What if one of the most satisfying moments of your trip happened before takeoff? Across select Centurion Lounges, American Express serves locally inspired food and beverages that elevate the airport lounge, from speakeasy cocktails at New York (JFK) to Blue Roast coffee bars and customizable ramen at Tokyo (HND).
Designed for comfort and discovery, these lounges are a destination before your destination. Here are six standout food and beverage amenities to seek out on your next trip.
Blue Roast Coffee Bars in JFK, SEA, and SLC
The Blue Roast Coffee Bar offers a rotating selection of café favorites, from carefully brewed coffees and specialty drinks to refreshing smoothies, teas, and light bites. Guests may find seasonal offerings like a honey lavender latte or strawberry matcha, alongside a menu of fresh options such as avocado toast, colorful salads, and sandwiches like a smoked turkey baguette. Pastry highlights include flaky croissants, chocolate chip muffins, and lemon scones, while smoothies range from green blends to fruit-forward favorites and more hearty options. Selections can vary by location and time, but there’s always something thoughtfully crafted.
Speakeasy in JFK
Tucked inside The Centurion Lounge, New York City (JFK) the speakeasy-style bar is a more intimate setting to enjoy a drink. Two of the most popular choices are the Espresso Martini, finished with a signature “1850” dusting on top, and the refreshing Platinum Mule. While there is no dedicated food menu in the space, guests are welcome to bring in selections from the lounge to enjoy alongside their cocktails.
Must be 21+ to drink alcohol. Please drink responsibly.
Ramen Bar, Sushi Bar, and Wagashi Dessert Bar in HND
The Centurion Lounge, Tokyo, features a ramen bar that will prepare your choice of pork bone broth or a shoyu (soy sauce) base. Then customize your bowl with a selection of toppings that may include dried seaweed, green onions, chashu pork, pickled leaf mustard, pickled ginger, and wood ear mushrooms. There’s also a sushi bar with a rotating selection of options, along with a wagashi counter featuring traditional Japanese confections.
Craft American Whiskey Bar in ATL
At The Reserve in The Centurion Lounge, Atlanta, American whiskey takes center stage in a refined, full-service bar setting. The menu celebrates bourbon and whiskey-forward cocktails, with favorites like the Gold Rush (a honey-forward take on a Whiskey Sour) and the Penicillin (a modern Scotch cocktail balancing smoky, spicy, sweet, and citrus notes), while classics such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan remain top guest picks. Behind the bar, a strong lineup of sought-after pours round out the experience for whiskey enthusiasts.
