Pablo VladimirMay 28, 2016Really wonderful experience. Enjoyed the wine tasting Unlike the bar at United Clubs, you can get more cocktails and beer on the house. The food is amazing and I felt very well rested with ample seats
Upvoted 3 weeks ago- Stealth MooseMarch 28, 2018Great lounge. Some good food options. The only downside was that it was packed and hard to find a couple of seats together (if at all). Nevertheless, a much better option than the two United lounges.

One of the best Centurion lounges, with great food. It's worth skipping the airline lounges for this one.Upvoted Mar 20
I’m torn - it can get very crowded, but on quieter days the drinks (incl the wine tasting wall) are excellent. Food solid as well.
- Lucille FisherDecember 6, 2015Very good lounge, unique feature is the wine tasting bar. Very friendly staff great lounging space. Only downside if you travel a lot is the food offering- it's tasty but the menu does not change!
If you fly through T3 often and are eligible for Amex Platinum, this place makes the annual fee worth it. Service is excellent, drinks are plentiful & meals are better than most real restaurants.
Super crowded usually, but it's definitely a league above the airline lounges. I've always been a fan.
Scott BrownNovember 10, 2016Tremendous customer service on our arrival at the lounge from Miriam. A free bar and very tasty food at the restaurant made for a very pleasant couple of hours before the flight. Would recommend.- After renovation there is now a new seating area with a much larger bar and additional food options. The new area is a lot larger too. Also, two showers now available, ask staff to use.Upvoted 1 week ago
Great hot food bar and drink selection. Gets crowded, but not as bad as a lot of other lounges. Nice for United fliers.
Martin CervantesAugust 6, 2016The staff are courteous and warm. The lounge areas are very comfortable. The appetizers are scrumptious and the drink selections, excellent! It was a very enjoyable experience for me and my family.
Breakfast is always great. Fantastic variety of fruits, eggs, French toast, pancakes and other side dishes. One of my favorite lounges
A nice place to relax before your flight. Free WiFi, coffee machine, good food. Wine sampling and bar, Also a lounge area on the other side.
Marcella SchlegelSeptember 7, 2017Good facilities. Beverage bar has interesting wine selections. Food better than most lounges. Sometimes is a bit crowded but people come and go and you can find a seat.
- Joe DAugust 27, 2018Ask the bartender to do the wine tasting. (S)He'll give you a barcode you can scan along the wine wall. 5 small tastes per barcode.
This is by far the best lounge in the SFO Airport. The food is yummy, coffee is great. The service is excellent and I enjoy the atmosphere here. The staff is friendly.
Great food, cocktails, wine and beer selection. A solid place to wait for a flight but can get crowded.
Excellent lounge at SFO! Complimentary access for Platinum cardholders. You'll be allowed through security in Terminal 3, even if your flight departs from another terminal. Well worth the visit!- Best lounge at SFO when traveling domestically. Can get way overcrowded, but at least there are solid food and drink options
- Sid DesaiMay 3, 2021New reopening hours: 8:00 AM- 6:00 PM. Once you are seated, by the hostess, you must remain at that seat for the duration of your time in the lounge.
David PattersonDecember 9, 2014Check out the signature cocktails at the bar. each is locally inspired by San Francisco traditions and ingredients. Also be sure to leave extra time to clear security again if you're not flying United
Great cocktails and food. If you're a gold card member entrance is worth the $50 you'd spend somewhere else anyway.
You could spend $450/year on a United club pass, or you could spend that on an Amex Platinum card and have a superior lounge and way way more benefits.
Hands down the best lounge in T3. Been a United Club/Red Carpet Club member for years. I don’t use United Club if Centurion Lounge is an option.
You can get to the Centurion Lounge from the international terminal. Just follow signs for airline lounges / gates 60-90.
YaYaFebruary 16, 2015By far a very pleasant surprise for airport lounges! wine dispenser- gourmet breakfast - awesome customized lattes & a super cute family room! & much more.
Hot food, open bar, coffee, wine tastings, shower facilities. All complimentary with admission. Amex Platinum & Centurion Card holders get in for free. All other Amex card holders get in for $50.
Free wine tasting bar featuring Napa's best. Must try the Darioush which is limited in production
Perhaps the best Airport Lounge- Excellent food and drinks at no charge if you have Amex
Lovely spot. Food is good, though worse at off-hours. Open bar. Internet password is "member since"
Get dropped off near the end of Terminal 3 departure for quick access if you're not flying out from this terminal.
The Lounge can be accessed post-security from Terminal 3 or from International Terminal G near Gate 74. All other terminals are not connected post-security at SFO.
Keith BlodornNovember 15, 2021Nice lounge, good food, but needs to be expanded. Was very crowded on the Sunday I flew through there.
Steve VOctober 20, 2017On irrops days come watch the staff scramble to maintain order and civility. It's Must see TV. F&B is better than anything you could possibly buy post security.
David OjserkisDecember 15, 2018Unfortunately what used to be a great and exclusive concept, has gotten too popular. The lounge is more crowded then the regular terminal and there is never a place to sit. Go to the United Club.
- Forget all the other lounges at SFO this is the lounge to stay at! Great food, drinks and friendly staff
- Kevin CMarch 23, 2016Great selection of wine to try at any time of the day and night. Great food too!
RexSeptember 9, 2017Located in terminal 3. Only international terminal G (not A) is connected post security, so you will have to go through security twice. Quite crowded. Food is good but not much to choose from- Erik LaneFebruary 2, 2015Free access if you have a "Platinum" card from American Express. Oh wait.....just not the DELTA Platinum American Express.....with that card it is only $50 Per visit.
- Relaxing. Forget all the other lounges at SFO this is the lounge to stay at!
- There are some quiet lounge chairs hidden next to the window opposite the reception desk
- Keith BlodornApril 23, 2022Despite using the app the check in, we still had to get in line and then wait to be let in. They did a good job of seating people inside the lounge. Food was mediocre. Overall not a great “premium”.
Matt ShobeJanuary 31, 2019This particular Thursday it's more crowded than any other part of the terminal. Hardly a special experience as is.
