Chase Sapphire Lounge Philadelphia Review: Is It Worth It?

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated August 2026

The short answer: The Chase Sapphire Lounge Philadelphia is in the Terminal D/E connector at Philadelphia (PHL), about 20,000 sq ft,, open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.. The Middle Child Clubhouse food and the indoor beer garden give it more personality than almost any lounge in the network. You get in free with the Chase Sapphire Reserve (as well as the Sapphire Reserve for Business and the J.P. Morgan Reserve), with up to two guests included. Priority Pass access to Chase Sapphire Lounges ends August 15, 2026, so from that point they are effectively a Sapphire Reserve perk.

Here is an honest, on-the-ground look at what the space is actually like, what you will eat and drink, how crowded it tends to get, and exactly which cards open the door.
