The Good
- Solid workspace for business travelers with reliable wifi and plenty of power
- Lagunitas and other California craft beers on draft are a nice local touch
- Shower facilities help freshen up after long flights from Asia or Hawaii
The Bad
- Terminal 7 is connected to Terminal 8 airside but not to lower-numbered terminals
- Can feel crowded during the morning domestic rush to SFO and other California cities
- Food offerings are standard United Club fare, nothing exceptional
Pro Tips
- The airside connector to Terminal 8 means you can visit this club even if your gate is in Terminal 8. Check before leaving security.
- Ask for the Lagunitas IPA on tap rather than the bottled version. It is noticeably fresher and poured well here.
- If you are a tech worker commuting between LA and the Bay Area, the morning flights fill this lounge fast. Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure for a seat.
- The power outlets near the back window seats are the least contested. Most people sit near the entrance and miss them.
