Although closed during CoVID, this is a nice place to relax, have snacks and a beverage. Very clean!

Overall ratings
I’ve been to 20+ lounges across the world with 6 different airlines and, other than the Avianca Lounge in MedellÃn, Colombia this was easily the worst. Felt dark, narrow/claustrophobic, and closed. I typically fly out of EWR, but if I’m ever flying AA out of PHL again I’d probably check out one of their other lounges first.
Perfection
Small but quite new lounge with nice interiour and good apron view. Staff at the front-desk was extremly friendly, especially compared with the people at the other AA PHL lounges that we visited this day – but of course that is just a personal note and has nothing to do with the place itself.
Self-service buffet with small choice of food items. Nothing fancy but the two soups were ok. Beverages have to be obtained at the bar, only tea and coffee are self-service.
Free Wifi, nice restrooms, some newspapers and magazines.
