Can you access it with priority pass?

Priority Pass, Lounge Pass, Plat and airline passes did not let me in the two times I tried in the last month. I had to ask someone in line.

I don't find the lounge anything special... the airport is overcrowded though so it does come in handy

It ain't FCT, but it's definitely among the nicest business class lounges. And the food spread there is off the wall.

How is that useful to anybody here?

Not in the same league as VS, SQ, CX but I guess better than LH and LX

Could be useful to some, who knows. I'm just putting it out there.

I think it's better than CX or SQ J lounges. VS is probably top.

is this the lounge with the movie theater & pool tables or is this hearsay?

Yes.

As it is not a UA Club, no.

Can J passengers bring Y passengers in?

Yes (not the credit card, the lounge card it comes with).

You're allowed entry to (participating) star alliance lounges, not just UA.

Sounds like a no if you are trying to guest in as simply a J passenger:

Eligibility:
Business Class travellers on international flights operated by Turkish Airlines,
Miles&Smiles Elite and Elite Plus members (they may invite their families or one guest),
Star Alliance Gold members (they may invite one guest),
First and Business Class travellers on flights operated by Star Alliance member airlines.

The lounge cannot be accessed through Priority Pass or by paying at the entrance.

Trying to gather info here between all the different threads covering IST Lounges, it's pretty confusing.
Which lounge can I access with my family? (have Ritz, Plat etc.)
Thanks.
