Bar in United Clubs (Is there a time when they start serving alcohol?)
I just joined Flyertalk after reading for many years. I just have a quick question regarding the bar in United Clubs. (Please don't take this the wrong way, I am just curious!) 
Is there a time when they start serving alcohol or is it from the time the club opens? I ask this being based at IAH where there are some draconian liquor laws on Sundays.

Here is the law in Texas: http://www.tabc.state.tx.us/faq/general.asp. Scroll down to Hours of Sale and Consumption. In a nutshell it's 7am Mon-Sat, and Noon on Sunday. Other states have dumb laws too like NJ. In Washington it's 6am-2am every day.

Local laws. IIRC, PDX only recently was allowed to sell any kind of hard liquor, and even now it has to wait until noon. I've never tried before noon at the SEA United Club, but I have gotten a drink at other SEA-based clubs.

DFW is another matter (though hours are same), but they make them different, and not as good

I love the Bloody Marys at IAH, but can't get them until 7 a.m. Of course now that I no longer fly from IAH and only connect there, it's not a problem. Don't normaly fly out on a Sunday, so can't speak from experience.
