a boarding pass.
The Club MDW will be open from 4 to 10 p.m. every day.
