If you have time, this place is worth a visit. Very chill place in an otherwise frenetic airport environment. You'll enjoy the 60s vibe.

The building and the bar environment are impressive. The drinks (everything from bottles and cans of course no problem) do not meet that standard: For the "Paper Plane" (Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Montenegro & Lemon Twist) a premix (4cl + 4cl lemon juice) is shaken briefly, then poured into a (naturally unchilled) plastic glass with the "lemon twist" (here a half lemon slice with a seed) - $18. So disappointing that they don't put more effort into a place like this.

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

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.

Enjoying the Days
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.

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

way overpriced for a quesadilla barley filled and not good at all, don’t waste your time, just get uber eats delivered
Great hotel, consider hiring people who are helpful.

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.

Definitely an awesome place to sit and relax while visiting the best aviation themed hotel in the world.The sunken lounge at the TWA hotel is awesome.Even if you have four or five hours of a layover at JFK, checking out this hotel land historic building is a must do.

A little disappointed, the Sunken Lounge was closed for a private even until 9PM, but at 11:00PM the event was still going on. Since we were only at the hotel one night, it felt like we missed one of the reasons we stayed!
Staff was rude.
