Pleasant atmosphere, '60s music and '60s-style decor, food nothing special, a bit of a long wait for lunch.
Just had a couple of drinks. The drinks were made well the service was great and the atmosphere is one of a kind
The cocktails are competently-ish made, if nothing spectacular, though it's nice to see the Jet Set theme continuing with both an Aviation and a Paper Plane on the menu. It's decidedly not a craft cocktail spot, though it definitely would be amazing if it were. It's a hotel bar. It's a hotel bar with hotel bar prices. But what a hotel. What a hotel!
Get a Martini. Enjoy the mother of all conversation pits. Watch the art on the big split-flap board.

The Sunken Lounge offers a taste of nostalgia at JFK Airport. Despite long wait times for food, the friendly staff tries to make up for it with free drinks. The menu includes simple options like toasted cheese sandwiches. For a quick bite and a trip down memory lane, travelers can visit The Sunken Lounge before their flight. The lounge has a Jet Set theme, with vintage touches like an Aviation and a Paper Plane on the menu, and a big split-flap board to watch. It’s a hotel bar with hotel bar prices, but the vintage vibe and art make it special. Visitors can enjoy the Connie plane bar and the sunken lounge, with cozy seating areas and a little food court. Drinks aren’t served until 11, but the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the retro environment. Although the service isn’t perfect, and there are no outlets or good workspaces, the experience appeals especially to those interested in aviation or airport history. Overall, The Sunken Lounge is a fun stop that adds a nostalgic touch to the JFK travel experience.
